Question: I have started thyroid medication Eutroxsig a week ago due to high Ferretin levels (150).
I am experiencing a Hot feeling on the inside and increased activity in my nervous system especially at night time.
I do take HRT in the form sandrena gel (1mg) and Primolut tab 1/4 day. Taken for 5 years.
Blood pressure is good, no medication. I recently had an ECG (stress test) which showed mild ST or T wave changes to suggest inducible myocardial ischaemia. I am due to see a Cardiologist in mid December for a Angiogram.
I am not experiencing chest pain or other symptons related to heart problems.
Could this thyroid medication be the cause of this uncomfortable hot feeling?
Brief Answer:
Thyroid Hormone
Detailed Answer:
Hello.Delighted to be able to help.
Sensation of heat, nervousness, increased body temperature, increased heart rate, palpitations, diarrhea .... are side effects of thyroid hormone that you're taking.
Ferritin levels that you have (150) are at the limit of normal.When ferritin levels are very high, may decrease thyroid hormone levels in the blood and hence doctors advise to take thyroid hormone. You do not fit to the situation.
Your doctor should assess if it is necessary give you to take thyroid hormone (besides you are having adverse effects). If he finds it still necessary he may start at much lower dose of thyroxin.
