Brief Answer:
For how long have you been taking levothyroxine?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this feeling and all the inconveniences this has caused you. I have reviewed your information fully and this feeling could be related to the drug levothyroxine. If this is a new drug, the dosage might be high for you. Also, if there was a recent increase in your dosage, that could be the possible reason why. I will suggest that your dosage and medication should be reviewed and possibly lowered if indicated. If all of these possibilities are addressed, then we may want to think that this could be related to a possible anxiety state for which counseling and other medications may be recommended. Let me know what your immediate take and thoughts are.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

I've been taking the same dosage for a couple years. No previous problems. I have exercised induced asthma so I take the albuteral tablets. The inhalers didn't work for me. Can they cause the heart to pound hard like this?

Albuterol causes that and if that was a recent addition, please discuss it with your doctor.
