default
Posted on Fri, 18 Jul 2014
Question: I'm on 1.5Gr ( 90MG) of Thyroid Armour ( MFG Forest). I have been feeling tired.. my throat feels slightly enlarged. My blood pressure is normal under 120/80. I have lost 4-5 lbs in the last 2 weeks. My heart skips and has an extra heartbeat. When I eat it seems to go away. Does this sound like I'm taking too much thyroid or perhaps need a larger dosage ? I'm a male 53 yrs old.
