Suggest Treatment For Palpitations While On Thyroxine

Hi My mother is around 60 years of age. She was advised thyroxine 50 mcg by a general physician for her abnormal TSH. She took the medication for around 2 and half months when she started experiencing a fast heart rate, weakness and boredom. We consulted a endocrinologist who advised to stop thyroxine immediately and said that her condition ll improve within 4- 5 days. Slowly condition worsened and now she has a continuous headache with a feeling of fast heart rate. She also experiences nausea every now n then. Two days back we consulted a cardiologist who did eco and stress test and said that her heart is normal. He advised her prolomet xl 25 for her condition. Please advise if it is ok to take it in her condition.

Hello,

It may be due to over dosage of tablet thyroxine.

For that, I would suggest you consult with a physician and procure thyroid profile.

You may require tablet thyroxine dosage after consultation.

Along with that do regular blood pressure monitoring and keep your self hydrated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
