What Causes Nose Bleeding After Taking Methimazole And Propranolol?
I have a hyperactive thyroid that was diagnosed in 2010. I was put on methimazole and propranolol. Last Wednesday I was hospitalized for observation. one of the things that I am concerned about is the thyroid stimulating hormones was 0. Just a moment ago I experienced a nose bleed. Is this normal?

Hello,
You might have experienced a thyroid storm and so the TSH was nil. Nose bleeds can be caused in grace's disease. It can also be caused by methimazole infrequently. You need to report this to your treating doctor. No need to panic as you are under observation already. Methimazole and propranolol help in treating hyperactive thyroid.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
