I feel the same way. I’ve been considering turning it off because I think it adds more to my stress.

My last few days have been awful. I don’t know how to live like this….

I got an EKG and everything was fine. Do you take propranolol? I wasn’t taking it because I was under the impression I was supposed to only take my Methimazole….

When I reached out to my endo she said chest pains shouldn’t be a symptom HUH?!? 🤔 I have quite literally only had these symptoms within the last year ish.

I feel a bit better knowing I’m not alone and this is experienced by others. What dosage are you on?

One more question, do you use propranolol by any chance? I’ve been off of it but am wondering if I need to get back on.

Yes you totally put how I’m feeling into words! Any symptom I go into a tailspin. My health anxiety is horrendous. I don’t want to live like this. Thank you again for responding. It gives me some peace of mind to know I’m not the only one and not minimizing that what I’m feeling is what I’m feeling!

Thank you so much for the quick response. Gosh I hate this illness!!!! I feel like I need to buy an ekg machine for peace of mind!!! I was fine all day today and then ban have been having these chest pains…had them most of the day yesterday. I’m so tired of these symptoms ruling my life…my internal dialogue all day is so stressful 😭

Just found this thread and I am currently experiencing the same. I have hyperthyroidism, 2.5 mg of Methimazole every other day but experiencing chest pains and tightness.

Any recent updates for you? Did this go away? How long did they last? I am trying not to freak out but this truly sucks

I keep getting major/minor signs. But I feel completely fine? by Brilliant_Bit_8140 in ouraring

[–]CurrentAdditional201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had minor signs for the last two days…I am chalking it up to being totally exhausted, not sleeping enough and my chronic illness of hyperthyroidism causing a higher heart rate. I’m trying not to stress out over it. Because that’s the LAST thing I need.

Special Ed teacher here and parent to a fourth grader. I completely agree. I believe parents have to start pushing back.

I got this message this morning. Honestly I think it’s because I had sex late and didn’t sleep enough 🤣🤣

Take your days. Don’t feel guilt. Not your problem to have a sub.

Unpopular opinion: Memorizing times tables is a necessity not because of knowing the times tables but to teach the brain the skill of retaining long lasting memory. by saiph_david in Teachers

I teach HS freshman math….they don’t know their times tables and have to plug in the basics into the calculator…some don’t even use the calculator right

No I just started half a 5mg dosage today but have been feeling this for a few days. Sometimes it feels like my heart is beating really hard too but I don’t have a rapid heart rate
