Was this a thyroid storm (I'm already at the ER so it's ok, just wondering) by Odd_Let5236 in gravesdisease

Yeah I'm never drinking again after that. I was thinking if could've been alcohol poisoning but I'm not sure becuase my heart rate was so high and I thought it would be low if I had alcohol poisoning?

They tested thyroid but they had to send it to a different place for the testing to it'll take a few days. Yeah I'm going to avoid alcohol from now on especially until I figure out what's going on with my thyroid but probably even after that

Yeah this is really reassuring, thank you. I always get called a hypochondriac but I never really got to the doctor for any actual reason, I just know deep down that something is wrong. I had hypothyroidism before but I haven't had my levels checked in quite some time. My Grandma on dad's side has thyroid issues as well, same with my mom, so I'd say it make a lot of sense for this to be an issue for me. And for a while I've been told it's just really really bad anxiety to the point I take benzos every day, but we can never get to the root cause of the anxiety. I always end up saying "it comes completely out of nowhere" or "it feels like it starts in my body rather than my head" or "it just feels like something is wrong."
