I got a blood test and it shows that my TSH is a bit elevated. My neck feels a lil swollen and I feel a bit hyper. Is this overreactive thyroid? I also have shortness of breath at night when I am going to bed. But not asleep yet.

Is your TSH elevated high (big number) hypothyroid or low (small number) hyperthyroid?? I am currently hyperthyroid on purpose to suppress any cancer and the symptoms that I have is elevated heart rate/ pulse with a TSH of .26. When I was even more hyperthyroid (TSH .08) I had extreme anxiety/ nervousness, jittery/ hyper, every elevated heart rate at rest, fine hand tremors, increased sweating, sensitivity towards heat, insomia, and I felt like my breathing was heavier at night.

Well, symptoms of hypothyroidism usually include tiredness, weakness, feeling cold or chilled, dry hair and skin, brittle nails, depression, constipation, trouble thinking clearly, and for women, heavy or irregular menstrual periods. I went into extreme hypothyroidism (TSH 162) after a total thyroidectomy and being off any thyroid replacement hormone for a month made me feel mostly lazy and my heart rate/pulse was lower/weaker. That shortness of breath you have is associated with hypothyroidism, some with the swelling.

However, your hyperactivity is not associated with high TSH levels, lethargy is. A hyper feeling is generally associated with hyperthyroidism (I’m  currently this) or an over dose. Sorry this is so long, I was confused if you are showing “hypo” or “hyper” symptoms. Hope this helps.

Do you feel badly most of the time and cannot figure out why?  You may have a condition called Hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) and not even know it.  Oprah brought attention to this medical issue when it happened to her.  The list of symptoms below may indicate that you could possibly be suffering needlessly from a thyroid problem that can easily be treated by your doctor.

Are you experiencing any of these problems in your daily life: fatigue, sluggishness, poor concentration or memory loss, dry skin, low sex drive, cold feet and hands,  hair thinning, thick and cracking nails, fluid retention, hoarse voice, high cholesterol, depression, anxiety, weight gain or loss, anemia, aching joints, low body temperature, PMS, infertility, muscle cramps, pain or weakness?  A combination of these symptoms can affect the quality of your life and are treatable.  It’s not a normal part of life to feel this way.  Do you want to feel alert, energetic and youthful again?  Then go get tested now!  There is a home thyroid test that you can take in the privacy and comfort of your own home.

Hypothyroidism is when your thyroid gland is not working properly and slows down causing all body systems to do the same. This affects men and women of all ages, although women are affected 8 times more than men.   It affects the entire body – your brain, heart, organs, hormones, etc….  Your thyroid is the master metabolism hormone that controls the function and activity of every organ, and every cell, in the body.  Low thyroid function can lead to more serious problems such as diabetes and heart attacks.  Your chances of having this condition increase dramatically if it runs in your family as it is a genetic problem.

Conventional medicine has a hard time diagnosing it.  TSH is the usual test to determine if you have it.  Don’t suffer unnecessarily anymore – get tested  and determine if you have a low functioning thyroid and together with your doctor you can create a plan of healthy living that includes dietary changes and medical treatment to change the way you feel everyday. About half of the estimated 35 million Americans with thyroid disease remain undiagnosed.  All those symptoms that you have been experiencing are not just a normal part of aging – you can do something about it!  Go get tested now !

About this test: The combination of the Thyroid Profile (T3T4T7) and the TSH test is ideal for evaluating thyroid function and/or symptoms of an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) or an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). Possible indications of inadequate amounts of the thyroid hormone are being tired, anxious, uptight, or experiencing weight gain or loss.
