Hi –
My most blatant symptom was the heart racing and pounding, and the
resultant feelings of anxiety, as well as insomnia. I was immediately
put on a beta blocker until they were sure of the GD diagnosis. So I
was on a beta blocker for a month almost before the ATD. I am supposed
to stop the beta blocker when the ATD has things back to normal and I
FEEL NORMAL TOO, regardless of the blood work. The beta blocker made an
amazing and seemingly immediate difference in the quality of my day to
day (and night – snooze) life.
Good luck! It’s cheaper than a psychiatrist too! Susan
