Hi everyone
I havent posted here in a while. Luckily for me – I have continued to be in "remission" for almost a full year now. Levels are staying in normal range and antibody test was almost negative one year ago. I had suffered from GD for many years – and was on PTU for about 4 years. In late 2009 – I was having an accasional PVC – and had a cardio work up done – Holter, treadmill, echo and all was normal. I stopped PTU in Oct 2010 and then this past June – I started having tons of PVC’s again. It would come on and last for about 3 hours – sometimes on and off all day – now it seems to be whenever I am anxious, or get my HR up – (any exercise) I had a holter done last month again – only showed 4 pvcs, was in ER with them every 3 beats and they said all was ok. I just had a treadmill done this week – had PVC’s every other beat after I got off. SO scary and so stressful. My question is – has anyone else experienced this and found the connection with their thyroid even though levels ok? I know they tell be its completely benign – but its affecting my life so much I just got Ativan today at Dr and I HATE taking meds. Anyway – My TSH levels have been on the lower side of normal (they always are) at about .45-.80 and I test now every couple months. I retested today so waiting for those. All T3 & T4 are within normal each time as well.
I hope this stress of the PVC’s doesnt bring my GD Back.
