Linda,
Iam wondering the same thing myself. Being 13 weeks post RAI I am looking for any signs that I might be going hypo. My legs are starting to get terrible cramps and weakness in my arms. I also have some signs of being hyper like heart palps, not being able to sleep, nervousness, anxiety etc. Maybe someone who has already been through this can answer, I sure could use the input also.
I also found a really good site with detailed hypo symptoms, and heart palps was one of them. If you would like the URL let me know.

Take care,
Norma

Thank you norma & dianne,
The trouble is that the GP I see thinks that once I’ve had 1 euthyroid reading then once every 3 months is fine. The last endo I saw refused to see me again. So for me to get anything more than a subjective estimate of my T4 & 3 levels I will have to travel about 100 miles or try to find a new GP. I live in a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, England.

So please, If anyone can give some input as to whether I am hypo or hyper: Most mornings lately I feel restless have palpitations, and my hands shake, So I kept upping the PTU to 450 / D which makes no difference. Lately I have been taking temazapam in the morning. My temperature is low at 97.4

Hi Linda
Restlessness, palpitations and tremor are all hyper problems, but severely hypo people can have similar symptoms.

A low temperature doesn’t necessarily mean you are hypo – I have a low temperature and I am definitely hyper.

When did you have your last blood test, and what were your results then? What is your heart rate (beats per minute)?
