Hi everyone,
My heartrate is still fluctuating, but it doesn’t seem to last very long when it is up. I think it probably is my thyroid because it does it when I am laying down or sitting doing nothing. I feel better today, I only had a couple of times in the last couple of days that I felt a little nauseated, however, that could have been from my reflux and not have anything to do with the RAI. My throat has felt a bit weird, kind of scratchy feeling, like I need to cough. What is worrying me today has nothing to do with my thyroid…or I can’t imagine how it would….I have a very tender "touchy" area on my right side about 2-3 inches above my pelvic bone, it is kind of hard to describe and tell exactly where it is located, or what "part" of my body is in that spot. I would think that since it has been hurting since last night, that it wouldn’t be appendix because that usually gets worse over time and this has stayed about the same or just gotten slightly worse. I suppose it could be kidney/bladder problems…do you think that radiation leaving your body through your urine could cause something like this to happen? I sometimes wish I had gone to medical school just so I could figure out my own problems ” title=”Smile” />

I take Metoprolol 2x a day 50mg each. My cardiologist is not thrilled with increasing it any because it lowers my BP so much. It really helps my heartrate though. I worry that my heartrate will get too high, but they won’t be able to increase the Metoprolol because of my BP. When that happened in Aug. they put me on the Methimazole, which combined with the Metoprolol was keeping HR down. Now since I’ve had RAI, I don’t know if Methimazole would be an option. I don’t know if you can do both at the same time. This afternoon my HR has gone down some, so maybe it will just fluctuate a little. Thanks!

Thanks ewmb…I am a little scared that my heartrate is going to get really high again, like it did when I had to go in the hospital. Best wishes for your recovery!!
