Hi Elaine,
To recap, I was diagnosed with graves in 2001 and have been on and off medication since, I went into a remission for a few years and came back onto medication April 2009, started taking PTU arounf June when I got pregnant. I had a baby in March,2010, I have since continued on PTU to breastfeed( I have been on 50mg od ptu once daily since the beginning of the pregnancy.) This past week though I had to go to the hospital following an rapid heart palpitations and high blood pressure. While there I was told my labs were all coming back normal for my thyroid. However my triponin levels were slightly elevated which led them to believe I might be having a heart attack. However when they did all the follow up they found my heart to be fine. I was given an x-ray, ekg, ultrasound of the heart, and cvt angiogram and cardiac stress test. All normal. I was also given ultrasound of the vascular system to check for clots. All came back normal. While there I was given metropolol to lower my blood pressure and heart rate. However since leaving I ve been on no medication other then the ptu and prenatals I usually take. I went to my regular provider and just had more labs. They also came back normal. I think I may be having other hyper symptoms though, like more hunger and weight loss. Any thoughts?
