After another reduction in my meds to .88 of Levoxyl, the last 3 days have been filled with repeat palpitations. They're not as strong as they were pre-medication, but they are coming again. The strange thing is that it seems they last longer... as long as 10 minutes in some cases.
So I called the doctor and the nurse called me back. Evidently I am now HYPERthyroid, instead of HypOthyroid. She said some palpitations would be expected while my body gets used to the reduced medication.
What a balancing act this is!
I did get my first accupuncture treatment yesterday. It will take several before it makes a difference. I'm thinking I need to hold off on another until I know what's going on.
I too have overtime began to reject my Levothyroxine. I had heart palpitations and thought I was having a heart attack all the time. I don't even take meds now. My joints are getting sore, so I am getting tested to see where I am with my thyroid. I know I cannot take Levothyroxine, even a crumb makes me feel palpitations. Maybe you have rejected your meds also.
