i had an overactive thyroid at one time, do you know if you can have symptoms forever even though once the thyroid is straightened out. like the palpitations and stuff. i was on inderal la at one time for the palpitations i have stopped taking the inderal ages ago but yet i get the palpitations. yet it could be from the nicotine patches i am using to stop smoking. too i have fibromyalgia and medication i take for that i guess might give me palpitations i really don't know. so what i am asking can you have the effects of an overactive thyroid for years on end afterwards even when the thyroid is fine.
sincere thanks

Hi Trish,


This is only my opinion but I think your symptoms can continue even though you might have "normal" test figures.
