Hi-

I'm hypo and am one month into taking 125mcg of synthroid. Everything has been great, but I lost 9 pounds this week. (gained 30Lbs. in 3 months because of being hypothyroid) Today, 3 hours after taking my usual dose, I am trembling, my heart is pounding (no pain) my cheeks are flushed, I feel like I'm racing/can't sit still & my scalp is tingling like there are bugs in my hair.

Am I going to die????? Seiously, will I be ok, and just call the Dr. tomorrow?? One day of this won't hurt my heart, will it??

Help please.....

Hi daisy4u2007,


I would check with your doctor regarding this reaction.
