Well I am really having a difficult time at the moment. I have been feeling extremely unwell for a few weeks now. My whole body aches, I’m having heart palpitations, dizziness and Iv fainted twice. Iv been trying to get a doctors appointment for over a week but it’s difficult right now with the covid situation.
I finally got to speak to the doctor and she said it sounds like I am having a hyperthyroidism relapse. Off to the hospital that same day for blood tests I went.
The following day the doctor called with my results and as suspected I am having a hyperthyroidism relapse. She asked me to go in for an ECG. It was concluded that I have a very fast heart rate and she diagnosed me with atrial fibrillation. She gave me a prescription for carbimazole and beta blockers. She also said she’d urgently refer me to the endocrinologist and cardiologist so I’ll be seeing them both within two weeks.
Fast forward to today, three days since getting the new diagnosis and my period has arrived. So not only am I in bed in agony but I am also too dizzy to stand up and feel like my heart is going to push it’s way out of my chest any moment. I really am being tested right now.
So todays daily medication consisted of tramadol, feminax, transanemic acid, mefanamic acid, carbimazole, sertraline and propranolol. Say hello to my new pill organiser 😀
