is untreated thyroid disease fatal?
When thyroid meds were reduced, I went into deep, deep sleep, woke in great pain in legs and unable to move, or open eyes. Took some time to slowly regain movement. I was in living room and my mother and adult son were there. I didn’t move at all during the 2 1/2 hours I was ‘alseep’ nor did I snore or make any sound. The feeling was like a bad ‘B’ movie where I’d turned to stone. This was on a lower dose of 100mcg. Can this disease cause my heart to slow to point of stopping?
Doseage was reduced by GP who ignored my protests and symptoms. They were first lowered from 150 to 125, and then to 100mcg. I asked to see endricronologist but he raised my dose. He has yet to answer my questions. It feels dangerous to me.
Who decreased your dose? I hope it wasn’t a decision you made on your own.
Definitely call/see your doc asap. There’s a condition called myxedma that’s associated with advanced hypothyroid that is fatal in some cases.
Nothing to fool around with, certainly. Prudence demands a call to the doc.
