Re: So, my doctor keeps suggesting that basically it is all in my head.

I know that I would be feeling many hypo symptoms with a TSH of 3.3. I know my endo uses 3 as the uppermost normal TSH level, so based on that you would be considered hypothyroid.

I would push...

Re: Tsh level .01

If you're having a very high heart rate you should ask your doctor for a beta blocker to slow it down until you get everything sorted out.

Re: Anyone have this in their PND

I also experience this in the winter because of the dryness.

Ponaris nasal oil helps with the dryness, but I still get blood tinged postnasal drip from time to time.
