I am freezing, but my heart is racing ?
Hello,
I am new to this board. I am glad I found you!
Background:There has been four generations of thyroid disease in my family. I have psoriatic arthritis, sjogrens, raynaulds. In the past my tests have been in the "normal" range. A few months ago I began having all these weird syptoms. Unbelievable heart palpitations, racing heart rate, my skin looks so old and wrinkled on my hands and arms. My skin is so dry. My voice is hoarse. I have So many hypo symptoms. I am not experiencing weight gain right now. (A hypo symptom) I am having palpitations and racing heart. ( hyper symptom) I am absolutley freezing! I take my temperature and it is between 96.7- 97.7. I just took lab tests. (TSH, T4, T3, FSH, LH, Serum cortisol and TPO)
My question is, can I have hyper and hypo symptoms at the same time ? Also, my WBC is in the middle range. Can the WBC also tell you if something is going on with your throid?
If I were given thyroid medication, would it speed up my metabolism more and cause my heat to race even more?
Thank you.
So Cold
