How To Ascertain That I Am Free From Illness?
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease approx 1 year ago. I started having chest pain & was given a echo, that was normal, & a stress test that showed the EKG that was abnormal toward the end & for the first few minutes afterward. The doc did an angiogram (assuming that I had blockage) & I didn't have any blockage at all. Should I assume all is well?

Please change your diet and lifestyle .
What medication are you taking is it T4 or t3
T4 is not the active harmone
First you should get a proper diagnosis of hypothyroidism
You have to do all 6 tests which is never done even by specialist doctors
Do
TSH ,
FREE T4
FREE T3 ,
REVERSE T3 ,
REVERSE T4
TPO and TG antibody titre before starting any medication for Hypothyroidism .
Do also a ULTRASOUND OF YOUR THYROID
T4 is not the active hormone
T3 is the active hormone
T4 has to get converted to T3 which requires adequate stores of
Iodine , Iron , zinc , B12 and Selenium
dont use any fluoride toothaste .It will displace Iodine needed for making thyroid hormones
otherwise T4 or eltroxin will not work
do the right tests and go to the right doctor to get the right treatment
