Is Hypothyroidism And Sinus Tachycardia Linked?

Hello, Five months ago I suffered some high blood pressure and bit fatigue, my test results was: -TSH 0.005 , Free T3 3.2, Free T4 1.27, Ab 42.6, Anti TPO 150 - Neck Altra sound : thyroid glands size ok, all normal except increased vascularity allover thyroid gland parenchyma - All test results was fine, CBC, alt, ast, sodium, potassium. MR brain ok. I treated my sinus , teeth route canal(as I read it could be related to TPO) , done regular exercise and I was fine till now with no blood pressure and good health. Just this week felt little bit fatigue and slight throat discomfort, I though its better to make a new test and exams, outcome was : -TSH 0.005, free T3 4.41, free T4 1.38. Ab 99, Anti TPO 297 -TC99m PERTECHNETATE Thyroid scan : Thyroid uptake 6.2%, Thyroid with no substernal activity seen, intense and uniform radio tracer uptake is visualized allover the gland with no sizable intra-thyroidal focal lesions should be seen, the extra thyroidal background activity and salivary glands uptake are diminished due to increased avidity of thyroid gland for the tracer. - Throat Sputum exam : Gram positive cocci,, puss cells moderate , culture : mixed growth staph aureus and strept pyogen  I have taken Antibiotic Averozolid Questions if you please : 1-     Your opinion. 2-     Do I have Graves disease ? despite haven’t got any of its sever symptoms. 3-     High TPO could be related to throat bacteria ? 4-     Is there is a relation between Sinus and TSH low level? 5-     Can I avoid taking Thyroid medicine ? (I don’t take any regular medication). 6-     Is it possible to try first natural nutrition to lower my T3 ? 7-     Not sure whether iodune food substances are good to lower the T3 or not ? as I read different directions about iodune diet Many thanks for your fine cooperation and apology if I was bit long or specific Regards, Amr Madany

Hello,

I don't have the normal values for that particular lab BUT:

1) the TSH is low that means HYPER, not hypo.
2) if you say any of the other thyroid values are high, then that is HYPER.
3) Anti TPO 150 can't be normal
4) intense can't be normal. These all go with stimulated thyroid and this causes stimulated heart.

Cannot say in your particular case, but generally, that is bad and needs close attention and medication. Perhaps near-fatal starvation can lower thyroid, but even that is far from likely to work and carries serious risks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
