Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I have gone carefully through you query and understand your concern regarding to your husband's health. The low heart rate and the fatigue he has actually may be related to under active thyroid, but it should be severe and untreated to cause such a general situation.

I would recommend to send him to E.R and exclude other cardiac pathologies that cause low heart rate. If everything is normal than wait until 4 weeks for the dose adjustment to improve the symptoms.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mirjeta Guni
