Does Thyroid Storm Cause Palpitations In The Chest?
Hi, My name is Crystal. I was diagnosed with Graves disease years back and given treatment. My Thyroid was radioactively shut down and I was put on Levothyroxine. I currently have not been able to get to my doctor to be prescribed more and it has been 2 months at most. Recently I began to have palpitations in the chest and they have been going for two days. Is it possible it is a thyroid storm if the thyroid is no longer active?
hi... palpitation in chest ,high heart rate , sweating are symptoms of thyroid storm... radioactive treatment suppress thyroid function but it is temporary..so tou have to continue treatment afterwards.. in your case tou stopped it ..thats why you are perciving such symptoms.. so..continue treatment...to avoid it..
