What Causes Fatigue And Fast Heart Rate?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...I am 59 years old and generally in good health. I have been diagnosed with an overactive thyroid for the third time, first in 2001 then 2006 and now 2011. This time my symptoms are completely different. I went to my GP thinking my thyroid had become underactive. I am desperately fatigued and constantly cold. I have the tremor and fast heart beat as before but this time my hair is like straw and my skin itches. I have been referred to the Consultant at the hospital and I have been on 20mg Carbimazole for a week. I am confused by the symptoms. Does this happen sometimes? If so - why?

Hello there. I have read through your question and would like to tell you that you are suffering from hyperthyroidism. The symptoms of hyperthyroidism are as follows. 1. Increased sensitivity to heat or cold 2. Palpitations and tachycardia. 3. hair loss 4. weight loss. Since you have been already put on carbimazole it will definitely help to releave your symptoms. its dose has to be increased or decreased according to your t4, t3 and T.S.H levels. You can consult your physician for the same.I would advice you to continue with this medicine for time being. I hope that answers your question.If you have nay further questions please feel free to write.
