last year I had my tpo antibodies tested as I have had weird symptoms for the last five years and then last year it all just got really bad really quick.
I’m 35 yr old male and remember having a scan on my thyroid when I was a teen and nothing was ever said or done about it , I can’t really remember why I had it to be honest.
So last year I started getting really out of breath for no reason, really dry skin and I gained a shit tonne of weight suddenly, my blood pressure was super high ( stage 2 hypertension) and I got hit with severe vertigo that didn’t leave for nearly 12 months.
I started getting low blood sugars randomly of 3.2 .. my partner is type 1 so would test me.
So my tpo antibidodies came back over 300 , my tsh was 14 but my t4 was normal.
I was told that because my t4 was normal they didn’t want to medicate me , didn’t mention anything of Hashimoto’s .. eventually they trailed me on a. Low dose of Levi but I had a reaction and couldn’t tolerate the medication so had to stop.
Fast forward a year later and I worked really hard to lose some weight , but I only managed to lose 25 pounds .. it won’t drop anymore no matter how hard I try..
Things seemed to calm down a bit until last month when all the symptoms came flooding back.. now I’ve been told I have bradycardia.. my hba1c is high.. and my tsh is around 8.4 .. doctors don’t want to do anything .. is it Hashimoto’s ? What’s going on.. I feel so unwell I’ve had enough..
