I am 14 weeks pregnant and I have been bed ridden for 8 weeks now. I cannot eat more than a few bites of food at a time and often that comes back up. I feel shakey, nervous, light headed and my heart is pounding all the time. My pulse at rest is about 120bpm. I have lost 11 pounds. I demanded a thyroid test from my midwives after having my first panic attack. My TSH was .01 which is very low. The normal range is 0.35-5.50. I was sent right away to an endocrinologist as my midwives felt alot of my symptoms had to do with this. I also had hyperthyroid in my fist pregnancy and was not treated.I suffered with all these same symptoms for 7 1/2 months.
Long story short, the endocrinologist was not convinced that i have true hyperthyroid at this point. He says the shift in the TSH is not conclusive. My T4 is at he high end of normal and I have a Free T3 pending. He says the T3 will give him more info. He says he is very hesitant to treat me because I am pregnant and he does not feel the meds will really make me feel any better.
I just want to know if anyone has any knowledge or exprience with this subject. I am frusterated and tired of being so sick. I am concerned about my health and my baby's.
