Have you eliminated AFIB by normalizing thyroid hormones?

My wife did not get her thyroid levels correct until she had values for T4 and free T3 checked. Until then she was stuck with synthetic thyroid drugs that left her without any energy. She has since used desiccated pig thyroid for the last 30 years. Now she does not have Afib but I bring it up because many people do struggle on synthetic thyroid drugs and have turned to desiccated pig thyroid which has both T4 and free T3. Synthetic thyroid only gives you T4. Our bodies do are supposed to convert some of the T4 to free T3. But many people do not convert the synthetic thyroid hence they are left with low functional levels of thyroid. I wouldn't know if this has any effect on Afib but I am bring it up as an FYI.

Hi
In Sept I had an Embolic Stroke wth rapd and persistent AF. What caused this - on the 4th day in hospital a carotid arteries scan showed a tumour shadow on my thyroid.
Aguing Endocrinologist to wait 6 moths after the stroke, my surgeon carried out my Thyroidectomy in 4 months after biopsy, voice box tests were done and there was a backload of colon cancers held it back in the 3rd month.
I can keep my TSH at 1.3-1.7 by Synthroid 125mg and reducing to 100 3-4 days each month.
I changed to Synthroid as
More reliable
Date of Expiru
Sealed container
Kiddu Lock
Easier to get pills ouy
Condensation pellet inside

My T3 is. boosted to normal by 2 Brazil Nuts daily

My H/Rate rapid nut controlled now with CCB Dilriazem, shows 47avg bpm at night.
I take 120 CD Ditiazem early morning daily only.

Dropped off the Bisoprolol in December - Low BP and dizzy.

My Potassium level dropped to 4.5 now.
