Hard to say because other than thyroid stuff the rest seems like typical yearly tests.
It’s tough to explain because machines used in testing vary from place to place so without the range for normal tough to help.
Your heart skipping beats, going too fast and going into a fib is a symptom from your hyper thyroidism. You could get good symptom relief from that if you got a medication from your doctor for a beta blocker like Atenolol which will reduce your heart rate, control the irregularity and help prevent the atrial fibrillation. this medication could be started immediately since that’s your only major symptom of your excess thyroid hormone and you’d be a lot more comfortable until your upcoming appointment with the endocrinologist. Atenolol can also reduce your blood pressure slightly so as long as your blood pressure is normal and you have a little leeway for it to drop a bit you should be fine. it is well tolerated and works great to control the cardiac symptoms of hyper thyroidism.
To make this simple just throw Graves disease, T3 toxicosis, and hyperthyroidism all in the excess thyroid hormone bucket treated by suppressing thyroid hormone and hypothyroidism in the low thyroid hormone bucket treated by supplementing thyroid hormone. Each bucket produces different. Often opposite symptoms and labs. Hashimotos specifies it as autoimmune.
May I ask if you have thyroid-related heart problem. I need to find a new endocrinologist for this purpose.
Please read up on the B vitamins, some are water soluble and flush out of your system easily, some are not and you can build up toxic levels. Not saying you have this, but it can happen. Taking vitamins and minerals without a doctor monitoring them is a bit risky. Pay your money and take your chances. The human body is super complex and self-diagnosis and treatments can be the source of problems rather than the solution to problems. Talk with your primary doctor and/or your endo about taking vitamins and minerals.
Someone please help. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease by an ultrasound of my thyroid. I had very low TSH levels, and had many of the symptoms. My doctor did nothing. My T4 and T3 and TSH levels last bloodwork should all three were back in range. I have such bad tremors I can’t hardly write hardly write. I’m on meds to control my heart rate, I am hyper most of the day. Hard to relax and sleep. I have many other symptoms and my doctor will not put me on meds because my tests are now normal. My TPO bloodwork was just taken and was clearly abnormal. Still no meds. Why can I have all these symptoms with normal TSH and T3 & 4 shows normal range. I am miserable and need advice. Thank you kindly.
Graves disease and low TSH are indicators for hyperthyroidism. My TSH numbers fluctuate some (hypothyroid), but your treatment is only for your cardiovascular system? Is he/she a PC doctor or specialist? It would be good to consult an endocrinologist to evaluate your conditions and treatments. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/overactive-thyroid-hyperthyroidism/treatment/

My doctor is a NJ endocrinologist. Yes, I am on 180mg of Diltiazem which does control my irregular heart beats. My endocrinologist will not put me on meds because T3&4 and have all gone back to normal. Mt TPO blood test was extremely high and out of normal range. Other symptoms besides the bad tremors are my eye now need drops to take the scratchy feeling away. Do you agree with no meds for myself?
I am not a medical doctor and have no knowledge of your medical history, so can't comment on your meds. However, if your other symptoms are causing you problems then consider checking with another doctor in case something other than or in addition to hyperthyroidism is involved. I imagine he/she considered Hashimoto's, but that is commonly hypo rather than hyperthyroidism. Gel eye drops help some with eye dryness, preferable with minimal preservatives. https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a684027.html https://dryeyeandme.co.uk/eye-drops-vs-eye-gel-for-dry-eyes/#:~:text=What's%20the%20difference%20between%20regular,option%20for%20severe%20Dry%20Eye.
