Wait not right. When I raised my TSH arrhythmias went away. I get confused with TSH and thyroid hormones T4 and T3. However I have noted that TSH level doesn’t sem to affect T3 and T4 that much if at all - confusing. Anyway for me low TSH= more arrhythmias. So I’m trying to keep TSH around 5.

@chickenfarmer right mine used to sit at five and I was considered borderline hypo slow thyroid and then I’ve been on the thyroid medicine for so long. It’s down to a one which is closer to hyper and now I’m having all this going on so I don’t know what to do. The doctor said oh that’s a great number, but I’m like I can’t live with the PVCs like this.

@chickenfarmer You are confused by the terms and are confusing others trying to make sense of what you are saying. As I replied about six posts up, hypo means low, hyper means high, and in the case of thyroidism, the low means low production of TSH and hyper means too much of the hormone is produced and therefore the gland is hyperactive.
