Thyroid gland problems....?urgent ! please ,only serious answers.?!


Question: after 3 months of so many problems and symptoms that made hell of my dayly life, all the blood results were almost perfect.
except, only one element for the thyroid gland (normal is from 1 to 5 , and mine was 9,8 ) ...so i am waiting to see a specialist and get an ultrasound and check the tests all over again.
my symptoms are really terrible: from being anxious at times, variations of blood pressure, tachicardia at times,almost all the time chest pain and bronho spasms,tremor,redness of the skin that migrates from one spot to another,some problems with eyes,and many other stuff...

and one special thing : i am feeling sexual arousal as one of the symptoms as well .(and trust me ,its not feeling good to be "on the edge" almost all day ,for so many days. not pleasant at all).
but i am not sure that this particular change in libido can be really related to the thyroid . if you know for sure to tell me can that symptom can be related to hyperthyroid ,please let me know by your answer.

This is the best I could find
HyperthyroidismFont SizeA A A Symptoms
You may have hyperthyroidism if you:

Feel nervous, moody, weak, or tired.
Have hand tremors; have a fast or irregular heartbeat; or have trouble breathing, even when you are resting.
Sweat a lot, and have warm, red skin that may be itchy.
Have frequent and sometimes loose bowel movements.
Have fine, soft hair that is falling out.
Lose weight even though you are eating normally or more than usual.
In addition, some women have irregular menstrual cycles or stop having periods altogether, and some men may develop enlarged breasts.

The symptoms of hyperthyroidism are not the same for everyone. Your symptoms will depend on how much hormone your thyroid gland is making, how long you have had the condition, and your age. If you are older, it's easy to mistakenly dismiss your symptoms as normal signs of aging.

Specific symptoms of Graves' disease
People with Graves' disease often have additional symptoms, including:

Goiter, which is an enlarged, painless, soft thyroid.
Thickened nails that lift off the nail beds.
Myxedema, which is lumpy, reddish, thick skin on the front of the shins and sometimes on top of the feet.
Clubbing (fingers with wide tips).
Graves' ophthalmopathy, which causes bulging, reddened eyes, among other symptoms.
Complications
Graves' ophthalmopathy is a frequent complication of hyperthyroidism. It can develop before, after, or at the same time as your symptoms of hyperthyroidism. People with Graves' ophthalmopathy develop eye problems, including bulging, reddened eyes, sensitivity to light, and blurring or double vision. People who smoke are more likely to develop Graves' ophthalmopathy.

If you have Graves' ophthalmopathy, it may temporarily get worse if you have radioactive iodine treatment. On the other hand, it may get better if you take antithyroid medication.

If you do not treat your hyperthyroidism, you may:

Lose weight because your body's metabolism is faster.
Have heart problems such as rapid heart rate, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure.
Have trouble replacing calcium and other minerals in your bones, which can lead to osteoporosis.
In rare cases, hyperthyroidism can cause a life-threatening condition called thyroid storm, which develops when the thyroid gland releases large amounts of thyroid hormones in a short period of time. Thyroid storm usually happens after you have had a serious infection or you have had a lot of stress in your life.

I read that the test ratings have changed, that it should be 1-3.5, so yours is high. There are a lot of websites for symtoms of thyroid problems. Do a search and you'll find plenty of them. Also a person with hypothyroidism can have the anxiety attacks as well as hyperthyroidism.

The result you give sounds like the TSH. Your TSH indicates that you are hypothyroid (undersctive thyroid) A TSH over 2.0 shows that the gland has slowed down. AACE recommends treatment at a TSH over 3.0, while labs likw Quest are still going by outdated standards.

Your symptoms suggest hyperthyroid. You either have Hashi's or you are mistaken by the test numbers and are hyperthyroid. At the end of your question, you state hyperthyroid, so its really confusing replying when you give a number of 9.8 which looks like a TSH result.

As far as your sexual symptom.......hypothyroid causes decreased sex drive, so its possible hyperthyroidism could cause the opposite. Have you had your testosterone levels done. Perhaps you have higher than normal levels of testosterone.

Thyroid problems are very common among women with 1 in 10 women having an affected thyroid gland. In men that number drops to 1 in 100 - making them ten times less likley to get it - I guess I must be one of the lucky ones then.

I know that it can affect many things in the body and indeed know one woman who was hospitalised. However, once it is diagnosed and treated things soon get back to normal
