I go to the doctor tomorrow for my hyperactive thyroid and they are going to see if that is what is causing my heart to race, make me dizzy, etc...If it is not related to my heart..then i will need a pacemaker put in and i am only 35 yrs old

Thyroid problems with women your age are very common and usually not serious. It is a good idea to have a Physician look into this. The most serious, but seldom problem is cancer. The thyroid can cause you to be unbalanced, fatigues and seem sick when you really are not. It is usually best treated by medication and sometimes a shot directly into the thyroid.
As for your heart.... I hate to say this, but it is probably anxiety/panic attacks, which are common in people your age, and treated with medication. But, the best treatment is diet and exercise, the meds can cause you to have a don't care attitude. The low pulse can be caused by the thyroid. Get it treated, and you will be fine.
Don't worry, it is common and not threatening.
Absolutely...the thyroid can make you feel like you're having a heart attack and/or dying...
i'm not sure why the thyroid would cause all that. The thyroid gland is an endocrine that controls carbohydrate levels in the body. Having an abnormal amount of carbohydrates may cause dizziness, but i don't know about abnormal heartbeat. I wish the very best of luck and hope things don't get too serious :-(
one sentence you say you have a heart rate of 44, very slow, then you say your heart is racing.... which is it?
If it is not related to your heart, you will need a pacemaker?
Honey you aren't making much sense, suspect you are overly worried about things that can be dealth with by the doctors.
So what if it is heart related and you may need a pacemaker? I've cared for children that had to have pacemakers and they live a normal life, no reason you shouldn't. And yes, hyperthyroidism can indeed cause some of the symptoms you describe. Best advice? Relax! Let the doctors find out what is going on before you jump to conclusions and assumptions. ONE DAY A TIME.
Here is a quote from a site about hyperthyroidism.
I see a number of patients with hyperthyroidism. Very frequently, their symptoms involve the heart. The most common symptoms are a feeling of palpitations and a sensation of a racing heart beat. These symptoms are due to a physiologic effect of thyroid hormone on the heart. I thought I'd take a moment to explain more about what impact thyroid hormone can have on the heart and why these symptoms result.

Good Luck
I would have to say yes that having a hyperactive thyroid would make you dizzy, and one minute you would have heart palpitations and the next a really slow heart beat. It would also affect your eyesight, weight, maybe your hands would tremble - there are so many symptons. Then again it could just be anxiety causing these problems. Either way please do get it checked out - you shouldn't need a pacemaker but maybe tablets. An overactive thyroid is very serious if left un treated. It's better you are tested and found negative than leave it too long. Good luck - let us know how you get on.
