[QUOTE="shop, post: 308504, member: 42992"] Sanobar, Also wanted to mention that during my treatment and investigations I had to get a second opinion from another GP. I had been referred to the Endo and was waiting for a follow up appt. When I aproached 1 GP he suggested that I go for counselling as I was obviously stressed!!! My friend pursuaded me to see another Dr who took my pulse straight away and said that if he had been walking around with a pulse of 125+ for the past month he would feel tired and tearful. At that stage I was on betta blockers not yet on Carbimazole ( the drug with is used to treat an overactive thyroid. ) He gave me a different type of betta blocker ( one that covered the whole day.) until I saw my Endo, this made a difference to my pulse and helped alot. I then went on to carbimazole. What I am trying to say is if you feel your not being listened to, see another DR. All the first Dr had to do was take my pulse and he would have seen why I was feeling so lousy! Lucy. [/QUOTE]
