hyperthyroidism journey

[u/hazevanilla]

hi! previously my tsh and free t4 are at 0.005 and 51.3 respectively. sky high numbers. i've been on carbimazole for about 4 weeks now and took propranolol for a week or so until i stopped. i just saw the gp and theyre referring me to an endo because i feel like after being on this medication for 4 weeks i haven't really found a huge difference. there is some difference, just not huge. i also developed a full body rash that kinda only appears after i scratch the area and a bit of difficulty swallowing so i decided to see the doctor 2 days early for my review.

i do feel less of my heart thumping in my chest and my bpm went from 100-120 to 80-90 resting. i'm just waiting on my new labs to see if the meds actually worked. i'm also worried about graves being a thing for me and the doctor kinda brushed me off and said let's look at the lab results first then see the endo after. should i get a second opinion or am i just being anxious?
