hi there:) have you thought about seeing another Dr? or even going back sooner as i had the same thing but it turned out to be Graves diseise. Not a huge deal and my meds are helping heaps but it is a thyroid condition that was triggerd by pregnancy and the symptoms made early motherhood extra tircky. I first noticed when i thought my iron was low or i was becomming depressed because i was so so tired. I also got hot a lot and my eyes felt strained. Also a racing heart.Hopefully if you have a thyroid prob it will be minor (praying you will be sweet as!) but dont be shy to push for answers! blessings

Thanks for your reply.

Funny you say you were hot I am hot all the time, to the point where I am sweating I had no idea where that was coming from, and every now and then I am hot just sitting there. My eyes do feel very strained but have to say been a bit naughty and havent been wearing my glasses. Maybe I might need a 2nd opinion???? What is Graves? I will have to google it.

Again thanks

hi again:) you should definately get checked then-i was always telling hubby to open the windows cos i was sweating and he would be like what? lol. Its an autoammune thing-your body makes too much something which makes your thyroid overact which causes the symptoms. It also sort of gathers behing your eyes. you may have lost weight? it speeds your matabolism with the heart palps-also causing the heat. Im totlaay not expert but you definately need it sorted either way as the heart strain not good. Also i am preg again and being moniterd so it doesnt affect bub. DONT WORRY-seems like a lot but its easy fix:) i googled but its too confusing lol i can tell you that getting the tiredness sorted definately made me feel a bit more on top of things! smile
