I've diagnosed with Hashimoto disease since last november. I'm not taking any hormones since I do have normal rates of T3, T4 ...I got two big indoor plants at my bedroom ( palms) since october. I live in NYC and we sleep with the windows close since is winter. Since these plants were put in my bedroom I had to go to the emergency room 4 times, with my blood pressure rollocoasting from 96/57(morning) to 175/111(night) for instance in one day. I also stay home most of the time in my bedroom with these two plants and the heater on.
My thyroid exams are fine when I was at the hospital , the doctors said, the Anti-Peroxidase is the only thing that is high, 387 now ( Hashimoto),
but I've been wondering if my symptoms (heart almost stopping, or the feeling of it,low blood pressure, orthopnea at night, cannot breath, tightness in the chest,heart racing, fullness in the head, and lately weakness and vertigo) was not "also" related to the
CO2 I've been breathing at night (crisis was always starting at nightime) since the
Photosynthesis occurs at night, right?
I just had this "click", was something that I've learned back in school when I was a child, that we should not sleep with plants in close doors, because they steal our oxigen, and literally my feeling was of being poisoned...
I know that people with normal thyroids maybe
will not feel the same and not have these symptoms, my boyfriend was in the same house and did not had any crisis, although we Hashs are more vulnerable to this condition, I think.
The question is: does anybody think that my theory can be true??
Other questions: If not, what can be causing these symtpoms??
Since July/2005 I did a few toxic things to my body, unfortunatelly, withouth knowing that I had Hashimoto disease:
1 - BOTOX (doctor said the effect was over within 06 months - and then, when the toxines goes??)
2 - Many Xrays (including full mouth for orthodontic purpose).
3 - Drinking alcohol everyday (4 drinks)
4 - Serious gastro intestinal virus in July/2005
5 - 01 very strong Cold
6 - Many Yeast and Urinary infections
7 - Took a lot of antibiotics because of these infections
8 - I have 15 metal restaurations in my mouth(mercury)since I'm a child.
9 - Hoodia Gordonii ( appetite suppressant - acts at the hipotalamus )
Are these accumulatrion of bad things also a culprit for my symptoms???
I was having this crisis before at my PMS, after a night of drinking alcohol or any other excess, but lately is for no reason at all.
I personally will know in a few days, if crisis does not start again, since the plants now are out of here.
Here are my lab exam at Dec/24 visit to the ER.
The doctors there said that all other rates at my blood test, urine, lung XRay were fine.
THYROID STIMULATING - 2.78 (O.38-5.50 mU/L)
T3 - 170 (60-18 ng/dL)
THYROXINE - 8.7 (5.7-11.4 ug/dL)
T3 Uptake - 31 (22-37%)
aPTT - 29.8 (23.0-35.0 sec)
Glucose - 90 (90-99 mg/dL)
Urea Nitrogen - 10 (5-19 mg/dL)
Creatinine - 0.8 (0.8-1.1 mg/dL)
Calcium - 10.2 (8.6-10.0 mg/dL)
Sodium - 142 (135-145 mmoL/L)

Chloride - 109 (97-107 mmoL/L)
CO2 - 25 (22-33 mmoL/L)
