I am very concerned. About 6 months ago my Dr found a hot nodule on my thyroid. I was being treated with PTU and beta blocker, and now I am 9 weeks pregnant. it seems as though the dr's dont know wether or not to keep me on the meds so after reading about them i took myslef off. here is what i have been feeling and mind you i have only been off the meds for about 3 days and have been feeling this way for a couple months. Very lightheaded all the time, pressure in my nose, heart palpitations ( i am very aeare of my heart) sometimes I feel like i need to take a deep breathe, eye floaters, and cant do much without feeling short of breathe. The past couple days I have been very achey, upper back to the sides, and around my belly, sometimes my foot feels hot and i have sporatic pains in my legs. my prenatal blood work came back normal, pulse is normal. what is worng with me?

Hi,
I see that you have a poor accept rate. Since you are online, could you please give some more information:

When were your last thyroid tests done? What was the hormone levels? Normal?

I am available online to help you further after I get this info.

This is why I have poor accpetance rate. All the symptoms I descdribed were before pregnancy and you shunned it of to pregnancy. I went to the doctors and I have chronic sinutits!!!
