Advice:
Thyroid meds and loosing weight.

I take Synthroid for Hypothyroidism and recently the dosage was increased. I take it as soon as I wake up in the morning and have to wait one hr. before I can eat breakfast. Sometimes, I forget and it may be 2 hrs.
So, my question is has anyone noticed a problem taking this medication while trying to loose weight?
The dosage was increased before I lost the 10lbs and now I feel very physically anxious and my pulse is to high. I woke up from a nap this afternoon and felt like my heart was going to pop out. So, I timed my heart rate by 15 seconds x 4 and it was beating up in the 80's.
This is weird, shouldn't it be lower when waking up?
I'm wondering if I'm not eating enough and have some low blood sugar issues. All I know is I feel awful lately. Its like anxiety, palpations and low blood sugar all in one. And, my breathing gets shallow to where I have to force myself to take deep breaths.
Sorry, for such a long thread. I'm thinking I will make myself eat breakfast earlier and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for any advice,
Cindy
