I had to do the rai to not be hyper anymore. I was unwilling to risk liver damage with the drugs I was on. Get a good doctor and research what the best option is for you.
The heart palps can be serious depending on how high your heartbeat is and if it becomes irregular or not.

Hi! Unfortunately, welcome to our community.
You will find it a very supportive place. I have been involved only a few months and have found a lot of answers and reassurance!
Are you on a beta blocker yet? (inderal, or propranolol are two names for the same drug that is what is usually used. there are others)
The beta blocker will control the heart symptoms and helps with anxiety for some folks. It helps immediately and will work while getting started on the antithyroid drugs or seeking other treatment. It was a godsend for me. I am still on it while I am seeing what dose methimazole I need.
I hope this helps. Keep asking questions!

Hello..and welcome...but I am sorry that you are now part of this community. Heart palps are just part of it..get them checked out if you are concerned.Try and reduce any stress levels to the minimum, rest as much as you can,,you have to be self indulgent to cope with this. You are not alone. You can always get support from here...I will give you my email if you wish. The symptoms are always different for each person..but I may have been through most...take care of yourself, get plenty of vitamins..especially B vitamins..and rest. Good luck.

I hate heart palps too, I noticed I've been getting them a lot more now for the past month or so.

I am on Inderal 5mg for heart palps..it really scares me when my heart skips beats. Ask your doc about treatment and you will be ok :)

I am new to this board as well. I was told I had greaves a year ago. I still have heart palps. At the start they put me on meds for it and didn't have them for a long time time several month now they are back. From what I get you will have them off and on depending on your levels. Talk to your dr and get as much information as possible. I just finished reading "living well with graves" and I can say I understand a lot more maybe not all but a lot more.

good luck

Yes, the heart palps can lead to serious problems if untreated. I would talk to your doctor about getting on a betta blocker. I take Atenolol and its helped me so much. Kerry, is absolutely right about finding a "GOOD DOCTOR and RESEARCHING" If you have any question, we are here.
