[QUOTE="J.James.A, post: 41329, member: 12327"] Anyone have to adjust dosing of their thyroid meds after starting TRT? Been Hypo for 2 years now(10.10 TSH when found back in 2014), Started on 50 Synthroid, brought it to normal range then they switched me to Armour, after a few weeks Armour elevated my Free T3, gave me bad anxiety and skipped heart beats.I have had them off and on before and when I started to get them more frequently we looked into the thyroid.Well the[B] Armour had my Free T3 at 4.7 (2.0-4.4) above normal high. [/B] Dr. said "there you go, you were right, something was off. Took me off the Armour and put me back on the Synthroid. They subsided when they put me back on Synthroid. Been a roller coaster since. Back in 6/19/2015 my thyroid was off again and we went from 50 to 100 Synthroid. Felt a little better but we found my low T 7/23/15. Back in 9/11/15 Thyroid blood work done and levels were good but I was still gaining weight and was supper sluggish, irate and over all felt blah. Well fast forward to April of this year and I'm on TRT. Feeling good but noticed a few weeks ago my palps where showing up more than usual. My workout routine consists of 45-60 mins on the bowlfex then 15-30 mins on the stationary bike.

Scares the hell out of me. I've been thinking my Thyroid levels might be off cause I was also getting anxiety spells and hair thinning also night sweats but the palps are the ones that had me really confident they where off. I also had fatigue spells even while on TRT. Well I went to the Dr and got blood work done 5/16/16 TSH 1.08 (0.27-4.20) Total T4 10.60 (4.00-11.00) [B]Free T3 4.6 (2.0-4.4) [/B]TPA/TPO 322 (0-34) As you all can see, my Free T3 is where it was at when my heart palps was bothering me back about a year and a half ago.
