Does palpitation, itchy eyes, headache, forehead/chest pain indicate hashimoto s?
Patient: Hi my tsh is also 0,016 and ft3 ,ft4 in range, but my doctor said i have hoshimoto. I have some symtoms like palpitation, itchy eyes,headache or actually forehead pain,sharp pain in my chest:( its really hashimoto? i spend to much money for my health :/ i forgot - is one important thing- i use to take Roaccutane for acne,and after finished my treatment i start have all these problems...is is thyroid problem..or something more serious? Doctor: Hello,  generally hoshimoto present as hypothyroidism,  which means your thyroid is working on lower side,  but here the Tsh should be high ) normal Cleveland in most lab - till 5.  Now your Tsh is very low,  it means you have hyperthyroidism from any cause,  which fits with your symptoms of palpitations And other s. Some tests to confirm hoshimoto is s anti tpo, anti thyroglobulin and anti microsomal antibodies.  Any one of these  three are positive in most of the cases of hashimoto .  Roaccutane can cause autoimmune hypothyroidism, ie.  Hashimoto. You should stop it immediately if proven as the cause. Also some symptoms may be due to roaccutane.  Hopefully I could bring some insight.  For any future assistance, you may upload tests and clarify @ Http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-priyank-mody/70273.  Regards Dr Mody
