There are many hypothyroidism Treatment, the most popular is by taking herbal supplyments that works with your own system to produce the right amount of hormone.

Thyroid remedies do differ with the type of thyroids you are affected with. Due to the change in the food habits, the climatic conditions and the environment people lose their healthy lifestyle, and they now travel towards the unhealthy situations where they hunt to find a cure to new diseases. Thyroidism is one of the major prevailing diseases. It has been estimated that nearly 87.25% of the world’s population is in some problem with their thyroid glands. The ignorance and lack of knowledge about the importance of the thyroid glands have led to such effect.

Food Habits and Thyroidism:

People ignore the advices and try to stick with their favorite food items, which might cause problems in the thyroid gland. The popular junk foods and the creamy ice creams are always attractive to the younger generation and sometimes to the elderly generation too. This attraction is the main cause to the change of food habits and gradually to the sickening of health. There are many types of  remedies available for different types of thyroid problems one faces

Thyroidism:

This condition occurs when one of your hormones miss’s and you lack the functionality given by the missing hormone. Treating the thyroid will involve replacing or restoring the hormone that is missing and allowing the proper functionality of the thyroid gland. There are two types of preparations available to cure this, T4, T3 and T4 is usually used during the initial stages.  T3 is used when the patient is in the advanced stage. The T3 is used to immediately replace the hormone and start gaining the functionality.

Thyroidism generally occurs when the hormones secrete above their normal levels and this might have adverse effects on the body. To control this, there are many remedies available. These remedies will suppress the secretion of the hormones. There are different methods for treating the thyroid like the anti-thyroid drugs, radioactive, and surgical proceedures. For the radioactive remedy, radioactive iodine is used. The surgical method is used rarely, and they remove the parts that secrete excessive hormones.

Cancer in the thyroid glands:

Cancer in the thyroid glands is considered the most serious problems in the thyroid glands. There are three methods to remove these cancer cells from the thyroid glands. One can remove it using surgery or through lymph node dissection. In surgery the cancer-affected cells are alone removed and in the lymph node dissection the affected part is removed.

Autoimmune thyroid disease:

This could be cured by reducing the amounts of antibodies in your body. The thyroid glands secrete the anti-bodies in large amounts and this could be reduced by removing these excessive secretions.

Goiter:

Goiter is the most common form of the problems in the thyroid glands. The thyroid glands get inflamed and this could be controlled at the early stage. If the person has already gone through the inflammation then surgery would be the only help.

I went into the doctor on Friday because I had the heart palpiations plus anxiety plus itchy skin with no rash. The anxiety was what I really couldnt deal with anymore. Here’s pretty much everything I’ve complained of recently:

Heart Palpitations
Anxiety (have had some panic attacks)
Insomnia
Itchy skin w/ no rash
Stomach pain
Having to use the bathroom frequently (no.2, not no.1)

If your blood test revealed "slight" elevation of TSH, I’m very surprised your doctor prescribed you Synthroid. Blood tests offer a range of values deemed normal that’s generally specific for just the lab that’s doing the testing. It’s not a hardfast rule about the range, particularly when it comes to thyroid hormones. Your body’s "normal" may be different from what the laboratory thinks is "normal". Especially as your symptoms were at odds with the lab results, I’m surprised your doctor didn’t want to just observe you and retake the blood test, or search for a better answer for your symptoms. Then again, I don’t really know anything about why you came to her in the first place or what other medical conditions you may have. I can’t really judge over the internet.

But based on what you’ve described: me personally, I wouldn’t take the Synthroid. I’d wait some weeks/months and get my blood retested and then see about the necessity of taking the medication. Is this the first blood test result you’ve gotten back that had any indication of hypothyroidism?

Edit: Interesting. Your current symptoms seem to be a mix of some typically attributed to hyperthyroidism and some to hypothyroidism. It could well be that your anxiety (and palpitations) are completely unrelated to your thyroid function. Things like panic disorder can occur separate to other physical things going on in your body. If the Synthroid helped you before (both TSH levels and palpitations), then I think it’s worth waiting to see if the Synthroid helps this time around, too. Did your doc give you any other medication, like for your anxiety?

Thyrotoxic patients are hot, sweaty, fidgety, have rapid pulse and tend to lose weight.
Hypothyroid patients are cold, have dry skin and hair, are slow, with a slow pulse and tend to gain weight.

This is from Mark Starr, MD’s book Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic.

Dr. [Broda] Barnes believe diabetes was due in large part to hypothyroidism, Dr. Starr wrote (p. 41).

almost all the complications from diabetes are due to hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis. (p. 42)

These complications include blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, gangrene, and nerve damage. (p. 42)

Diabetics suffer accelerated atherosclerosis identical to that associated with hypothyroidism. (p. 42)

new cases of diabetes were very rare among Dr. [Broda] Barnes patients being treated for hypothyroidism. (p. 42)

a significant number of patients with diabetes sought [Dr. Broda Barnes] help. (p. 42)

After many years of practice, [Dr. Barnes] realized that NONE of his patients with diabetes had developed ANY of the typical or more advanced complications from their illness. (p. 42)

This had previously been reported in 1954 by Crosby D. Eaton, MD, but ignored.

Dr. Eaton had written a paper titled Coexistence of Hypothyroidism with Diabetes Mellitus (1954).

The study included several hundred diabetic patients of all ages who were treated for years, Dr. Starr continues (p. 42).

Dr. Eaton realize the vast majority of his diabetic patients also suffered hypothyroidism. (p. 42)

[Dr. Eaton] administered desiccated thyroid hormones with no adverse effects upon their diabetic control. (p. 42)

[Dr. Eaton] reported a vastly reduced incidence of complications related to diabetes as well as the elimination of symptoms associate with hypothyroidism. (p. 42-43)

Dr. Broda Barnes was not the first to report what now seems to be an astonishing revelation.

However, he was the first doctor to back up his report with hard evidence consisting of 70,000 autopsy studies and long-term patient outcome studies.

Dr. Barnes presented his research on the coexistence of diabetes and hypothyroidism at a 1971 American Medical Association meeting.

He also met with prominent doctors

Unfortunately, he found no sympathetic ears, despite the wealth of evidence he had gathered from the autopsies, his own patients, and Dr. Eatons report.

In my opinion, every diabetic patient seen in my practice has suffered hypothyroidism.
