I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism a couple of years ago. I realize the thyroid has a significant impact on the heart and can cause heart rhythm issues. My cardiologist has been a real stickler about staying on top of my thyroid levels. I had a 6 month stint where I didn't see him and during that time I had extreme levels of fatigue and could tell it was my thyroid. Per my GP, my thyroid was at 5.3, which on the high end and where he said most folks don't feel well. The result was him increasing my med. Does anyone know what a 'good' level is for someone who has heart valve issues? I realize there are several measurements for the thyroid and I am not sure what I should be looking at.
