In hypothyroidism, symptoms may include slowing of the heart rate, constriction of the
As a result, a malfunctioning thyroid gland
Thyroxine is closely related to cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease, ventricular arrhythmia, atrioventricular block, myocardial systolic
Cardiac amyloidosis, also known as "stiff heart syndrome," is a condition that causes a buildup of abnormal proteins called amyloid in your heart
If bradycardia is caused by a medical illness, there will be additional symptoms that are specific to that illness
For example, the prognosis is usually good in people with hypothyroidism, since treatment with thyroid hormones can relieve Diarrhea: It is known that excessive levothyroxine (synthroid) can cause severe gastrointestinal distress and stomach aches
But your thyroid hormone levels can be sensitive to changes and taking levothyroxine can cause your levels to rise too much
She had additional episodes of symptomatic bradycardia and sinus pause, which were successfully reversed with IV atropine
Most adult hearts beat between 60 to 100 times per minute while at rest
Heat intolerance (not able to stand hot environments) These are the most common negative side effects of taking too much Synthroid and they are usually felt rather quickly and within days of increasing your dose
Causes of thyroid dysfuntions
Hypothyroid patients exhibit multiple physiologic alterations to compensate for the deficiency of thyroid hormone
Causes of bradycardia
As there are only a few reported cases of hyperthyroidism combined with severe bradycardia, large-scale evidence-based research on the disease course and treatment is difficult
Symptomatic AV block requires treatment, and the choice of treatment depends on the cause of the block
If you have bradycardia, your heart beats fewer than 60 times a minute
