possible Graves disease symptoms
I generaly eat healthy (low carb diet) and occasionally (once or twice per month) I would have a dinner as a cheat meal. I have been going to gym for almost 14 years. I never had issues before, but in January, after each cheat meal I had increased heart rate, night sweating and insomnia. It resolved always the next day and it went back to normal. In march, the same thing happened again, but this time the issues did not resolve and it has been like this for almost 2 months now:
- My resting heart rate rose from 60 to 75/80,
- I started losing muscle mass, although my weight stayed the same
- I had severe insomnia, which luckily resolved in about 3 weeks
- I experience anxiety
- I sweat more and I have some heat intolerance
During these 2 months I did countless examinations. Thyroid ultrasound was clear, antibodies not elevated, hormones and TSH withing range.
TSH: 1,56; fT4: 14,28; fT3: 4,52; anti Tg: 1,18; anti TPO: 0,39 (24. 10. 2024)
-----up to this point, I had no symptoms------
TSH: 0,804; fT4: 14,83; fT3: 3,75 (30. 3. 2026)
TSI: <0.1 (<0.5) (20.4.2026)
TSH: 1,3; fT4: 14.27, fT3: 4.87 (20.4. 2026)...TSh actually started going up
----I plan to do another thyroid panel soon----
So after two months, my symptoms are:
- gradual muscle loss, even though my weight is staying the same, but I see that muscles are slowly fading. I also notice regeneration after workouts is not good. I have some DOMS almost after each workout. My strenght also dropped a bit.
- still increased resting HR (around 75-80)
- anxiety
- occasioanl fatigue and tiredness
- wierd metabolism
- last few days also frequent need to urinate
All the doctors I have been to say this is all probably just stress, but I am not really convinced. So I have no medicine or support, basically nothing to help myself and no guidelines.
Any advice would be appreciated
