Hi Everyone,
My wife is 3 months post partum and finally went to the doc bc she was complaining about a racing heartbeat, and measured fluctuations in blood pressure.
When she went to see her primary care they did some blood pressure tests and did blood work, and leaving the office he said she has POTS.
Her labs came back yesterday for her thyroid with her TSH almost undetectable low and T3 out of range with T4 on the high end:
TSH- .007 normal range 0.27-4.2
Thyroxine Free- 2.08 normal range .78-2.19
Free T3- 4.6 normal range 1.6-3.9
Her PCP wants to refer her over to an endocrinologist, but wants her to start on beta blockers immediately, and our concern is with breastfeeding, but at the same time she feels terrible with a pulse that will jump into the 130s whenever she stands up and goes through being hot and cold all day. Anyone with any help or suggestions on what we could do?
