I have been hypothyroid for two months my endocrine said might be silent thyroiditis couple of days pulse has been 68 bpm more resently when i wake up it's around 85bpm and sometimes in the afternoon 95bpm, could this be an anxiety issue or could I be getting hyperthyroid symptoms again and what is a normal hypo pulse?

Newpatient, it really depends on your "normal" heart rate before you had thyroid problems. For example, my normal when my thyroid is balanced is about 58-65. When I was extremely hyperthyroid it was 120, when I was extremely hypothyroid it was in the high 40's. My "normal" pulse freaks out nurses who don't know me.

Increase in thyroxine in your system will increase your heart rate; so will anxiety. Try to sit quietly and breathe deeply for a few minutes before taking your pulse. And be aware of other hyperthyroid symptoms if you experience them.

So Leothyoxime medication should help resolve some hypo symptoms and should I stay away from sleep medication like seroquel if not started Thryroid replacement?
