How Can I Control The Hormonal Imbalance?

Hi. I am a 37 yr old female, I had my thryoid radiated 10 yrs ago. I have been a hormonal mess. I have traveled to see many doctors. I feel like a yoyo inside. I recently had a miscarriage. A day after the miscarriage I started to suffer with depression, panic attacks, worst of all heart palpitations. So I asked my ob/gyn to run blood work, which to find out my Potassium was at 3.3 which is low. Magnesium is low. Ferritin is low. Plus my Tsh was high but the Ft4 and Ft3 was normal. So even without a Thyroid Gland my levels have been a Roller Coaster. Also my Progesterone is very low. I am not in the stages of Menopause either. Any suggestions on how to control this Yoyo effect?

Hi,Thanks for consulting at HCM.
Radiation therapy can lead to low thyroid activity,causing increased TSH and weight gain.Placental hormone HCG cross reacts with TSH.Low ferritin indicates iron deficiency anaemia,also associated with it.
You need a review by physician for clinical confirmation of your thyroid status and its symptomatic treatment, antidepressant if you have moderate to severe depression and haematinics to improve your anaemia.You need to repeat TSH and fT4 2 months later to further guide the therapy.
Hope it satisfies you.Get well soon.
