Hypothyroidism
Hello. I have a history of Hypothyroidism. I'm also a medical student. I've read that hypothyroidism may lead to Atrial Fibrillation and Dilated Cardiomyopathy in the future. Now I'm suffering from terrible anxiety. Day and night i'm scared that I'll develop these nasty conditions. I can't sleep. I'm losing my appetite. My heart rate is constantly high because i'm always anxious. Please help me. Life has become really difficult. I don't think I can live like this.
