Started taking Coversyl 2mg. one month ago and started having frequent heart palpitations, especially at night. I am  also on Apo-Hydro 12.5 mg, Synthroid 75 mcg. As a result of the palpitations my sleep is now extremely poor, so poor that the doctor put me on Apo-Trazodone 50mg. The latter prescription did not help with the sleep loss, only made me feel somewhat stoned. I have elevated cholesterol, maybe due to genetics or hypothyroidism , definitely not my diet.
Hi & Welcome. I appreciate your concern for the heart palpitations while taking Covers. After having gone through your problem described in your query it seems to me that the heart palpitations and lack of sleep could be due to high dose of Syn thyroid. The dosage of Syn thyroid should be adjusted in such a way that the TSH level should be in the range of 0.4 - 4 as long as you take Syn thyroid for hypothyroidism. I therefore advise you to consult your treating physician to check the efficacy of Syn thyroid by doing thyroid function tests like TSH and to take treatment for high Cholesterol in the form of Statin medicine. The prescribed medications Covers, Apathy Chat Doctor. Hope I could answer your query. A feedback is appreciated.
