lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details given. Hyperthyroidism is treated with carbimazole or other anti-thyroid drugs. Usually these drugs are given for a period of 18 to 24 months. In quite a few cases thyroid function returns to normal during this period or even earlier. When that happens, anti-thyroid drugs (carbimazole) are discontinued. Again in quite a few patients there is no further hyperthyroidism seen. However, if symptoms return or if again tsh goes...more

Dear this itchy patches may be because of some fungal infection. You can try applying candid cream twice a day and apply some talcum powder to keep the area dry. If it does not help, then you hv to visit the doctor personally.

This is little tricky. If you want to opt for radio active iodine treatment, then you need to wait for 6- 12 months post treatment to plan a child. Also, you have to make sure, that preconception TSH of your wife is normal before planning a child. Or else you can opt for surgery to remove Thyroid gland partly or fully as the case may be & replace the Thyroid dose of required & plan your family.

Doing repeated mtps will affect your future pregnancy and you might face problems in conceiving. So better use regular contraception like condoms if not planning for pregnancy at present.

I am very sorry to hear what you're going through.
Hyperthyroidism can cause you a range of bizarre symptoms and you could be anxious and depressed at the same time.
Given the history of palpitations you need to take an ecg and do a cardiology consultation as soon as you can. Heart normally beats in a regular fashion. But if it becomes excited it can start beating in a very fast way and the regular pattern could shift to an irregular pattern. Excess thyroid hormone levels could cause you...more
