What effect does hyper-thyroidisum have on the heart without treatment?

Question:

I have hyper-thyroidisum and my heart is in a very weak state right now. I have been almost 4 weeks without treatment and have been in the ER 4 times last week. As of Friday I have been on a bata blocker 3 times a day and tapazole twice a day. However my heart seems more weak today than it has in a few days. I also have had a sharp pain in my chest and light headedness. I called the doctor on call about 30 mins ago and she told me to cut my bata blocker in half and take a half in the morning and the other at night. Thats cutting my dose drasticlly. Going from 3 pills daily to 1 pill daily concerns me, exspecially when she is not my doctor. What should I do?

Answers:
Follow your doctor's orders and inform them ANYTIME something goes wrong! That's the best way to go. But left untreated, it can do alot of damage. Too much treatment can do damage too, though, so follow the orders. They know best. (usually)

Well it causes tachycardia, which means it causes your heart to beat very quickly.
I have heard in most cases, you should ahve your thyroid gland removed and take synthroid for life.
I am not a doctor or nurse, but I have taken medical classes and have heard various people's problems throughout my life.
You probably should get a second opinion from a different clinic, if your regular doctor is not addressing this.

are you on thyroid medication? I would follow your doctors orders, but if the pain gets worse, I would call again and let him know.
