I was feeling dizzy and living in a fog. I had loose stools, headache, weak muscles and heart palpitations. I was starving all the time and craved sweets, then the hallucinations started. My levels kept going up and down I was in the hospital for nine days.

I experienced dizziness, and near fainting. Later at home my blood pressure dropped and I started to vomit and had diarrhea. Afterward, I blacked out for the third time, and I finally went to the emergency and was admitted to the hospital for three days.

I had rapid heart rate, heat intolerance, difficulty breathing, anxiety, depression, sever tremors, confusion, irregular heartbeats, chest pain.

After being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, my doctor put me on a thyroid medication. I thought I was fine. However, at work I started to feel hypersensitive to heat and then developed pain all over my body. I left work early, went home, took a hot bath and ibuprofen and slept. Next morning I was off to work, feeling better but at some point over exerted myself and became hot, sweaty and began vomiting. Within 24 hours, I was in an emergency room with fever, chills, body aches. Fortunately, the OR Dr. listened to my symptoms and quickly diagnosed my thyroid storm. After discovering that I had this Grave's disease, I realized that it had started at least six months before it became bad enough for me to get professional help. If there is any reason to believe that your symptoms may relate to this disease. Ask for a simple blood test to find out. It might just save your life.

A young woman friend died from thyroid storm recently and left shocked family and friends. The symptoms seem like so many other things like influenza or other infections.

With my thyroid storm, I had extreme anxiety, anger, and confusion. I was suffering from rapid breathing, and a feeling like I was burning up. Also, my legs were heavy.
