[|Human|] I am concern about my TSH level. I am a diabetic and my level has always been very low. Last year it was 0.08 this year is it 0.005. My levels has always been very low but my family physician said it was ok. I am concern because I have discover that TSH is associated/indicator (possibly) for heart concern. Heart disease runs in my family so I would like to see should I take further steps.
[|AI|]  Hello, Brief Answer: Low TSH is not a risk factor to develop heart disease. Explanation: My opinion is that low TSH or hyperthyroidism is an overproduction of thyroid hormones that manifest with symptoms and signs all over the body. Concerning the heart, you may experience palpitations and nothing more. If you have such a condition, you may need to do an EKG to make sure that your rate and rhythm is fine. I suggest my patients the following: Clinical examination and EKG if palpitations present. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about the symptoms you have and if treatment is given. Conclusion: I suggest you check your treatment with your doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
