[|Human|] Yesterday I was leaving Florida on a flight back to Chicago with my family. We had a great week long vacation there, but suddenly, I awoke with this horrible feeling. My heart felt strange, I was shaky, I was nervous, dizzy, chills, increase bowel movements and felt extremely frightened and I don t know why. At the ER they gave me a shot of Ativan and suddenly all my symptoms went away. I was sleepy the rest of the day, but I got home just fine. Could this have been a panic attack? I also have a thyroid condition and I take Synthroid. I was told that my Thyroid tests were high and I need medication adjustment. Could this have caused these symptoms?
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms seem to be caused by a panic attack, which may be related to the thyroid hormonal imbalance. I would like to explain that pseudo-hyperthyroidism induced by higher doses of Synthroid can cause anxiety, tachycardia and panic attacks. I recommend you to consult with your endocrinologist, perform thyroid hormone levels to consider the possibility to lower Synthroid doses. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings!
