Wednesday morning around 130 I started coughing real bad. I thought it was bronchitis. It just wouldn't stop. It got to where I couldn't breathe at all. So around 3 am I got my mom (SHE ROCKS!!!) to drive me to the ER. They thought I was having or about to have a heart attack. Blood enzymes and all that. As it turns out I was having a thyroid storm. Apparently somewhere along the way my thyrouid has become hyper active and I have been blissfully unaware of it. So for now my blood pressure is high and my heart rate is too fast due to the thyroid hormone. I had a build up of fluid from that pesky thing too. They drained over 9000cc's off me in two days. So now I am home, just weak and all. They will send me to an endocrinologist (sp?) to kill about 80% of my thyroid to take care of that in the near future.:smooch:
 
from wiki

Thyrotoxic crisis (or thyroid storm) is a rare but severe complication of hyperthyroidism, which may occur when a thyrotoxic patient becomes very sick or physically stressed. Its symptoms can include: an increase in body temperature to over 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), tachycardia, arrhythmia, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, coma, and death.[citation needed] Thyroid storm requires prompt treatment and hospitalization. The main treatment is to decrease the circulating thyroid hormone levels and decrease their formation. Propylthiouracil and methimazole are two agents that decrease thyroid hormone synthesis and are usually prescribed in fairly high doses.[10]
