Synthroid and Running 5/15/2012 7:21PM Reply | Return to Index | Report Post
I have had all the symptoms of hypothyroidism besides weight gain,(I'm actually underweight) and a recent blood work showed an elevated TSH. I have just been placed on synthroid. What experiences have any of you had on thyroid therapy with running? Better/worse/no effect? Any Non-Running Related Side Effects?

Should help. The thryoid hormone is involved with energy production, not enough then V02 drops.

I have the same issue (hypothyroid, underweight, mildly elevated TSH) and my endocrinologist is employing the strategy of watchful waiting. That said, I seem to cycle through euthyroid and hypothyroid phases. I opted not to take medication but go for monthly blood tests to check my thyroid function.

My resting heart rate went from 45 to 75 bpm. My cholesterol dropped from 596 to 175, and I'm more agressive. I'm taking Levothyroxin, btw. One thing I cannot do is take Mucinex before running.
