Good doc. ;-)

I'm finally on Beta Blockers when mine hit 142 one night. I went to
work, told my co-worker what was happening and took my first Beta
Blocker, then waited. Took 3 hours to come down to 100.

Now resting is running around 82.

It's scary... I think mine was due to an OD of Thyroid Armour generic
tho'. I've cut the dose and it has not happened since.
Figuring out a proper thyroid med dose can be iffy, and takes weeks.
