A 35-year-old nurse complained of nervousness, weakness, and palpitations with exertion for the past 6 months. Recently, she noticed excessive sweating and wanted to sleep with fewer blankets than her husband. She had maintained a normal weight of 120 pounds but was eating twice as much as she did 1 year ago. Menstrual periods have been regular but there was less bleeding. Physical/Assessment examination: Pulse was 102/minute and BP was 130/60. She appeared anxious, with a smooth, warm, and moist skin, a fine tremor, a bounding cardiac apical pulse, and she couldn’t rise from a deep knee bend without aid. Her thyroid contained 3 nodules, 2 on the right and one on the left. Her eyes were not prominent (proptotic or exophthalmos) and she had no focal skin thickening. Laboratory studies: Serum T4=15.6 ug/dl and serum T3=250 ng/dl (N=80-160). Lab Normal Range: Lab Results WBC 8,200 Hemoglobin 13 Hematocrit 41 RBC 4.2 Platelets 230,000 T3 8.9 T4 12.8 Free T4 1.99 1.
