Which weighs more in preventing heart illnesses, healthy diet or exercise? Part 2

I was on Thyroxine, but it didn't work, so they changed me to T3 treatment, but that gave me heart palpitations, so now I am coming off that and will probably have to go back on Thyroxine.

Am sorry, am not well versed with thyroid meds..i will have to check. They can only give u higher doses perhaps?I need to do a bit of research on this one☺

when I was put on a higher dose, it made me very ill. I got dizzy spells constantly :/

what dose and how often?

I was on about 175 per day

It says here twice a day as it is short-acting.
There is 125mcg dose...perhaps that is better?

sorry, I meant the thyroxine was that dose. My t3 dose was twice a day, 25mcg each dose, but i have had to come off that because it was causing heart palpitations

Thyroxine 125mcg twice a day is too much?
It is less each dose compared to 175 in one go.
The 125 will have worn off when taking the 2nd one.
