Pixel 9a to iPhone 17e - will I regret it?

I want to go back to an Apple Watch for health reasons. I just feel like it does more than a Pixel Watch. In order to do that, I need to go back to iPhone. I don't use my phone for gaming, or recording video, or anything fancy. I use it to check my email, text messages, make phone calls, and surf social media. That's it. I don't take a ton of pictures.... usually just if I'm out hiking or pics of my dog but I don't need much. Will this work for me or will I really regret it?

I don't feel bad?

I got my tests back yesterday. See Endo this coming Thursday. My only symptom was tachycardia, SVT, and waking at 4am every freaking morning. I thought it was the Zepbound I had recently started.

I was started on propanolol ER and now my only symptoms are the 4am wakeup and a headache from the propanolol. I actually feel better than I have in YEARS since starting the Zepbound 15 days ago.

Prior to the Zep, I had severe inflammation, joint pain, insomnia, anxiety, weight gain (not loss???), brain fog, and hot flashes. That's all gone now and yet here I am with Graves Disease. Ugh.

Newly diagnosed and on GLP-1

GLP-1 and GD. New here! VERY new, lol. Final tests came back this morning. I don't see the Endo until next Thursday. I started a GLP-1 9 days prior to GD symptoms flaring (tachycardia and SVT). I was started on Propanolol ER prior to diagnosis and it's worked great. My primary doctor said I can stay on Zepbound for now. Endo who reviewed chart did not say to stop. Is this common? I know the GLP-1 did not cause GD and I want to stay on it. I feel better than I have in YEARS. Just nervous.

Current labs:

TSH 0.02

T4 Free 3.34

Thyroglobulin Normal

Thyroid Peroxidase Normal

Waiting on 2 more tests and then I see the Endo with in a week of them coming back. They are saying Graves is less likely at this point but not saying what is more likely.

Symptoms are tachycardia and SVT. Now mostly controlled with a beta blocker. Started after 2nd dose of Zepbound but every doctor said it's not at fault. Not enough time, low dose, etc.

I went in for tachycardia. Normally, my heart rate goes up and I get it down with breathing. Today I had 4 episodes over 165 with trouble bringing it down. So in I went. I thought it was related to one of two new meds but my TSH was 0.02. They started me on a beta blocker and sent out more blood for a full thyroid panel. I follow up with my doctor Monday.

ER doc said it's most likely Graves but he is not sure. I have all the symptoms but weight loss. I am starving and eat like crazy but my weight stayed the same. So I dunno.... But I am scared. Any tips on how to get through this?

My PCP of 11 years specifically sent me to a compounding pharmacy because he wanted b12 and b6 in my medication due to my health history. I am only on week 1 and had no idea about the problems going on. Wondering if I should stock up from other sources or bitethe bullet and go to LillyDirect..... Or just see what happens
