Concern on THC / Hypothyroidism

Around a year back I started having crazy heart issues, I have bradycardia and occasionally smoking would cause it to rise to around 200+ bpm.

It was terrifying and I knew THC didn’t help but it didn’t always cause it, sometimes driving would cause it aswell.

I went to a doctor a few weeks ago for concerns on a hole in my heart(which I don’t have thank god) however he noticed my TSH was around 5-6. He put me on levothyroxine and I immediately noticed a difference, however even the tiniest puff causes immediate sweats, dizziness, and palpitations, which means I more than likely have to quit.

I’m looking for other solutions however I will quit if there are none, I’ve just used THC as an anxiety med for so long I don’t know what to do. I’m fine at home but if anything stresses me or even driving I can feel my thyroid swell and THC is useless at that point.

I also use nicotine however I’ve only noticed issues if I also smoke THC.

If anyone has advice or can point me in a good direction I will very much so appreciate it, I’ve only been on thyroid meds for around 2 weeks so I’m not sure when it will fully kick in.
