Question 3 of 5
A 52-year-old male patient with a family history of cardiac disease reports to the clinic with a complaint of intermittent chest pain. A review of his medical record reveals that he was started on 112.5 mcg of synthetic T4 (Synthroid) three weeks ago for a TSH level of 7.2. While he reports improved energy and mental clarity since starting on Synthroid he is concerned about the chest pain. You take his vital signs and find he has a BP of 142/86 and a regular pulse at 128. Which of the following represents your best treatment plan for this patient?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Excess thyroid hormone can cause tachycardia and chest pain (pulse 128); decreasing Synthroid (B) and ordering TSH/EKG assesses thyroid levels and cardiac status. No change (A) risks worsening symptoms, stress test (C) alone misses thyroid adjustment, and discontinuation (D) is premature for lifelong therapy.
