Before I found out that I was pregnant, I was already diagnosed with a thyroid problem, hyperthyroidism. I had tests (T3 T4 and TSH) and all were positive for hyperthyroid. The endocrinologist prescribed a Propranolol or Inderal for eaxtreme palpitation and Tapazole for my thyroid. I am really afraid that it might have a very bad effect on my baby as I believe the heart and organs are developing. Please give accurate and frank response
