Can elevated Troponin levels be related to Thyroid or Infertility problems?


I often feel fatigued and seem to have a low energy level. This happens a few times a week. I usually have to take prometrium to have a period or I have to be on a birth control pill just to be regular. My first child had to be conceived with clomid. I can go six+ months with no period, if it isn't medicine induced. I have never been told that I have a thyroid problem, but I know that I have irregular periods and infertility issues. Can this cause heart damage or elevated troponin levels?
Recently, I went to the ER and had an abnormal ekg/ecg. I had an irregular heartbeat and my blood pressure was up and down. After bloodwork and many tests, the only thing they could find wrong was that I had an elevated cardiac enzyme, troponin, in my blood. It was .11 to begin with and about 12-16 hours later it was .10. The doctor told me that this suggested possible heart damage. I had a treadmill stress echo today...no results yet :( If it isn't my heart, what could it be?

Triponins are only to do with the heart--not periods or infertilty. They will go up due to heart damage--you may have a blocked artery which can cause ischemia (can be reversed) to send the triponins out--what did your ekg say? If your Cardiologist thought you were in danger you would be in the hospital. He will let you know. you will prob have to make changes in life--food, exercise. stop smoking if u do to preserve your heart--I know it is hard but prob okay if you havent heard back.

I would get in to see an endocrinologist as well as a cardiologist.
Make sure that you don't have some autoimmune disease which also affects your heart valves.

There are a couple different kinds of troponin. Troponin I is specific to heart damage. However, this could be something other than a heart attack. Pericarditis (inflammation of the heart) or Endocarditis (infection inside the heart) can also lead to elevated troponin levels. The fact that you have associated EKG changes seems to suggest cardiac involvement. Check with your doctor for sure.
