I had some testing done and found that I have an Iodine and selenium deficiency, so I started taking supplements of each. I always start out with small amounts to make sure I have no bad reactions, and I started with selenium before Iodine just to be extra safe.
Anyway, after working up to about 100 mcg a day of selenium, and maybe 33 mcg of iodine, I felt amazing. All of my symptoms were gone! No more fatigue, irritability, moodiness, brain fog, inability to focus, Depression etc. But then I woke up one day and thought I felt anxious. It was really nothing, but one of things I have worried about with taking Iodine is becoming hyperthyroid where I feel anxious.
Anyway, because of this experience, I decided to stick with the RDA amounts for each supplement. Since I was taking more than the RDA of selenium, I decided to not take any the first day I was going to switch over to RDA amounts, but I did take about 60 mcg of iodine.
Well, I had pain in my throat and then my throat started itching. It wasn't anything unbearable, but definitely a negative reaction.
So, I went back to adding selenium the next day and everything was fine, except for the fact that I started getting bad headaches, and then diarrhea. Diarrhea is apparently the #1 symptom of selenium toxicity.
So, I cut back on the selenium to only 50 mcg a day, but I still get headaches and I have this lump / pressure feeling in my throat. It's nothing I can't deal with, but I want to know if I should be worried about it.
Does anyone know if it's possible to go hyperthyroid or cause any other issues if you're taking the RDA of nutrients like selenium and iodine? I have never even worked up to 150 mcg of iodine. The most I have taken is 100 mcg in a day.
It just seems to have such a significant impact on my body. It makes me feel warm and I get that pressure feeling in my throat and upper chest. I really just want to be able to take 50 mcg of selenium and 150 mcg of iodine a day, and feel comfortable doing it, meaning, not worry that it's going to cause me problems down the road.

Hiya,
Answer a few questions so we get the bigger picture..
Have you had a successful parasite cleanse? (At least a three-month cycle of cleansing, hopefully with seeing parasites in the toiletbowl)
Are you taking the other iodine/selenium cofactors? ( list here https://stopthethyroidmadness.com/2013/12/29/companion-nutrients-the-key-to-iodine-protocol/)
Do you take salt flushes when you get the swollen throat feeling and anxiety? Does it calm the anxiousness, or are you still feeling wonky after two glasses of saltwater and having a good pee? ( recipie at https://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=2118222 )
Lastly, look here:
https://www.drjohnbergman.com/mineral-synergism-and-antagonism/
Selenium requires sulfur to do it's job. It lowers sulfur levels in the body when you take it above food-normal levels for quite a while.
Sulfur gives a sensation of calm and chill. It's my go-to when I have trouble sleeping (I use epsom salt, and less commonly, thiamine (vitamin B1), MSM (methylsulfurmethane) and biotin). If you're not taking a b-complex vitamin beside the selenium, you're probably way on the 'too much right now' side of the teeter-totter with selenium.
If you're home, try roasting a whole bulb of garlic in olive oil and eat it all (squish the garlic out of the bulb-paper) and eat it all on toast with butter and oregano. Very good reloading technique for sulfur levels. :) (recipie https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-roast-garlic-in-the-oven-5341 )

This is a reply to # 2,414,967I appreciate all the info. Here are all the elements I was tested for. My levels are the first number and then the normal range is after that.
Iodine 37 L 100-380 μg/g Cr
Bromine 1434 700-4800 μg/g Cr
Selenium 26 L 34-220 μg/g Cr
Lithium 13 10-218 μg/g Cr
Arsenic 5 <42 μg/g Cr
Cadmium 0.16 <0.72 μg/g Cr
Mercury 0.07 <1.58 μg/g Cr
Creatinine 1.70 0.3-2.0 mg/mL
I haven't done the parasite cleanse.
I started taking a multivitamin with all the B vitamins and an additional 400mg of magnesium and I didn't have any headaches or pressure feeling in my throat today! In fact, I feel great with lots of energy and no side effects, like I had before!
I really hope this continues, because I feel amazing.

This is a reply to # 2,415,037Relatively high bromine levels, keep the salt levels up. (the IMAM salt drink 2x a day.)
Nutrients always run in interlocking cycles (Expect you may need to ask questions / experiences will change as time goes on).
Glad you are perked up!
Grab a multimineral (fulvic acid is my #1 choice) when the time comes to continue supporting the B-complex and changes to your canging metabolisim.
Bless. :)

Followup on earlier post,
See google searches on low dopamine and anxiety.
There's a strong relationship between manganese and dopamine levels in the body (manganese helps the body maintain dopamine).
Check your diet from top to toe to see if you are eating / have been eating foods from crops sprayed with glyphosate (roundup-ready crops/ Genetically-Modified-Organisms crops).
Glyphosate in the gut kills the gut flora that helps your body absorb manganese.
There's a close relationship between selenium, sulfur and manganese:
You need sulfur to process selenium, you need manganese to process sulfur.
TL:DR; Is your body trying to dump glyphosate when you take the selenium together with the iodine?
Manganese is also one of the minerals that the body uses to regulate overproduction of thyroid hormome and to produce glutathione peroxidase.
Glyphosate not good. <:)
