Re: Can't figure out this one symptom

[Guest guest]

I forgot to add that I am not feeling any anxiety, anxiousness or panic when my

heart is pounding. It seems to be beating a regular pace, just very forceful.

Not rapid beating or palps as I have seen with low cortisol.

I am also have a heck of a time with after 4pm with what seem to be low blood

sugar symptoms and anxiousness that don't respond to eating. I am on chromium,

milk thistle and eat protein/carb snack about 3:30pm. I take 5mg of HC at 3pm.

(25mg a day)

I am doing anything I can to maintain blood sugar and to help liver function for

glucose regulation. But nothing really seems to help. And it's limited to 4-7pm

time of day.

I do have to have a protein snack at bedtime or I wake up in the night.

I'd be happy to just get to the bottom of the heart pounding though. that's the

most concerning for me right now.

I have not begun T3 yet. Waiting for the doc to read over all the info I gave

her on this protocol. And working on ferretin first.

It's so hard it feels like my heart is going to thump out of my chest.

It takes several MONTHS ot bring ferritin up and I suspect that is the

issue woiht low T3 as well.

I have had low iron for years, without the heart pounding. I didn't know if

others had experienced this symptoms from HC issues or low T3.

And if it went away with more HC, less HC or getting on T3.

I guess I may not find out without some experimentation.

I had the heart pounding thing for YEARS and it went away wiht enough T3

but it is one of my first hypo symptoms ot return when I dip the least

bit low in T3 which si what thelow ferritin does, it stops the flow of

T3 to the cells,

Jan,

I've had this problem on and off for several years. Val (and even my doctor)

told me that heart pounding (not RACING) is a hypo symptom. That makes sense

because I used to happen to me badly every night when I fell apart 6 years ago,

and it also happened when I was on Isocort (and feeling tons better) but not on

any thyroid meds yet.

It has come and gone, I'm not always sure why! I just try different things,

increase or decrease of meds, salt, potassium, cal, mag, etc, etc.

I recently had bad episodes of it again and my temps were dropping, but it

turned out that this time I wasn't taking enough HC. I'd gotten a cold that I

didn't stress dose for and had just recently gone up on t3 and the combination

was too much for my adrenals, I think. I don't think the t3 was getting into the

cells, hence the dropping temps, so I don't know if it was low cellular t3 or

what, but lowering the t3 a tad and increasing the HC a tad (temporary raise

here) seems to have helped. They are TONS better today, almost gone in fact.

I hope this helps! I've typed in " heart pounding " into the search feature and

you'll see a lot of good experiences that can maybe help you.

Jan, I just saw that you said you weren't on t3 yet. I didn't know that. And

with no anxiety or feeling like adrenaline rush, your heart pounding is probably

from being hypo, then. I wrote about that in my other reply to you. I had the

heart pounds every night about until I started thyroid meds.
