Re: Weird Feeling in Chest

[Guest guest]

I don't know if this helps -- but I have experienced exactly the same kind of tightness in my right chest. I have found there is a correlation with my T3 dose. When I lowered my dose, the tightness decreased -- it may take a day or so of decreased dose for it to go away. I am starting week 5 of T3 only and am finding that 20-25 mcg of Cytomel per day is all I can tolerate before tightness returns and sometimes pulse and temp increase. I am going to get my Ferritin levels checked (if it ever stops snowing on the East Coast to see if this has anything to do with my low tolerance.

I increased my T3 yesterday by 5mcg.I am taking:11.25mcg + T4/T3 Combo pill in the AM.6.25mcg6.25mcg6.25mcg(taking T3 with Isocort)I noticed yesterday making dinner a tightness in my chest towards the right side... I drank some sea salt water and ate dinner and it went away... This morning, I felt the same thing- drank the sea salt water and ate breakfast and the feeling in my chest is coming and going... It is not 'pain'... It just feels like a tightness... It is enough to bother me.I also just started my period... Not sure if there is any correlation to this...My pulse is normal and so far my temperature is 98.7 right now... I am not sure if I need to be doing anything else??

When you first start your period, progesterone is the LOWEST of the

entire month. This causes aldosterone to be lwoer. I woudl htink salt is

what you need. Or more adrneal support.

So, you think it is ok to keep taking the same T3 doses for a few days and just

increase my salt/water to a couple times a day and see how that goes?
