Re: heart issues due to t3 increase?

[Guest guest]

I hope this isn't considered hijacking, but I think it's related. I just had 5

rounds of venofer (have to wait to test for level at least a week so no new

number right now) and my heart is recently racing too. It is driving me crazy.

And scaring me. The only relief I had so far is from acupuncture (which worked

great). My T3 was raised for only one day but I backed down because the racing

got worse. I did switch from Isocort to Cortef though because of the infection.

One other factor, (and I hope someone has some experience with this) is that I'm

on a really strong antibiotic for a sinus infection, Augmentin XR. I'm 7 days

into the AB's so it's not the infection using up cortisol which is what I first

thought.

Do antibiotics use up cortisol or T3? I do have a lot more energy and would

probably feel great if I didn't feel like I could have a heart attack at any

moment and a lot of anxiety.

I suspect the antibiotics are somehow using T3 or cortisol because my basal has

dropped over a degree since I've been on them. But I tried raising T3 and that

only made my heart race more. So did raising HC. I am stumped and frustrated

because I could be feeling great right now I suspect.

Maybe it's just the damn AB's. These Augmentins usually keep me EXHAUSTED and

they are not doing it this time. Instead they're affecting my thyroid and

adrenals.

Anybody have any ideas, suggestions or experience with AB's while on T3/Cortef?

This heart racing is really upsetting me and making me very nervous.

Thanks,

Donna

The antibiotics do nto use cortiosl or T3 but the infeciton will lower

your cortils drastically even WITH Antibiotics. AB's still need oyur

immune systrem to fight the infection they do nto do it alone. Whne ill

we can need many timesd more cortios than we nee when we are not sick. I

would t4y a stress dose and see if that helps.
