Val -- High pulse, anxiety, etc.

[Guest guest]

Good Morning Val,

Woke at 5:00 am with pulse 103 (generally around 80), a lot of anxiety, some

chest pain,

belching. Drank 400 mg Natural Calm magnesium and put some

progesterone/estrogen

cream on my wrists which brought down my pulse.

I'm dosing Cortef 7 1/2 (7:00 am), 5 (11:00 am), 5 (3:00 pm), 2 1/2 (7:00 pm).

I read through a lot of posts on high pulse, but it's totally confusing. Is

this a high cortisol

thing or a low cortisol thing? Do I need to do anything with the dosing?

I've often had these symptoms to varying degrees even before starting Cortef.

I've been

to the emergency room 3X thinking I was having a heart attack, and I've had

several heart

tests, but they never find anything. BUT I THINK DOCTORS ARE GENERALLY

UNTRUSTWORTHY, so I don't believe them.

The thing is, even if you have a heart condition or a viral infection of the

heart (as Cheney

and Lerner propose), getting the hormones balanced properly can only help you,

right?

Thanks Again,

Violet

You are just experiencing the usual running out of cortiosl by AM that many do

once they reach 20MG HC. I would add a bedtime 2.5mg to your dosing, no sweets

after 5PM adn eat high protein snack at bedtime wiht the HC. This is caused by

adrenaline which is released when your cortiosl is running too low and you

become hypoglycemic.
