Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I am now on 85 mcg of cytomel, and am tapering down a little from 55 mg of HC to 52.5 mg. My temps are stable, still, and I don't really have low cortisol symptoms, whereas I used to have low cort symptoms with high heart rate, and when I increased the HC, my heart rate would decrease. I am supplementing iron now, and I do have low ferritin, but highish serum iron, so I am not sure if this is the cause of the high heart rate. I have to watch how much iron I take because last time I supplemented, my iron came out really high on a test. I finally feel like I am not hypo, and my temps are around 98.0, which is fine with me, but I am worried I can't tolerate the T3 at a high enough level for me for some reason. I am supplementing sea salt a lot and it is not helping, either. Are there any other reasons why my heart rate could be high? The only other thing I can think of is that my free estradiol levels could be low due to high shbg. I have read that low magnesium can increase heart rate, too. Is this true? If anyone can think of other reasons why heart rates can go high, please let me know. Also, for what its worth, my heart is pounding very hard. It moves my whole body when it beats.
