Leisa,

Low cortisol can cause your feeling dizzy, not wanting to stand, even if your

sodium is good.

Low carb can make your potassium too low and I think yours looks like you could

take some. Certainly, being mid-range, it couldn't hurt anything to try.

Potassium has helped with my pounding heart greatly, although I know you said

you actually feel like you can't get enough oxygen. I think that is " air hunger "

and is generally a hypo symptom.

Magnesium helps everything; it is so important to the body, period, so I would

supp it if you are low! It DOES affect your heart very much.

Yes, your ft3 was high BUT if by any chance you have thyroid resistance, it will

be high, but maybe not that high...

And, of course, low cortisol will make the t3 pool and not get into the cells,

which (1) makes you feel hypo even though on higher doses of t3 and (2) could be

causing some of your symptoms.

heart would pound very hard before I started to supplement both things. Maybe

you need to go to HC? Not sure since I don't know the entire history.

ft3.
