Epsom salts may be a prescription-only item in Korea.

seems to be racing - it is around 96 beats a minute and POUNDING, and goes up to

like 106 at the slightest stress. I just stood up and felt like my heart was

going to beat out of my chest! Very scary! I also just took my temp, and it's up

to 37.4 (usually around 37.1 - I am post-ovulation). It seems whenever I get the

slightest bit stressed, my heart pounding gets even worse and races, and my temp

goes up and I start sweating. I did the salt water test and it didn't work.

pounding and heart beat.. A LOT! So I am guessing then I must need a raise, but

could this mean I have TOO much T3? I will be taking my next dose in an hour -

should I even take it? I am so worried? What if all this time, my T4 isn't

actually being depressed? How would I know?

pounds, thus I am worried if my T3 is actually too high?? But I still feel quite

tired - I thought hyper meant I was suposed to have more energy? I haven't been

sleeping well as night at all anymore since starting T3. Maybe I am hyper, but

I'm just tired from not sleeping?

needed to take a betablocker 3 times daily to control it. I also lost weight.

the range being 5.7 so it proved it was too much T3. I have now cut back from

45 mcg T3 to 37.5 and the heart pounding/racing has gone except for the

occasional awareness of the heart in bed so its a lot better and I have put back

a couple of pounds.
