Can high RT3 cause heart palps and a rapid pulse?

[Guest guest]

I had a massive amount of stress in my life from winter 2009 unitil March 2010

and I started getting palpitations and a rapid heart rate. At one stage my RHR

was 125 BPM while I was just lying in bed. It started after I tried growth

horomone in January, which sent my body into a hyper state. I got off the GH

immediately, but i have had heart issues since. Prior to this I had been doing

well on NTH for a year.

My doc said I was hyper and so I reduced thyroid, but that just left me hypo

with the inability to tolerate cold, weight gain and tiredness. So, I got my RT3

done and my results were:

Reverse T3: 0.75 (0.14-0.54) US measurement is 490.

RT3/T3 ratio: 10.85

At this time, my Free's were also WAY above range, so I took my docs

instructions and decreased my NT.

Things are a bit better, but my heart stil goes into the 100's when I do

something simple like get up from my desk to go to the bathroom. My resting

pulse is also in the 80's and early 90's; when it was happily in the 70's before

this all started. Also, when I lie down, it pounds aginst my chest sometimes.

I am going to a doc tomorrow and will see if she wil test electolytes.

My question is could this heart thing be caused by RT3? My adrenals are

supported and I can't be hypo anymore, as my NTH is now at the lowest dose I can

tolerate without a return of hypo symptoms. I was on 4.5 - 5 grains and am now

on 3.5 grains.

Thanks!

LOW T3 in the cells is what is causing your heart isses I am pretty sure

of it and that is directly from high RT3. Yours is WAY high. Strange

that GH caused this!

I wonder if a combination of stress and the GH combined did it.

If my electrolytes are low, could fixing them sort my RT3?

Also, people always talk about the RT3 ratio, but is the high RT3 of 490 not bad

anyway even if the ratio was okay?

My issue is my doc does not believe in T3 therapy for RT3 and thinks sorting out

the other issues will fix things. Could they?

Wel you have to realises that GH CAN reduce your cortisl by up to 50% so

that may be the answer here.

I went off GH after 1.5 weeks of using it in January, and RT3 was tested in

March.

Could GH still have affected RT3 even 1.5 months after stopping it?
