Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Have you tried doing 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt in a glass of water? These symptoms can be from low sodium. It could also be low cortisol, but I would try the salt water first as high pulse and dizziness, etc., are often low sodium. If you were hyper, your temps would be high, too. Kathleen > > I am at week 11 and for the past few days I have been experiencing a rapid pounding heart rate on and off (this morning it was up to 112) when it is normally around 80. It feels as though my heart is pounding and I can see my chest thumping. It is not all the time, but it is happening more frequently during the day. My temps are increasing and I feel warmer but they are not over 98.6 yet (I have had a couple of temps at 98.8). Is this clearance? I don't feel very well at all, tired and shaky and a bit dizzy. Or is this likely to be something else? Do I take my normal T3 dose? Not sure what to do, please advise. > > Kat > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 If the rapid heart rate is on-and-off, it does not sound like too much T3. Too much T3 will usually result in a constant high pulse.
