Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Interesting. This only developed in the last week when I started back on 's Adrenal Rebuilder (did not have that reaction before), and pharmacy gave me Armour instead of the generic I'd been using for months (and charged me more). Armour bottle says 30 mg, generic bottle says 32.5 mg, and I take 4/day so if they really were identical mg for mg, I just lost 10 mg! Pharmacy said the 32.5 was considered equivalent to Armour's 30, but now I'm not so sure. Anxiously awaiting saliva lab results and will decide what to do from there.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Barb, I am Celiac and Hypothyroid. Thyroid meds did not stop my fluttering, skipping, occassional pounding heart.....magnesium glycinate is working wonders along with gluten-free, casein-free.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Too much armour/thyroid can cause irregular heartbeat/atrial fibrillation I believe...maybe you should cut back and then go up slowly? I'd definitely tell the doc about your symptoms. Or, could be something in the adrenal rebuilder...I don't know this person's supplements, but unless he's having them third party tested, there is no guarantee your're getting what is on the bottle since there is no regulation of supplements (and if he says he's got adrenal cortex in there...i'd be real suspicious since I know many of these have been tested and found just to contain cortisol). Could just be that your did both changes at the same time so backing off the rebuilder for a couple weeks till you adjust to the armour might be an idea too.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks to all who responded. I take sea salt throughout the day, think I eat enough potassium to balance it, magnesium 5x/day, not on HC (just weaned off for saliva labs), if I'm hypo, it's not by much, feet still a little cold so don't think I'm hyper, so today will not take the Adrenal Rebuilder as a test. I did notice the label had changed since I took it for 6 months last year with no problem. Before it was completely porcine, now the label says the thyroid portion is bovine. And it states that it has no hormones in it. Did not say that before. When I was SERIOUSLY hypo, I had a loud, pounding, fast heartbeat that was annoying when trying to sleep. But it wasn't irregular.
