Re: Been getting heart pounding last 5 days - BUMP -update

[Guest guest]

Hi Val, running this by you again..Since my last post on Friday I've dropped and maintained the T3 at 18.75, 12.5, 18.75, 12.5 and HC to 5,5,5,5 and seem to be having somewhat better results without the major heart pounding, I am still having very mild pounding occasionally but it is much less than what I was dealing with last week. I wonder if I may have cleared, I'm beginning into my 11th week now? My temps get higher (though staying within .2 or .3 of daily 98.6 avg),my pulse gets over 90+ as well as higher blood pressure (Stage 1 hypertension levels) especially after the 3rd and 4th doses. I tend to get sweaty during these times as well. It still feels like I need to tweak the doses a bit, just not sure where so I'm sticking on this dose until I hear back from you. I have energy, no cold feet, no hair loss or other hypo symptoms I used to have. I would appreciate any further guidance you may have.Thanks!!Kem<<Posted by: " T" artisticgroomer@... valharlyFri Jul 30, 2010 3:07 am (PDT)All you can do is try it. I never got the pounding symptoms from high T3 mine was alwauys when I was low in T3 and adrenals messed up but YOU may be differnt. But DO give these trials more than ONE day as it takes at least 3 days for your body to adjust to a new dose of ANY hormone sometimes longer as thye affect other hormones and conversions.l http://www.nthadrenalsweb.comhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/http://faqhelp.webs.com/http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/http://artisticgrooming.net/>>>>> Val, I'm thinking I may have actually cleared.

Will do Val, thanks! The heart pounding has greatly improved at these new HC/T3 doses. I do have a quick question while I have your ear. Yesterday I had a major migraine happening, stayed in bed all day and took my Tramadol. I got up several times to take my temps and it was abnormally low, only averaged 97.9, pulse & bp were normal. Very strange because my temps have been steady as a rock for well over 2 months at 98.6. Today the migraine has lingered a bit but I've felt well enough to do some things - but my temp doesn't seem to want to go past 98.2, been stuck there all day. Do you think it's the migraine keeping my temp down?<<Posted by: " T" artisticgroomer@... valharlyFri Aug 6, 2010 9:16 am (PDT)I would reduce HC now, SLOWLY staring wiht last dose to 2.5mg adn drop 2.5mg every 2 weeks till it is gone or sympotms worsen. http://www.nthadrenalsweb.org/http://www.health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/http://www.faqhelp.webs.com/http://www.health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/>>> Hi Val, running this by you again..>>>> Since my last post on Friday I've dropped and maintained the T3 at> 18.75, 12.5, 18.75, 12.5 and HC to 5,5,5,5 and seem to be having> somewhat better results without the major heart pounding, I am> still having very mild pounding occasionally but it is much less> than what I was dealing with last week.
