Pulse rates - Sittin on the fence

[Guest guest]

The symptoms list in the files lists some of the hyper and hypo cardiac

symptoms. It seems that some people can use these as guidelines while other

people go by other symptoms.

My rapid heart beat and palpitations subsided somewhat as I became euthyroid,

but while I was hypo, in the process of reducing my ATD, I also had high blood

pressure and my heart still ran pretty fast. (One endo suggested the cardiac

symptoms lagged behind my thyroid levels.)

In my case the length between menstrual periods and their severity exactly

signaled my thryoid levels (far apart and light when I was hyper, close together

and profuse and painful when I was hypo). I guess the trick is to learn to chart

your own symptoms, as you're doing. Keeping a binder with test results and how

you felt each time is useful here.

Best wishes,
