Guest guest Posted September 28, 1998 Report Share Posted September 28, 1998 Hi Everyone, The racing heart that most hypers feel first thing upon awakening in the morning or awakening after a fear dream was for me a very early symptom of hyperthyroidism and about the last symptom. When you've not eaten for the longest stretch of the day, any deficiencies are at their maximum. That's why this is an especially common time to feel your heart race. As you're laying there with your heart racing, think of all the hundreds of thousands of other people who are experiencing the same thing right then. It's the time all the hyperthyroid people commune with each other! LOL If you also get nauseous and sweaty, then your hyperT is more severe. If you get all those things in the night and have to get up and pace, it's even worse. When those symptoms are your life day and night, you're in big trouble. Calcium and Magnesium will usually halt those problems withing 20 minutes. Copper supplementation will get rid of them, and they will disappear after about 3 months but it can be a roller coaster of good nights and bad nights. As I've discovered lately, beer tends to cause them for me so I've discontinued drinking it. Other foods may cause it for you, but after you get over the copper deficiency, you'll be able to eat virtually anything without any nighttime problems. When you feel an unusually bad episode of morning rapid heart beat, look back at what you ate the day before and try to make an association. Figuring out what sets you off can help us figure everything out. There may be many copper antagonists in our food which we need to identify or there may be other causes. This morning heartbeat is probably the most sensitive indicator of your health and you should pay attention to it and write it down in your diary. ______________________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
