Re: Responding to heart palpitations

[Guest guest]

>>I hear that many of you sometimes get heart palpitations when increasing your

meds. Well,

I have had it once for about 15 minutes and it scared the living daylights out

of me! Is it

dangerous when this happens...I mean, do you go to the emergency room, if so at

what

point? Can it cause a heart attack? What do you do?<<

Yes heart palps are common as you raise your dose. I would think the severity

would be the deciding factor as to whether you should seek medical help or not.

I have had a pulse of over 130 for 12-18 hours with no consequences, but that is

me and you have to decide for yourself what is safe for your body to endure. At

the hospital, if they do anything at all, which they often don't, they may give

you Atenolol or other med of the same type to lower your heart rate. This is

fine for a once in a while thing, but you do not want to stay on Atenolol as it

is also an antithyroid med.

Maybe it would be a good idea to have it on hand

instead of spending unnecessary money at the hospital

especially when it can save your life? What about

using Inderall to slow the heart down?

Also - Why do I get very few responses from others on

my questions? It seems like does all the work!

Yes Inderal would work the same but it is also an antithyroid med so use

accordingly. Keep it on hand? My palps were never anythign to worry about. After

having congestive heart failure form too low thyroid and being given Atenolol, I

really will never ingest that med again.

As for why, guess I am one of the few thta has actually resolved alot of my

problems and most the folks here are still struggling to just get started, thus

are learning.
