Guest guest Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 > I haven't been taking my DHEA regularly and am wondering if that is contributing to my heart pounding. > Good question. A pounding heart is related to your adrenals and the fight or flight reaction, especially if your adrenals are feeling the need to overproduce adrenaline in response to something else not optimal in your body....

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Well, I've been on 2 - 3 pellets of Isocort now for several days. I'm starting to feel like I did when I took the big dose of Prednisone back in April. A bit of heart pounding, nervousness. I'm feeling the kinda' panic feeling. I'm going to drop back to 1 pellet and start Nature-Throid at 1/2 grain as soon as I get the prescription filled. I've been on Atkins for 14 days and have lost a whole ZERO pounds. I'm sick of this. Val in Boulder, CO Good question.

DHEA and heart pounding Well, I've been on 2 - 3 pellets of Isocort now for several days. I'm starting to feel like I did when I took the big dose of Prednisone back in April. A bit of heart pounding, nervousness. I'm feeling the kinda' panic feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Actually, it's not strange, and I'm so glad you brought this up, Jamy! If you are low in iron, your body is unable to transport oxygen to all cells adequately. Thus, the heartrate has to increase to help push oxygen through!!
