Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 My resting pulse is 96. I have been supplementing salt and potassium and I no longer feel faint when standing. I recently raised my HC to 40 and my T3 to 65 and my temps are sablilzing at 97.7 My last free T3 was 362 any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 -How much potassium? Did your pulse creep up once you started potassium and/or salt? Sometimes a higher pulse is low sodium. -- In RT3_T3 , " wliz@... " wrote: > > My resting pulse is 96. I have been supplementing salt and potassium and I no longer feel faint when standing.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Hi Crystal I have been taking 2000 mg per day of potassium. I think the change in my pulse just happened recently, when my low dose estro patch fell off, however I used topical estro last night and my pulse is still high today. I also felt really sick to my stomach and had a headache, although that might be something I ate. The new estro is a different kind from the compounding pharmacy although the dose should be the same. I have not been good about keeping my pulse lately but I noticed it getting faster the other night. I am definitely going to keep my pulse every day now. I did sea salt this a.m. and my pulse is still high. Should I lay off potassium and see if it works I am feeling a little faint today, actually > > > > My resting pulse is 96.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 This might be my problem, too. But usually when I need salt I feel faint. I didn't before, although now I do kind of feel faint when I get up. Do you have that too? Are you on florinef? > > > > My resting pulse is 96.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Both my sodium and potassium are a little low, I think. I wonder if I should take florinef. My doc doesn't want to give it to me. One other detail is that I urinate several times per night. Does that mean I need florinef? > > > > My resting pulse is 96.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Thanks Crystal I am going to tell my doc and hopefully he will let me do a trial > > > > > > > > My resting pulse is 96.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 I had increased my potassium also and was surprised to see it was 3.6 when in Jan. it was 4.2. I was taking 40 meq a day. I was wondering if this happened because I was taking it the same time I took selenium. So I have stopped doing that and will see in about another 5 days with the next lab. I also have been having high pulse but I am also working on Rt3 with just T3. I also have food sensitivities that will cause high pulse. So it is going to be a little more difficult for me to figure this out. But I was surprised also to read that increasing potassium will raise pulse. I raised, got high pulse, and a low potassium result. What a puzzle! Venizia > > You are so right! I began this saga with sodium at 4.2 and potassium at 3.9. I supplemented both and 2 wks later sodium was at 4.0 and potassium was 3.6. I'm going tomorrow for another electrolyte panel. I've been doing 1500mg of potassium and no extra salt. So frustrating! I also do 400mg magnesium citrate at bedtime. > > Delores > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 I have been taking potassium supplements for years. I have NEVER had this happen before. I think it is either that I was taking it with selenium OR it has something to do with the reverse T3 I am dealing with, with just T3. Maybe the T3 is doing something to my levels. I have NEVER had a problem with the supplement not raising my levels. I do not know what my sodium level is. They were suppose to run that also and didn't so I will be asking for it when I go in for the next labs in a few days. Venizia > > > > > > You are so right!
