I would not be overly concerned with this...I think the body has to

adjust....just sorta keep a check it doesn't go over 90 for too long.

How much Armour did you say you were taking?

I don't know why...but i giggled at your post. Yea...it's hard on us trying

to obtain a Thyroid Doctor degree when our brain is all hypo fuzzy....but we

do it....even if we get semi-hyper momentarily...but we will get better....and

keep a check on that pulse.

what is it normally?

Its a good idea to check your pulse when you first wake up and then

monitor how it is doing-moving around and getting stressed affects the

pulse rate.

when sitting at the computer mine is about 80-90 , when lying in bed

its about 70-75

well 85 is better then it used to be (110 when i was pregnant). i

just want to make sure that this head pressure thing isn't

dangerous. but from what i am seeing here in the forum, i am not the

only one who experienced this strange side effect.

thank you for your advice.

if they don't do it...they have no idea if you are converting enough T4 into

T3 for your body. INSIST upon this test.

that ordinarily just picks up severe adrenal failure...not hypoadrenalism/low

adrenal reserve.

If that's the ACTH stim test, it COULD pick up hypoadrenalism if they'd realize

that

the number must at least double! They draw blood for a baseline cortisol level,

then inject ACTH. Then a half hour later and/or hour later, they draw blood

again.

If the cortisol level at least doubles, it's OK. If it doesn't, it shows

hypoadrenalism.

But the doctors insist if either number is above 18 (in my lab), it's normal.

That only

means it's not 's.
