Re: Help - Heart just started beating VERY slowly and IRREGULARLY

[Guest guest]

That's one of the hard parts I think - Do know when to, and to know how much

to stress dose with! My temp is not going up, so I doubt I am very sick.

When I say sick, I mean " extra sick " on top of the Hypo, AF and so on.

It feels weird saying " when I'm sick " cause I am sick every day.

Ah, I didn't know I could use antibiotics while on HC! Thanks!

Thanks Nick! What about raising T3 with 5 mcg now at 6 pm, four hours

after my second T3 dose at 2 pm? (The first is obviously at 10 am)

My Ferritin is now at 66 (still didn't stop taking iron 5 days before testing!)

- But this is good news anyway, right???

I definitely think you need to be stable with your adrenals/thyroid. I was just saying that it might be the sinuses or tonsils that are causing you to have a slight elevation in your white blood cells.

If your head feels awful, I would see your doctor for what sounds like it could be a sinus infection.

Thinking of upping to 15 mcg today on my fourth day on 10 mcg.

Hoping the arrhythmia was not because I am upping too fast (well,

started on 10 mcg anyway, so..) or maybe I have become intolerant to

all synthetic thyroid meds? I am just worried, that's all.

If my Ferritin is 66, I should be able to go up a few notches, right?

Well, at most, I took 4-5 antibiotic cures yearly. Which is WAYYYY too much!

Thanks for the tip! I'll ask my GP about it.

To increase to 15 mcg T3 or to wait with it... It's hard to choose!

Kick me in the behind, please?

So I took another 5 mcg T3 now, bringing the total up to 15 mcg.

I changed from 1 grain Thyroid 4 dags ago. I was taking 9 mcg T3 in

that 1 grain by then. I've been on 10 mcg T3 since I changed to T3-only,

and today I added another 5 mcg T3.

Hope the increase in T3 is not too soon!

I was thinking about this pressure on the chest/heart that I've been

feeling more and more lately. WHY does it appear NOW? I felt this for

the first time in May 2007, when my STRESS started. This was the first

time I really felt that something was wrong. And it's been a downhill

ride ever since that point.

Ok, so if I got AF from the trauma I went thru at that time, I can see

how T3 wouldn't reach the cells. Causing pressure on my heart, and

difficulties breathing. Does this make sense? And NOW that I'm taking

T3 again, I get the pressure again. It feels like somebody has a foot

on my heart, stepping on it.

I also felt this symptom a few times in 2008 and once in the spring of

2009. I have no idea why.

Are these normal symptoms or is it something weird with just me?

Taking 15 mcg T3 daily now. Ferritin is at 66, and I keep taking 50 mg

Iron daily. With my 25 mg HC daily. I sleep from midnight/1 am to 9/10

am.

Pressure on my heart continues. More than 1 hour now. I feel weak.

Like my heart wants to beat weakly. It feels like a hand holding my

heart and squeezing it, pulling on it... It's so scary!

I felt this for my first time in May 2007, that's all I know.

The ER at the time said I had " low electricity " in my heart, looking at

theit EKG. I got scared hearing that. After 24 hours in a hospital,

with 24-hour EKG-supervision, a bike-test (you know, stress-test!),

a breathing-tube-test, and ultrasound (eccocardiogram) they concluded

with this: There is nothing wrong wiht my heart. Except a small leack

in a valve, and blocking of my right side of the heard or something.

It was NORMAL according to the specialists. Ok. So my heart isn't

perfect, but it's within the " normal " limits.

My question is: Maybe my not perfect heart will have problems with T3,

raising it, low cortisol, low ferritin and everything else that affects

the metabolism?

I am not on 15 mcg T3. Raised it by 5 mcg yesterday. I took 10 mcg

for 3 dats before I raised it. Did I raise it too soon? I got the

same pressure on 10 mcg T3, btw.

And I also got this pressure in the spring of 2009, and a few times

in 2008. Like. WHAT THE HECK is going on here???

Anyone?

I'm going to my GP now in 30 minutes to do YET another EKG and to

talk to him. . .

COULD IT BE my heart NOT getting ENOUGH T3? Maybe that's IT?

Wake up: 09:30

Meds and breakfast: 10:00

Pressure started: 10:20

Time now: 11:20

Pulse: 70

Temp: 36.9 C (98.5 F)

I wanted to tell you that I have had heart problems to.I was very bad for awhile

and knowing about my hypo problems but when my adrenals got very bed I also was

very scared from my pain and tightness in my heart.I also ended up in ER for my

heart pain and after EKG they told me everything was normal with my heart.After

I started the HC it took time for this issue to fade but even now 6 months on HC

and now I'm in my 13th week on T3 only some times I feel the weakness and

tightness in my heart but not to the extend it used to be.There were moments

having such a strong heart pain ,I was thinking I'm dying.I have asked on the

forum many times about my heart problem and other people have had heart problems

but never understood what helps and what causes this.I feel for you and hope

that with the help of Val you will get out of this. Remember there are other who

had heart problems and I could handle anything else but when this was going on

it scared me to dead.Try to hang there and know that this is just a temporary

while going trough the healing process.I hope you will improve soon.

Thank you so much for your reply Milena. It sounds like you've

been thru something like I am going thru now. Actually, the pressure

started 2 1/2 years ago in May 2007. This was the first day when

I undertstood something was wrong. And now it's back again.....

The pressure appears with T3-meds, but I've also felt it without

T3-meds. Could it be T3-meds doing this do me, or just the simple

fact that I need MORE T3-meds? I am on 15 mcg T3-only daily now.

What do you think, ? Do I need more HC to let this T3 into

my cells or what? Ferritin?
