Too Much Cortisol, Revisited

[Guest guest]

Could a booming, racing heart and fast resting pulse (75-80, when historically

it's been 60)

be indications of too much Cortef? How about general high anxiety? Naturally,

BP is up, too.

My saliva tests basically show a cortisol flatline and my doctor has encouraged

an increase

from 5-10 mgs daily to 15-20 mgs until I have the fatigue under control. I

wonder about

my tolerance, however, as I have never had such consistent chest pressure,

shortness of

breath, and all the above mentioned. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am

also a bit on the

hyperthyroid side, and in the process of lowering my T4 dosage. I feel like

the more I tinker,

the worse it gets.

If you are on T4 only your body is starving for T3 and THAT is what is

causing thee symtoms.

Thanks for your reply, and sorry, forgot to mention that I also take

10 mcg of T3 (Cytomel) daily.
