Say some prayers for me this morning frens
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
Im going yo a cardiologist this morning to see if they can figure out what is going on with my racing pulse. Would appreciate it ❤️
Prayers up for you
Question is it possible you are on thyroid medication or that you might be hyperthyroid undiagnosed?
I am hypo thyroid but if I am on too high of a dose my pulse races constantly. So for child bearing age women who could get pregnant you need to be between a 1.0 to 2.0 level. The closer you get to that 1.0 level or below the more the pulse races on synthetic and armour thyroid. I was doing IVF and constantly being rechecked to find that sweet spot. There's always some pulse racing on those meds. I would assume since they make you closer to a hyperthyroid state that if you are undiagnosed hyperthyroid your pulse might be racing ....fast metabolism and all.
It races so hard and fast that when I am laying in bed at night I can feel it reverberating in our purple mattress. Freaks me out.
So Im 56, on no meds at all. I limit caffeine, dont drink alcohol. Diet could be better but its not horrible. This came out of nowhere in august. Ive always thought i have thyroid issues but I test on the low end of their stupid range. Mine has been racing while I sit and do nothing. More testing is scheduled. Ty fren
That's exactly what hyperthyroid does. What was your number
Right now my test for tsh was 1.47 but has been way down around around 53 ish
That's why your heart feels like it's racing. Just my opinion. Anytime I was below 2.0 it was noticeable. And below 1.0 it was awful
Not sure if your condition is similar to what I went through. I was trying to quit Omeprazole, which is "impossible" as many have said, but I finally managed to stop taking Omeprazole. As a result, I was getting heartburns (ofc), pulsating body and heart (feels like it's racing but it's just a lot of heavy thumping) and I felt like my blood pressure was getting high as I was getting a little woozy.
I've been taking probiotics for a while then out of the blue, I saw the prebiotics (Saccharomyces Boulardii) bottle sitting in my refrigerator. I was like, yeah fk it, let's give that a try. After a week, my heartburn went away, the racing/pulsating sensation went away and my blood pressure felt back to normal as I wasn't feeling woozy anymore.
It could be a GI issue for you, not a heart issue. When I have heartburn, my heart beats fast. Obviously I need a change in my diet, but I got it managed with both probiotics and prebiotics.
Additionally, you can try u/JohnTitor17's Vit C and Lysine protocol, that worked well for me, which got everything under control, which is why I tried quitting omeprazole soon after my BP stabilized to a great degree.
