Since I'm coming onto this as both a HypoThyroid "and" Low T person it might do you some good to have your FT3/FT4/RT3 checked (Thyroid). Most doctors will NOT check these on a standard blood test/draw. All they checked was your TSH which is NOT a good representation of how/what your Thyroid levels should be "optimally". Have you ever had a 24 hour salvia test (Hypoadrenia)? Your heart palpitations/hot flashes are the exact symptom one has when they have low cortisol levels late at night/early morning. This is the time of the day/night our circadian rhythm slowly switches from lowering melatonin to raising cortisol levels. If you have Hypoadrenia (low cortisol) and the body can't produce the needed cortisol it reaches for the 2nd best hormone which is adrenaline. Adrenaline will give you heart palpitations and hot flashes (this is exactly what it did to me). Do you have fatigue in the early morning hours?
I had all those checked in the past sorry never put them up . I could see the cortisol being an issue as I dealt with anxiety for the last year or so. Some days yes I am tired when I wake up. But like I said this isn't something that happens every night. But I'll definitely look into that stuff again. Just didn't want to start trt and it becomes worse but I guess I won't know till I try thank you again .
In my experience, if you are too low T and high estrogen then heart palps, or if you are too high estrogen and T. But high T alone didn’t cause it for me. Also, working out with weights too much caused the heart palps for me. I am 48 but experienced these through the last 10 years. If you eat good meat and potatoes you shouldn’t be deficient in magnesium
I eat plenty of meat and potatoes i guess i just relate the heart palps to low Estrogen because i read some articles online about it... I am starting to think it just has to do with my anxiety. I also havent lifted weights in a good year or so basically lost all my muscle and am tiny im hoping TRT puts thats back into my routine as of right now i just have no desire or interest to do it sadly and i am withering away... I never did have these heart palps when i did work out tho and i used to mega dose pre workouts and such which i actually think brought on my anxiety/ panic attacks when it all started... but i havent touched caffine in a good year or two . i eat very clean now . Hopefully i will pin soon and feel the benefits. Thank you for your advice tho and what has happen to you atleast i can relate to it and maybe try these things out .
Yes it seemed to take me a while to dial the HRT in. I have tried everything from T with HCG with Arimidex.......to daily to twice weekly, literally every protocol. I have settled in on T 80mg twice per week with nothing else......and then cycle HCG 500IU twice per week for 4 weeks every 10-12 weeks. Let me know if I can help.
This happened to me when I was under stress that I did not even recognize. Took 3 beers to get to sleep, but I'd wake up 3 hours later with anxiety. Also started taking lorazepam, but abandoned that when I learned more about it. So for me, learning to manage my stress was the answer. Stress is a killer.
Have you been checked for sleep apnea? Reflux or hiatial hernia? I used to have terrible problems at night with PVCs/PACs. Documented with MCT and holters. Right after I fall asleep the frequency increases. Negative for SA. Stress always made it worse. Talk to your doc about propranolol before bedtime. Avoid alcohol.
