I used to have the heart palpitaions off and on..now it is every day all day long? Anyone else have this issue? What can it be caused from? I have also been breaking out in cold sore in my nose and on my mouth alot lately? It is frustrating! The dr's say it is anxiety, but honestly it is the feeling that is causing me to be anxious! Any thoughts would be appreciated! I have had my thyroid checked and is within normal rangeTSH 1.340 Triiodothyronine Free Serum 2.8 and T4 Direct 1.04...I guess this is normal? Even checked for Hashimotos since my sister has it but the antibody test was negative. Jodie

Heart palpitations. I have them and so do others in my family. Here is what works for me. I drink one Gatorade or Propel daily. Seems to work. My dad has atrial fibrillation so when the cardiac arrhythmia specialist at Mayo told him to try this I started it too. If I stop for a week, the flutters start again so now I just always drink one a day.

A friend went to the hospital one day with a heart beat sky high. She also has a family history of this problem. Little town with a young ER doctor. They actually gave her a shot that stopped her heart from beating. The drugs effect only lasted a few seconds and her heart started again on it's own and back to a normal rhythm. He told her he could give her a drug to regulate her heart rate or she could try an over the counter potassium pill. He said potassium sometimes can help regulate the beats. This works for her.

YES! It was horrible. The heart Dr. said my heart was enlarged. He sent me to an endocronologist...... it's a long story.

It took awhile for me to figure it out, but my adrenal glands were in over drive pumping out adrenaline to control my blood sugar levels. Also I struggled with low blood pressure. I think I was low on every single vitamin there is! I went gluten free and then took it a step farther and went on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. In time all the symptoms went away. It's been a year since I started the SCD.

I didn't find a Dr. who could help me. Went to 4 specialists. It was through this website that I found answers. We are all so different - so keep working. One thing I read and found out for myself was - there is no magic pill or food that will make me feel better, it was eliminating foods that caused the symptoms.

Since you said the Dr. told you it was anxiety I'm assuming you are not anemia (iron or B-12). B-12 deficiency causes cancer sores - terribly (been there done that too!) However you could be low on other B vitamins - which can lead to a racing heart too.

Find a new Dr. - or become your own Dr. You know your body better than anyone. I pray you get relief - the heart racing cause me major anxiety!!!! I'm glad it's gone.

Your gluten free aren't you? Celiac's often have cancer sores and racing hearts.

Yes, I have been gluten free for almost 3 years now! I am very careful! But this is something that has been a struggle off and on! Other things have changed this last year. I had a hysterectomy in March, ovaries were left, but I have not been the same since! The heart thing really freaks me out! So, I know I need to keep fighting just like I had to when I was sick before finding out about having Celiac. They said I was dpressed or anxious and needed a psychologist or whatever! I could have been on any meds I wanted at that time! I am not a big vitamin person as i am so sensitive, but I have started a Cal/Mag and a B complex. Thanks for your response! I will keep on trying to figure it out!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
