Nutri Adrenal

I have been having so much trouble trying to find a way of increasing my thyroxine. Ffinally trying T3 by reducing my T4 to 75 and adding 3 x 1/4 T3 but I was still getting the rapid pulse and irregular heartbeat for about 15 minutes, then I tried 100 and 3x 1/4 T3 but yet still getting really frightening rapid and irregular pulse in the late afternoon and early evenings.

I have gone back to 125mcg T4 and for a couple of days I have taken 1/4 tablet of T3 (25s so 6.25mcg) but still have the problem in the afternoon/evening. I know that previously I was on 150 and felt perfectly OK but now I am a bit frightened that I could trigger a heart attack since my heart is enlarged. I know that on 125 I am still actually undertreated but I have that fear of overdoing it.

I am taking COQ10 in an effort to strengthen my heart, and vitamin B12 (Methyl).

It has been suggested it could be adrenals after 7 years of under-treatment, so my question is this: Is it safe to take Nutri-Adrenal or is it essential to test first? I am really struggling here. Any help or suggestion would really be appreciated.

I would still advise to have an Adrenal Saliva Stress Test if you haven't done so already.

You can confirm how your adrenals are functioning over 24 hrs.

Not what you're looking for?
