Heart rate

[Dshadzz07]

So I’ve been noticing my heart rate dropping between 50-60 at rest at the moment. I’m not particularly like fit and healthy like an athlete so I don’t know if my thyroid could be affecting this or should I be worried about it.

Looking at previous posts

You had dose increase in levothyroxine roughly a month ago

Your body is getting ready for next dose increase in levothyroxine

Have you got blood test booked in for 6 weeks after last increase

ALWAYS Test thyroid levels early morning, ideally before 9am if you can get appointment (say work commitments mean you need early appointment)

Remember last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

Which brand of levothyroxine are you currently taking

Oh so do you recommend to up my dose mid June then? After my bloods tests ofc as I’m currently taking 75mg

Highly likely to be ready for next increase to 100mcg after 6-8 weeks on just 75mcg
