[Question] resting heart rate up 7bpm, week 6, is that a thing
Check-in as promised in the title: resting heart rate up 7bpm, week 6, is that a thing.
The fatigue turned out to be that I was eating about a third of what I thought I was. Tracked it for a week and the mystery evaporated.
Reflux was the one that got me. Stopped eating in the three hours before bed and it went from nightly to almost never.
Would rather be corrected in public than confident in private.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Severe or persistent abdominal pain sits outside the pattern this board can usefully discuss. The honest answer there is that it needs someone who can examine you.
The pattern almost everyone here describes, written out once so it can be linked.
A step up is followed by a rough window — commonly sulphur burps arriving the day after the shot and easing by day four, worst in the first fortnight, then flattening out. At a stable dose it usually settles further. Constipation and fatigue tend to track intake and fluid rather than the compound directly, which is why the unglamorous answers work.
What sits outside that pattern: severe pain, symptoms that appear from nowhere weeks into a stable dose, or anything getting worse rather than better over a month. None of that is a board question and none of us can answer it for you.
Most of the common complaints trace back to slowed gastric emptying — early fullness, reflux, nausea after a large or fatty meal. That is also why meal size and speed change the experience more than anything else.
Keeping a log, and what to put in it.
One line a day: dose, day since injection, what the symptom was and how bad out of five, and roughly what you ate. Two months of that fits on one page and the pattern is obvious on paper in a way it never is in your head.
Mine showed a clean day-two-to-day-four window I had been describing as "random". Once you can see the pattern you can plan around it, and planning around it is most of the relief.
This one needs a clinician rather than a comment section, and we have said so in the thread rather than removing it.
This. A bad fortnight after a step is expected. A bad quarter is a reason to talk to somebody who knows your history.
Careful with the supplement recommendation. There is no evidence for it here and the mechanism you are proposing does not hold.
