Raised heart rate

[alison38]

Hi There,

Has anyone here experienced a raised heart rate and feeling really hot?

I've had this a few times on and off since low carbing. Last night I was really quite worried because my heart was racing and I could really feel it beating too strongly (if you've experienced it you'll know what I mean).

This was while resting so it wasn't due to exercise. My resting pulse is normally about 65 but last night when I took my pulse it was racing at 92! Also felt really overheated.

At the same time I've been feeling really turned off by meat, cheese, eggs etc and wanting really un-rich food instead the last few days. I should add that generally I would say I'm moderately low carbing- not induction levels at all and I eat masses of vegetables.

I don't know what's going on but I am a bit worried. Any ideas/suggestions anyone?

...sounds almost like a hot flash (but you're too young for those :thup: ) or a niacin flush. Are you taking any supplements?
