Mystery solved from my heart incident and the hospital
Hi all,
Just thought you may want to know, especially if you have problems with hormones, if anyone remembers back in early September after I got back from my trip to Toronto, I posted about the incident of my heart arrhythmia when I had to get to the hospital. I've copied the post again below my sig line if anyone wants to read or re-read it. I've had a couple of follow ups with my GP and more blood tests, and we now know what caused it and it was my thyroid. I've had hormonal problems on and off in my life, found out about it when I went to the doc in my early 20's after my hair started falling out. By default I'm often in hypothyroid mode, but this summer (as my doctor concludes) I went into hyperthyroid because she says sometimes it will swing in the opposite direction in order to try and balance itself out, and then it just went whacko. Now it makes perfect sense to me, In the summer I constantly had 13/16 of the hyperthyroid symptoms (listed below) - which includes a quicker metabolism, and arrhythmias that can lead to heart attacks/strokes (a whacked out electrical system, as the cardiologist put it). I lost 16 lbs in July and 14 in August. I figured I was burning so much because I was more active, and I practically felt like I was buzzing the whole time. Now I realize why. I'll post the symptoms of hypothyroid also, which is what I'm back at since the hospital ( I currently have 12/22 symptoms). And my weight loss has slowed considerably as a result despite maintaining an average 800-1000 calorie deficit and increasing exercise. It's getting frustrating but I'm determined to pull through this. There's no way I'm going to give up now. I hope this may help anyone who has hormonal problems like me. I also have a new pic up in yahoo if anyone wants a look-see.

Three weeks ago I had to call an ambulance for myself. I'll begin the day before. I felt extremely low energy, very lethargic. I had a headache and I felt nauseous and moments of dizziness and leg cramps were happening frequently. I felt like I did when I was on induction except worse. I then went pee about 5x within one hour and a half in the evening. Full bladder pee's. I knew something wasn't quite right. I fell asleep early. The next morning when I awoke, my heart was racing...really racing. Still had my headache from the day before, and I was also allot more dizzy. I felt so awful, and I literally felt like I was going to pass out. I had felt this once before earlier in the summer, but I was driving across the country so I thought it was motion sickness at the time. Well I couldn't chalk this one up to motion sickness so I knew something was seriously wrong when I found it difficult to talk and breathe. I was alone so I called 911. The paramedics, the fire guys and the police came! Yikes. I may be wrong, but I knew that police only come on the calls when they think a death will occur or has occurred. hmmm They were checking my vitals and my heart was racing between 160 - 200 beats per minute. They took me to the critical care ER pronto. (I didn't know there were two separate sections of an ER). They hooked me up to all the monitors, oxygen, and they were hydrating me with that saline IV stuff. When they were asking me their questions, I told them everything. My diet, my weight loss and smoking. They asked about my caffeine intake and drugs, I told them that I smoke pot on occasion. They didn't seem to care about that, they were more concerned if I did anything like cocaine, ecstasy or heroin. I said no, which is the truth. They did an ECG and an Echo (the ultrasound of the heart.) They also injected me with this drug that is supposed to slow down the heart beat, it didn't touch me. My heart rate was going at a steady 135 - 140 beats/minute all day while waiting for the cardiologist. (The scary part is, that when my heart slowed to 135, I felt "normal".) Finally later on near the evening, the cardiologist came and he said that they couldn't figure out why this was happening to me. He said my blood work, my chest X-Ray, my ECG and Echo showed no abnormalities with my heart. He actually said that my heart from what they could tell, was in excellent condition. Mechanically, structurally all was sound. He said he's not worried about a heart attack at all at this point, but he was worried that if my heart continues to beat this crazy, that for sure I will have a stroke. Since the medication that's supposed to slow down the heart rate didn't work, he said they would have to perform a cardioversion (those paddles they put on your chest and yell CLEAR). He said it's like my electrical system is out of whack, like they have to flip my breaker or reboot my computer, so to speak. What he meant was, they were going to have to actually stop my heart and restart it!!! I couldn't believe this was happening. So they put me under and performed the cardioversion. When I woke up my heart was beating at a normal 70 beats per minute. Btw, my blood pressure throughout the whole day was at my usual 110/70. Now that I'm back home I'm going to my doctor for a follow up on Thursday. My records have been faxed over. In hindsight, and looking over my fitday logs, my conclusion is this: I was dehydrated (obviously), I had been drinking more caffeine than my usual 1 cup in the day (since low carbing) and I had again decreased my carbs and increased my protein. I was also not drinking as much water as usual in the couple of weeks previous to this happening. Main thing was the increased coffee intake, decreased water intake, with increased protein can cause arrhythmias (increased heart rate). I have been prone to arrhythmias all my life, on occasion my heart will suddenly race, I'll take a few deep breaths and it's back to normal, no problem. But this time I knew was different because my deep breaths didn't help at all. So folks, please, especially if you're prone to the rare arrhythmia like me, don't overdo the caffeine, and DRINK YOUR WATER!!!!!!!!! Thanks for reading.

Hi Monica,
I do remember your original post. I'm glad you've figured it out. Those were scary symptoms, and how wonderful that the answer is such a straightforward one! Thanks for posting those symptoms for both hyper- and hypothyroid. I know that these disorders can often go undiagnosed for a long time. Perhaps it will help others who may be having the same experience. Good luck on getting yourself stable and continuing to lose weight. I looked at your pictures. You're doing wonderfully!
