Hello all,
I've been taking Cytomel for months now, in a dose of half a 25 mcg pill per day. Out of no where, about a week ago I started getting a racing, pounding heart at times, lightheadedness, and almost felt like I would faint.
The first time it happened I thought I had too much wine with dinner. It was horrible, but it passed. The 2nd time, it was while just standing around. The 3rd time it was in the morning while cooking. After the 3rd time (this all happened within a time period of about a week) I went to see a cardiologist who found a heart murmur & thinks I have Mitral Valve Prolapse (echocardiogram scheduled to confirm).
Did the Cytomel cause this? Has Ray Peat talked about this? I was settling into a regular Peat groove and did not expect this to happen.
Do you think Cytomel supplementation is absolutely necessary to continue seeing improvements? Are there safer alternatives? I bought a bottle of Cynoplus but never really tried it and now I'm afraid to.
I am very likely going to be stopping the Cytomel supplementation altogether - has anyone else on here stopped T3 and if so what was it like? Did the positive benefits reverse or maintain?
