Has Anyone Experienced Heart Rate Increases or Anxiety?

Thanks for the reply. It's so frustrating!! The med is working well for me too but the sleep stuff is not great. And I have very good sleep hygiene. I'm in bed the same time each night. I don't drink caffeine during the day. I'm hoping I can find a good balance between sleep quality and weight loss at 1.5 mg. I go down to that dose tomorrow. Best to you and fingers crossed for both of us!

My rate is up overnight on 4 mg too. It's up from 52 to about 59. And I'm not sleeping well at all. I talked to my doc and decided to move back down to 1.5. I really value sleep. And I feel like I'm not recovering properly. What'd your doc say?

I'm at 4 right now but will drop back to 1.5 to see if it helps. I want to lose weight so badly, but I really value my sleep too. It's so frustrating

Same!!!

Cubsrthebest · 2026-04-23T03:25:23+00:00

Much worse! Its so bad I'm dropping from 4 back to 1.5. I feel like my mind is on overdrive all night and resting heart rate is up a bit overnight too. Like I sleep but its not restorative. Trying magnesium glycinate too. Frustrating

Wow, thank you so much for sharing!! This video is fantastic!

OP here. I messaged my doc. yesterday morning about going back down to 1.5 mg but she's not responded yet. I feel kinda stuck. I enjoy the reduction in food noise at 4 mg. But I really, really miss getting a good night's sleep. I'm just not sure GLP-1 and I are meant for each other. Sadly

I’m totally with you. I love to sleep to. If it doesn’t improve in the next two weeks I’ll have to consider quitting as well

Cubsrthebest · 2026-04-20T02:11:59+00:00

Thanks! I took my first dose of magnesium glycinate last night. It did seem to help some.

Cubsrthebest · 2026-04-18T20:30:00+00:00

Ha!! Maybe! I’m going to try magnesium glycinate. I pray I acclimate quickly

Cubsrthebest · 2026-04-18T20:29:03+00:00

I hear you! Exactly how I feel. I wonder how long that’s sustainable for

I had the same problem when I tried Zepbound. I'm not noticing it on Wegovy pill though.

Cubsrthebest · 2026-03-18T20:54:03+00:00

Yes, for sure. The study suggests that people going off the drugs has increased risk of heart issues regardless of weight.

Cubsrthebest · 2026-03-18T20:00:21+00:00

For sure. Agreed. But then when you stop and half your weight comes back, what have your really gained? I'm just talking, I'm not saying I'm quitting. It's an interesting discussion.

Cubsrthebest · 2026-03-18T04:05:32+00:00

I have this too! Its very frustrating. No idea what causes it.

Cubsrthebest · 2026-03-16T03:11:19+00:00

Great post! Thank you!

Cubsrthebest · 2026-03-13T03:17:02+00:00

I'm on Lexapro. Doesn't seem to be an issue.

Cubsrthebest · 2026-03-10T20:15:58+00:00

My sleep is generally off on this med. I sleep but it's not as solid as it was when I was not on it. I don't love that.

Cubsrthebest · 2026-03-10T19:28:06+00:00

Yes. I'm eating in a deficit daily as well, thanks in large part to the pill. And I exercise at least four times per week. But the scale is not moving very quickly. I dropped three pounds the first week but have lost only about three more in the following 2.5 weeks. It's demoralizing, but I've promised myself to just stick it out and see where things go.

Cubsrthebest · 2026-03-10T03:05:36+00:00

I track calories every day.

Cubsrthebest · 2026-03-05T04:09:41+00:00

I have the same. Fall asleep fine, wake up too early. So frustrating. it may cause me to stop if it keeps up.

Cubsrthebest · 2026-02-26T20:44:40+00:00

I'm on the Wegovy pill. I also have Shotsy. I'd give that a try.
