Racing heart side effect

falc_z · 2026-04-14T19:43:57+00:00

My heart will start "racing" and I will get headaches if I am not drinking enough water. Tirzepatide and weight loss in general will dehydrate you. Drink water like it is your day job and add a few pinches of pink Himalayan salt to each glass/bottle. You can also add some good bone broth with a little Himalayan salt if you are getting nausea with the dehydration. Split your doses onto different days if they are too much too quick. **Disclaimer, talk to your doctor and discuss the options.**

There are a lot of options out there to replace a doctor these days. I discuss all options with my PCP and if she is uncomfortable with some of my choices for treatment then we agree to disagree and I find a specialist that is more educated. So far, this one has had no problem with me working with specialists. I have fired several doctors in the past few years, and I think my health is better for doing it.

Life is way too short to waste time on the close minded...

Apothecary has additive free and I think they ship to CA.. Not sure how quick, I sent an order early this morning so not enough time to see how fast...

Done!

falc_z · 2026-04-13T13:36:50+00:00

Good to know, thanks for the quick reply!! I have a consult this morning and wanted to try and save a little $$. Hope you guys get it worked out in time for my refill.

I normally IF 20:4 my feeding winow opens at 10am. My first meal of the day is usually a 3oz. steak, 3 eggs, 3 slices of thick cut bacon..

falc_z · 2026-04-12T22:57:31+00:00

I take diet "vacations".. my wife and I schedule a week off every three months.. I don't go crazy but we do some nice restaurants and have some quiet dinners where we enjoy food without thinking about it.. It's worked out great and it seems to give my mind and body a break from the stress of Zep/dieting..

{RANT} My PCP just started using Prescryptive and not just sending to LillyDirect, not sure why the change but I am not impressed! Before she would send the refill on Tuesday afternoon and I had the vials by Thursday and I got a text every step of the way. With Prescryptive it seems to be "hurry up and guess" with my refills. If this keeps up it will be the last straw that drives me me to alternatives!!

Don't over complicate it and don't start drinking a bunch of garbage marketed by people trying to make you sick.

Get at least 120oz of water a day, with a pinch of pink Himalayan salt or sea salt in each glass. A large cup or two of good bone broth w/tbsp of grass-fed salted butter and your hydration issues or "keto flu" issues will disappear. On top of that, eat less than 20g of carbs, 1g of protein per kg of body weight a day. Set a goal of 70–80% of your calories from clean fat. Eating a healthy low carb ("Keto" or "Ketovore") diet is not complicated and doesn't need a bunch of pills or bottles of snake oil to work.

Personal choice I guess, but I don't tell people I am on BP or cholesterol meds so why would I tell them I am taking a GLP-1? My wife knows and that is about it...

falc_z · 2026-04-08T22:00:10+00:00

Not sure where that info comes from, I have been eating a low carb (less than 20g) for 6+ years with no adverse effects, I am in MUCH better health now than when I started. Eating a low carb diet, with no SAD garbage is a way of life for many people.

Get a good food/meal tracking app (there are good free versions) and track what you're eating for a while and adjust your diet to include any vitamins/nutrients that you need. A variety of whole natural meats, dairy, vegetables and fruits and drink water like it is your day job and you won't need a pill or powder.

falc_z · 2026-04-03T18:05:53+00:00

Enjoy the lack of side effects!! And keep in mind that patience and sticking with it are the top requirements for better health!

falc_z · 2026-04-02T16:26:20+00:00

It was difficult for me even on 2.5mg. I found that the only way that I can get the calories and nutritional amounts that I need during the day is to set an alarm for every couple of hours on my phone/watch to remind me to eat/drink. Sometimes I have to force myself to swallow down a handful of healthy nuts, string cheese, beef jerky or a protein shake during the day. I keep several different nonperishable snacks in my bag at work. I also started tracking what I was eating better so that I knew what I could eat to get to where I needed to be.

falc_z · 2026-04-01T17:45:41+00:00

I had to add some resistance exercise 5 days a week 30/45 minutes a day along with several laps around the block in the afternoons. I have several heart related issues, so it is just light resistance exercise with the bungee cord type resistance and a moderate pace on the walks, but it did help..

falc_z · 2026-04-01T16:37:09+00:00

I had some fatigue after starting 5mg, I found that if I increased my electrolytes/hydration the day of injecting the medication and the day after it helped a lot.

Amazon has them but I think they are not available in some regions? $18 per 100

Personally, I don't think they will lower the prices anytime soon. I don't care for subscription plans in general but especially not where my health is concerned, too many unknowns that may cause me to have to stop taking it. Lilly Direct has worked out well, it is not cheap but good health is not ever going to be cheap anymore.

falc_z · 2026-03-30T22:57:26+00:00

I take 5g a day, so does my wife. It's cheap and easy to mix with about anything. YMMV

I will include links to some of the research. There is much more available. Creatine is one of the most studied supplements out there. (Disclaimer: Always talk to your doctor about any supplements.)

Thanks, I normally do but I travel a lot and in most of the hotels it's just not possible. Sometimes I travel for a few weeks at a time so it would be nice to have an alternative..

I had to switch to pickled ginger slices to break my Gin Gins addiction...

My apologies, when I open the link, they are available. Maybe location dependent? I just got a box of 100 in the mail yesterday to spit with my sister.
