I am not sure if this is normal and just noticed it the other day because I have been getting a aching sensation in my right side of neck - right where the visible pulse is. It very well could be my thyroid aching too. I scheduled a visit with my PCP tomorrow. I was getting some chest discomfort when running too, but it was only for the first 10 minutes or so then seemed to get better. I do have other heart symptoms like palps and pain at night (infrequent). I hate going to the regular doctor.

I know what you mean about hating to go to the regular doctor.

But he/she will rule out any life threatening things and then you will feel a lot better.

I have had those horrendous pluses through my body where I was sure my husband could feel my pulse sitting next to me. He said he couldn't. But boy, I sure could.

I hope it goes away for you soon.

hmmm....So maybe it's just bc I'm so thin now. Probably just normal then. The ache may be from my thyroid.

Something to keep in mind is that we can have hyper-coagulated blood, you will see it as "thick blood" in older posts. It's Lyme that causes this to happen. There are lots of articles about hypercoagulation and Lyme disease, here's one: www.anapsid.org/cnd/diffdx/hypercoagulation.html

I would encourage you to spend some time reading on this site about thyroid testing before you go see your GP, as they rarely understand the details of thyroid testing: www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/recommended-labwork/

So many of us have thyroid issues, it's good to have these tests done if there is any concern.

I don't think I'll even mention thyroid to her bc she's tested me before and definitely is not thyroid savy. I mostly wanted reassurance that my heart or artery is ok. I have facial numbness too. I want to cancel the appt but I know it's not impossible for lyme to damage my heart. I had it checked out about 5 yrs ago when palps had started worsening and I was told I have early heartbeats, but that was it.

Always a good call to get your heart checked out thoroughly if you have concerns.

You can order your own thyroid labs if you are interested.

what antibiotics are you on again?

No abx. Only low dose of herbs, lots of supplements, clean
diet. Will probably start treatment end of June with new doc. I really don't feel all that different off abx (been about 6 wks).

k07, I think as you gradually up the herbs you will find relief. That is what happened to me.

However, if you have stress you will pulse again.

That also happened to me. I get worried (and I don't even know it) but worry nonetheless and I will feel that pulse.

Have you ever tried Kava tea? I love it. Also Bach's Rescue Remedy? Love it too.

I found that I sometimes need a little calm in the form of something. Both of those are awesome as a once in awhile dose.

So my heart rate was 130 in the office and then did go down to 115. Looks like I have to go to cardiologist. BP was good 98/68.

Sorry to hear that.

My heart rate has been intermittently high....usually when I stand up from sitting.
It would go up to the 90's and as high as 100.
Sometimes even when I'm just sitting.

The good news is it has been much better the past month...only happening on occasion.

It could be from your infections...and hopefully will start to drop as you get further into your treatment.

I'm thinking thyroid or infections (lyme, possibly bart or candida). I also had her run a labcorp western blot just because I was curious. I've been off abx for about 6 weeks but have been taking some olive leaf extract.
