I’ve been on nature throid for about five years and keto for one year. The last few weeks I’ve been having a lot of heart palpitations. I am a 55 year old female. I get my thyroid checked every three months and it checks out fine. Wondering if being keto is somehow influencing this and wondering if anyone else has ever had this issue. BTW, my electrolytes are fine. I supplement with magnesium, potassium, and sodium. Anybody?

I’ve been taking synthroid for nearly a decade. I started out at a low dose, but gradually increased and my dosage has stayed the same for years. Before keto, my TSH was at 4.4. Since starting restricted calorie keto in January of 2017, my TSH level has been trending downward and is now 2.1. On my next doctor visit, I may ask about reducing the dosage.

Here’s mine - not on any thyroid meds. I did wonder if I had a thyroid issue. Nope - just a slow loser.
