Just started keto 8 days ago, and my heart is beating oddly

#1

After starting the keto diet, about 48 hours into it I couldn’t help but notice that my heart was beating a lot stronger than it was before. I can feel my heart beating in my chest, even when I’m just beet sitting at my computer for a short period of time. Although it’s by far the most noticeable when I lay down to sleep. It doesn’t hurt, but it definitely raises my concern. Does anybody know why this might be, or have experience this yourself?
Thank you!

Electrolytes some people can need up to 7000mg of sodium.

I had the same thing. I added salt to a few meals it soon calmed down

Ok great, I’ll definitely add electrolytes/salt to my daily intake! As, now that I think of it, I surely have been lacking this.
Thank you thank you
