Heavy heart beat

Since being on TRT, one thing that I've noticed is that I can often, if not always, 'feel' my heart beating in my chest. Also, my heart rate is higher. I can feel my heart beating quite strongly in my chest. Before TRT, my resting heart rate was 55-60. Now whenever I've checked it, it's usually 70+

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
 
You need to manage estrogen, I get the same issue with heart palpitations when estrogen is higher or lower, blood pressure is also affected. When estrogen rises so to does your heart rate, control estrogen, control your heart rate.

This is a sign your estrogen is too high for you.
 
I get this too but I have a minor heart condition so it's hard to see which-is-which but I do notice I feel better in that regard when my E is lower.

How long after starting TRT should you wait to have the estradiol sensitive test done?
 
Many people on TRT have low iron and ferritin. Low iron levels can raise one's heartbeat.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
