[QUOTE="KenLowT, post: 133289, member: 18755"] Friends, a few weeks ago I was admitted to the hospital because I was having an atrial fibrillation which is basically a rapid, irregular heartbeat. This can be dangerous, as it was explained to me, because I am at a larger risk of developing blood clots because of this condition which can lead to a stroke or heart attack. I started having these palpitations a few months ago when I started the new protocol which included DHEA & T3 for my hypothyroidism. It never really bothered me that much, but was alarming as my heart would start racing irregularly for no apparent reason. I thought I was taking too much T3 too fast. It settled down after a while, but then one night it started beating really fast and in an irregular fashion. The fact that made it different this time was that my jaw started to hurt on my left side and my left wrist started to hurt. Fortunately, I didn't have heart pain, but it was practically beating outside of my body. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with an AFib. The doctors took a ton of blood, gave me several tests, and could not figure out why I was having an AFib. That day I had drank a ton of caffeine which I believe led me to the AFib. However, in looking back I tracked what I did that day other than caffeine. My AFib started immediately after I took my fish oil supplements, DHEA, and Vitamin D. After a few weeks I started having AFib's again and realized it happened at the same time every night, right after I took these supplements. I decided to drink the supplements separately to track which one might be contributing to this condition. By the way all my blood work came back clear, no high cholesterol, no high blood pressure, my thyroid levels were great, and no blood clots. To conclude, after drinking these supplements separately I noticed no reaction from the fish oil or Vitamin D, but I DID receive a bad reaction when taking the DHEA. I take 25mg of DHEA which was prescribed to me by Defy because my DHEA level was so low at a 37. I'm writing this to see if anybody else has had irregular heartbeats or bad reactions to DHEA. I stopped taking DHEA a few days ago and I have not had any AFib's since then. To me it's proof that the DHEA was causing my irregular heart beats.
