[QUOTE="stlstudent, post: 116595, member: 12108"] UPDATE: So I promised my wife that if these palpitations did not subside by yesterday (Wednesday) that I would go get checked out. During the span of these palpitations (July 18 - Current) I had blood work done on the morning of the 20th through discountedlabs.com and then donated blood to the Red Cross as usual to help with hematocrit. My palpitations did not subside so I called my family physician who advised I go to Convenient Care. There they drew blood and did an EKG. After a quite a bit of wait, they came in and said a particular Dr wanted to see me...in the Emergency Room! So I drove over and they admitted me quickly, drew more blood, did an EKG and started me on IV fluids, and did a chest X-Ray. After more time waiting, the Doc told me the EKG at that time looked good, no signs of clots or heart attack, x-rays looked good and blood work looked good. So they wrote it off as normal/harmless palpitations and wanted me to follow up with a Cardiologist (scheduled already for August 1). I honestly came away more confused than I did with answers. I was hoping for something bad but at least wanted some type of number to be 'off' to explain what was going on. I've since got my DiscountedLab.com results back along with hospital's and these are the basics: (LabCorp/Hospital) Total T: 614/NA Free T: 33.4/NA RBC: 6.11/5.94 HMGLB: 17.6/16.7 HMTC: 51.4/50.6 TSH: NA/3.43 Free T4: NA/0.86 So there does not seem to be any real glaring numbers or changes there as that is where I usually am (TSH is usually a little lower but I stopped thyroid compounded as I thought it was the trigger) So the mystery remains.....at least the Docs were not super critical of HRT as long as it was carefully regulated [/QUOTE]
