Heavy heart beat

[Mike9876]

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.

Also check hematocrit. My BP went up with the thicker blood along with elevated E2, so I don't know exact cause or maybe a combo of the 2. I had similar symptoms.

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.
