Unfortunately, your girl was admitted BACK to the hospital yesterday because I was still having the same issues again! ๐ฉ BUTTTT this time, VIP was ruled out, and the doctor actually feels that it may have aggravated an underlying issue that was already there. So what did they tell me? RESTING TACHYCARDIA. ๐ Basically, resting tachycardia means your heart rate is staying higher than normal while youโre at restโlike when youโre sitting, relaxing, or sleeping and your heart is supposed to be chilling but decides it wants to run a whole marathon. ๐๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐จ The doctor explained that GLP-1 medications can sometimes cause an increase in resting heart rate, which is one reason your healthcare provider may keep asking about your heart rate, pulse, and blood pressure while youโre taking them. For ME, with my dose increasing this week AND introducing something new into my routine, it looks like my body basically said, โMaโamโฆ ABSOLUTELY NOT.โ ๐๐ That triggered the increased heart rate, which then made me anxious, which made my heart rate go EVEN HIGHERโฆ which made it harder to sleepโฆ which made me more anxiousโฆ and BAM ๐ฅ โ the ultimate domino effect. ๐ฉ So they admitted me, hooked me up to what felt like EVERY MACHINE UNDER THE SUN ๐, monitored me, ran ALLLLLL the testsโฆ and yโallโฆ EVERYTHING CAME BACK PERFECT!!! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ They couldnโt find any other underlying issue, and your girl is healthy as can be! PRAISE THE LORD!!!! ๐๐ฝ๐ Because of all of this, Iโve decided to drop the Reta altogether for now and stick with my trusty girl Tirz while I give my body a little BREAK. The doctor said I CAN still go back to the gym โ YAYYYYY! ๐ฅณ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ โ BUT Iโm taking the rest of this week off just to be safe and let my body settle down. THANK YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH for the prayers, messages, love, and well wishes. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ I truly, truly appreciate every single one of you more than you know! Iโll be using today to catch up on DMs, get these orders packed that have been sitting, and slowly get myself back into my normal routine.
