Heart palpitations

[Chris]

I have been having a "flutter" this week. I had my first two Rituxin infusions followed by IVig infusion.
I feel pretty good. Just wondering if anyone has heart palpitations ?

That's a lot to take on in one week.  I'd call you doctor and let them know.  Might not be anything bad, but it could be sign of a problem.

Ditto to Anita,

As always,

Please see your doctor. Also check for interactions, counterindications, and side effects.

At 46 it could be anything. I get mine from the Graves, but also as some pre-meno issues. This week I also had them bad. What helps me is bioidentical estro, about 1/4 inch cream and they would go away. However, you had the IVIG, so it could be that too.

Palpitations: Three years ago I started getting them with a Hashimoto's flare, and then I stupidly ate lots of seaweed (the type was very, very high in iodine) for a couple weeks. This sent my thyroid into high gear and my heart into repeated episodes of Afib. (all stabilized and good now)

Hope you can have thyroid and cortisol levels checked, and I hope you feel better soon!

Yes. to what Callie said about Hashimoto's.  I have elevated heart rate if my thyroid is off.

You had a lot going on in a short period of time.  Hope it resolves for you soon.

Thank you all!
My doc thinks it may be from the medrol (pre med)?maybe, but I have been getting this for Ivig since Feb. Maybe I got a higher dose with Rituxin.
It is worse when I lie down? So weird!
