First of all, please don't think I am just being a "negative person" or anything for posting this. I am NOT a negative person and I can't stand it when people are. I am just as excited as everyone else here about getting back my health that has been missing for twelve years now. (the last three and a half being the most dysfunctional!)
I just tried doing the Coenzyme Q10, only I mixed it up and did 400mg instead of 4000mg, which was advised on this board. I now thank God that I goofed that up, because tonight I had a really bad reaction to it! Yesterday I took 400mg and was fine. Tonight I did it, and shortly after, my heart started racing and I became all shaky and jittery all over.
I almost died in the hospital two months ago from drinking too much water on a regular basis for over a year (I never knew that too much water is BAD for you!) So naturally, I was afraid of another near death episode. My boyfriend was out of town so I called 911.
They came and checked my pulse and my vital signs tested above normal. They also told me to not take offense, but I was acting like a person who just took some speed or meth. I told them I FELT like a person who just took a bunch of stimulants (Only without the "fun" part of it)
After awhile I started to feel better, slowly. But what in the world? I only took 400mg! The 911 guys told me that this was 1/2 the recommended dosage, and I am also small. But why do you guys think this happened to me?
I just don't want anyone else out there to just JUMP into taking 3-4000mg of this --or high dosages of anything for that matter --without building up to it, because everyone reacts differently to everything, and you could have a scary experience like I just did.
I am NOT discouraging anyone from trying knew things, just to be smart and CAREFUL when you do! Anyone cañ tell you to take a certain dosage of something, but only your body knows what is right for you.
Now with that said, what do you guys think just happened to me???? If it is so good for the heart, why did mine go crazy tonight????
