Re: Hypothyroid, then be careful with iodine supplementing
I started to take some custom
Lugols ( 7 % , 99.9 pure , 40% grain alcohol , 1 mg free
Iodine with around 3 mg KI) diluted in distilled water in small quantities of 10mg 2 months ago. I take in morning with empty stomach; I eat lot of Mg in fruits etc. I also eat yogurt a lot all my life.
First I found that my lungs were more effective and my heart was very calm even when doing exercises. (Like the right ventricular was more effective with
Iodine supplement)
after around 150mg ingested, after one month I started by having a slight pinching sensation on my heart just couple millimeters far from the sternum bone, on the left.
After taking some more up to 350 mg cumulative dose for 2 months I had many upsets especially in the evenings. It happened 7 times, but last night I panicked because my heart seems to stop working in the right ventricular for around 30 seconds, I was in sweat, shaking white and in shock. But no heart pain or chest pain at all, just a very bad discomfort, a feeling of something disturbed or that the heart pulse on the right side was very weak. The void in my chest lasted all morning, Aspirin didn’t help at all. I spent most of the day in bed because it seems to help my heart. Any effort brings back the symptoms.
Very important is that these heart problems happen only when I take breaks from iodine; it seems to happen around 4 - 6 days after i stop taking iodine.
I am taking an appointment with doc today.
I really don’t feel with fever, or anything. Just this heart problem...
I also experienced a metallic taste after 1.5 month and this is when I started to take 4 - 6 days breaks of
Iodine intake.
Probably that if I am to resume iodine intake my heart will go back to normal but I won’t take it before I see a doctor.
