Low pulse issues
-
I have a chronically low pulse. It’s usually in the 60’s, sometimes as low as 50’s. Sometimes, typically in light or after coffee, it comes up into the 70’s. In the past maybe entire year, my rising/resting pulse was above 80.
Most people say I’m hypothyroid when I tell them about my pulse problems. But the issue is I already take thyroid. I take 40 mcg T3 and 80mcg T4, both divided into 4 doses. My T3:T4 ratio is 1:2. I can’t go higher because I seem to get unhealthier with more T4. I do have a history of liver problems.
I also have a history of gut problems - I’ve got SIBO and can’t digest any fibers or starches. So I keep my diet really clean.
Do these factors indicate my thyroid treatment is ‘failing’ or it’s ineffectual? I’m not sure what to do to get my pulse up. I’m even taking ABX right now… but I guess they’re not working either?
Help or ideas much appreciated.

@Ibshaver23 Have you looked into nutrient deficiencies? Since you have a history of gut issues
