[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1911856, member: 401801"] Heart murmur, palpatations, and irregular heartbeat here, from time to time. Usually it's either to do with my low blood pressure, bloodsugars (too high or too low) or I forgot my thyroid meds, and my body is making me pay for being a forgetful nitwit. The murmur, well... I'm assuming it's a leaky valve, which in all likelihood I've always had. But not so bad as to see a cardiologist for it. If you're cutting back on carbs, your headaches could be coming from a little bit of carb-detox, called keto- or carb-flu... Though if you're having spuds, even little ones, I doubt that's it. The headaches and the palpitations could be caused by the metformin, (metformin is also associated with hypomagnesemia) but then, again, it could be solved by ditching the carbs and getting such good control you can get rid of the metformin, or, of course, you can ask for different meds, if the heartissues persist. There's loads out there. So don't give up just yet. There are options. [/QUOTE]
