- People who are touchy.......feign indignation at the slightest thing. Hypocrites, bullies and cowards.
I see from your profile that you take Thyroxine ? If this is so were you aware that it has a number of side effects.........dependent on the dose.
It might be worth discussing this with your GP as there are a number of things which can cause palpitations, including :
Strong emotions
Vigorous physical activity
Medicines, such as diet pills and decongestants
Caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and illegal drugs
Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid disease or anemia

Was this a one-off or is it every-time you inject dingbat? Had it been a one-off then it may well have been a hypo or something in your food/drink, if it's after every injection then you really do need to see your gp as Ken suggests.

Hi Dingbat, r u on Lantus?
I started getting palpitations after being on it for a year. The reason I ask is that I am one of the many unfortunate people who had many problems with Lantus- exhaustion, pain, etc; and unfortunately the palipitations seem to be a long-lasting side-effect for me,even though I came off it 2 1/2 yrs ago. I was taken to hospital on 3 occasions with chest pain and unexplained rapid heart-rate on Lantus, and I've since found I'm not alone in my experience. I've no other underlying health issues and never experienced anything like it before Lantus.
I very much doubt Sanofi would still be peddling it,if they were forced to list every god-awful side-effect, but there are plenty, trust me.

Thanks for the responses. I've been on thyroxine for a while with no problems. consultant told me to increase my lantus by one unit every 2-3 days until my bg was between 4and 6. iwas on 5 units and I did as I was told until I was taking 18 units. bg still around 10 first thing. it made no obvious difference to my bg levels except i was getting palpitations quite badly 8-10 times a day. I've since taken it on myself to reduce the units to 10 and palpitations have reduced. I still get them a bit particularly after injecting 5 units of nova rapid after meals.
