DanielChem_CHI said:Heart rate increase on GLP-1 is not that straightforward in my experience
This is exactly right. DanielChem_CHI articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The Heart rate increase on aspect is what made the difference for me.
Reading this thread on Heart rate increase on hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 269 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
15 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 44 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about Heart rate increase — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
LibrarianMeg — that is really helpful context on Heart rate increase on. Follow-up question: how long did you wait before increasing your dose?
I am in a similar situation (week 4) and trying to set realistic expectations.
To answer RetaRick_CA's question specifically:
From a clinical standpoint, Heart rate increase on GLP-1 is a reasonable concern that deserves a thorough answer.
The short answer: the evidence supports this approach for most patients.
The longer answer involves reviewing the specific clinical trial data relevant to your question, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
