And im young so they don't do EKGs or stress test or anything. That's why she wants to rule the thyroid issue out first. And get my magnesium and potassium checked among other stuff before thinking its RSD related. It could be a number of things! Its been going on for several months so that's why I finally said something because it hadn't stopped and other symptoms have started to come up aswell. Im thinking its most likely the RSD. I also think the RSD can throw your levels out of balance, potassium, magnesium etc.. because I didn't have any of those issues until the RSD had progressed. Which is why I think its possible that it is an auto immune disorder, even though they haven't been able to prove it yet.

How old are you? They can order EKG w/stress test for anyone having symptoms of unexplained tachycardia if they want to. It's just at a certain age insurance covers certain things as a preventative care instead of doing it because of an issue, like in your case.
Are you soaking in epsom salt baths to increase your magnesium?
