Hi Everyone,

My circulation is compromised with a high pulse. My blood pressure is normal, so reg. heart meds. do not work for me. I was put on them a couple years ago and my blood pressure really droped to dangerious levels. Well anyway, I was wondering if anyone has tried this or heard of it before?Big Hugs, Roz xxx

Hi Roz,

Great to see you posting again. No, never come across this - it looks like a souped-up (selective) version of the electrolyte drinks you can buy here in any 711 - they're very popular in HK, specially a Japanese one called Sweat - seriously...

all the best

I have never heard of these, but they look like they would be great to take!

I opened this thread and was interested because as of late I've had a high pulse, but my blood pressure has been normal. My circulation is awful due to the RSD, and my skin is constantly stone cold to touch... all RSD related, but I wonder if these electrolytes would help with the bad circulation due to RSD?

Roz, do you know if your high pulse is from the RSD? Or did it come on about that time?

Believe it or not, my endo told me the best source of electrolytes if you are low....Pedialyte. Go figure. I have not tried it yet. But I also often have high heart beat and normal blood pressure. No one knows.

I do remember a post on the subject in the TOS forum. It alluded that it cold be the compression from the TOS.

what are your heart rates - approximately?
Is it consistently fast or fluctuates?

I had a weird thing happen last spring- had very quick flashes of dizziness, and they would last longer - then my heart rate would increase too.
Blood pressure stayed normal.

When I checked both heart rate and BP on a store machine {4X} rate was at mid 80s - I could feel the beating was much faster than normal- plus the dizzy spells that came on at the same time.

I finally went in to see a NP and after blood tests and exam the symptoms then faded away.
none since, NP suggested a odd virus of some sort.

[Measuring the pulse can give very important information about the health of a person. Any deviation from normal heart rate can indicate a medical condition. Fast pulse may signal the presence of an infection or dehydration. In emergency situations, the pulse rate can help determine if the patient's heart is pumping.

The pulse measurement has other uses as well. During exercise or immediately after exercise, the pulse rate can give information about the fitness level and the health of a person.

Normal Values Return to top

For resting heart rate:

* newborn infants; 100 to 160 beats per minute
* children 1 to 10 years; 70 to 120 beats per minute
* children over 10 and adults (including seniors); 60 to 100 beats per minute
* well-trained athletes; 40 to 60 beats per minute

What abnormal results mean Return to top

Resting heart rates that are consistently high (tachycardia) may indicate a problem, and you should consult a health care provider. Discuss resting heart rates that are below the normal values (bradycardia) with a health care provider.

Also, discuss a pulse that is very firm (bounding pulse) and that lasts for more than a few minutes with the health care provider. An irregular pulse can also indicate a problem. (See heartbeat sensations.)

LOL...so I went out and followed by own advice or my endo's...bought some pedialyte and not so bad. Lately I have been having a lot of leg cramps and IBS like issues. Was thinking maybe my electrolytes might be off due to some dehydration. So lets see if it helps.

I suggest the fruit flavor. YUm...where was this stuff when I was a kid. I was definitely deprived.
