I have Afib with RVR. What has been your experience been with increased heartrate from Reta?

[Ted R]

Has anyone that had this the jump in RHR on R3ta stayed the course and had your RHR come back down over time? I ask because mine jumped from upper 60s to 120 over the first few hours and has gradually come down to 105 over a few weeks. If I give up on R3ta, I am going to T1rz which hasn't had the RHR side effect but doesn't have the added GCG agonist that R3ta does. I would rather stay the course if at all possible

This is the biggest increase in RHR that I have heard about. Being consistently over 100bpm RHR would concern me. Make sure you are staying in sinus rhythm. Don't want to stroke out due to afib.

Absolutely on top of that and watching. This is more of a flutter. Stable rhythm and steady, but faster than normal. I'm about to call it and switch over to T1rz thaat doesnt have the cardiac side effect issues

Please report back on your survodutide experience please. I’m reading it acts like Reta minus increased heart rate. Curious to hear from those that have tried it.

I saw a suggestion on another discussion to do the Tirz, which has a light GLP-1 and a strong GIP , but no GCG agonist. Then add on a small dose of Survo which has a strong GLP-1, no GIP, and a good GCG, and no RHR side effects. Interesting.

I had atrial flutter before a cardiac ablation back in May, started Tirz in late-July it raised my HR about 10bpm on average. In Feb, I did a slow swap from Tirz to Reta and just went to 5mg reta and last small dose of Tirz was three weeks ago. My non-RHR seems to be 5-10bpm higher this week. Mid-80's to mid-90's most of the day and RHR is up a couple of BPM. I am going to drop back to 4mg to see if I can get it to go back down. I am now in maintenance so I have the flexibility to play with the dose.

Sounds like you are doing all the good!

i'll stick with my big ass prostate.

This is what I’d do if looking to add to Tirz. Or small dose of Sema.

i do like survo

I wasn't concerned initially concerned about Reta & increased heart rate but now I'm wondering. I plan on starting my Reta soon, but kind of concerned since my RHR is average between 86-90. I may have to re- evaluate.

I have afib w/rvr and my heart rate has not increased at all.

I should explain a bit. Got the first episode in July 2017. Had an ablation in October that year. Was already taking propranolol 160 for migraines and anxiety. Then in November of 2021, had a second attack. The cardiologist started me on flecainide and I’ve been good since. My Heart rate doesn’t seem to react much to drugs tho- I had to wait to take propranolol, was titrated up because my resting heart rate has always been in the 50’s. Well, aside from the episodes of afib before the ablation and in November ‘21. I just checked my heart rate and I lied. It’s now low 60’s apparently. 63. But yeah, my heart rate didn’t jump that much.

 

[raw_oyster_eater]

higher heart rates mean your heart is working harder.

do you want to do that with a bad heart?
