Lifting is disastrous for me too. Makes it very bad for a couple days after, presumably whilst I am recovering. A huge shame, bodybuilding has been the hobby of my life, but I basically can't do it now without risking bad pulse/sleep issues.
I would have more eggs, but the vitamin D in them causes me issues when I start to have them on consecutive days. Could try some beef though.
The amount of vitamin D in eggs is miniscule. Though I suppose due to TRT you could be become hypersensitive to anything. You can try a pure choline supplement that way there is no other things interacting or making you worse and see how you react to that.
I had the hypersensitivity before TRT. 100iu in supplement form causes the palpition/pulse in me, it's crazy. Something about the oral form of D3 causes chaos in my body. I even made a threat about it a while back on here :Vitamin D hypersensitivity.
Maybe you need more real retinol have you tried consuming liver?
Choline should not make your issue worse and probably will improve it. Especially because as I understand it you avoid eggs so likely choline intake is quite low and you probably don't eat a ton of meat which could partially compensate.
Let us know if it improves from getting more choline in your diet.
Yeh well thats kind of the point though, OP cant get proper sleep because of the pulsing heart beat and had this for 5 years. So he can't truly rest until this gets fixed because without even decent sleep recovery is impossible imo.
Yeah I agree without good sleep recovery is very very slow if at all. I just don't think messing with choline is a fix, but he can try it out.
It does work for the POTS, doesn't mean it doesn't have side effects. Very few medications have no side effects and of course there is a better way to go about it. Increasing the availability of the two components of acetylcholine would likely be effective with little to no side effects. B-vitamins to increase acetyl-CoA synthesis, and increased choline intake via diet and supplementation.
I guess coffee fulfills that role for him. Which indeed it is cholinergic and something I don't tolerate much of and most people with panic attacks don't tolerate much of. But yes cypro will have side effects if you stay on it like spaciness. Which for me feels better than where I was at with racing mind and inability to relax. I could have written an entire book in a matter of days with the mental focus I had. I could focus on one thing for hours and hours and hours without any boredom at all because I was in a state of survival mode. Focus sucks if it's not for creativity.
It has some direct effects as well as the eventual caffeine tolerance indirectly leads to significant increase in muscarinic and nicotinic receptors in the brain:

Thanks redsun. I am finding a lot of relief just not researching about my health haha.It has some direct effects as well as the eventual caffeine tolerance indirectly leads to significant increase in muscarinic and nicotinic receptors in the brain:
Chronic Caffeine Alters the Density of Adenosine, Adrenergic, Cholinergic, GABA, and Serotonin Receptors and Calcium Channels in Mouse Brain
1. Chronic ingestion of caffeine by male NIH strain mice alters the density of a variety of central receptors.2. The density of cortical A[1] adenosine receptors is increased by 20%, while the density of striatal A[2A] adenosine receptors is unaltered.3. ...
"The densities of cortical β1 and cerebellar β2 adrenergic receptors are reduced by ca. 25%, while the densities of cortical α1 and α2 adrenergic receptors are not significantly altered. Densities of striatal D1 and D2 dopaminergic receptors are unaltered. The densities of cortical 5 HT1 and 5 HT2 serotonergic receptors are increased by 26–30%. Densities of cortical muscarinic and nicotinic receptors are increased by 40–50%. The density of cortical benzodiazepine-binding sites associated with GABAA receptors is increased by 65%, and the affinity appears slightly decreased. "
I used to be in a very similar state actually and I remember it was rough oftentimes unbearable. Hope you find long-lasting improvement.
Haven't taken either of those but tried a choline supplement after making this thread. It made it worse, as most supplements do.
So I tried L-lysine which is eNOS inhibitory. It reduced some aspects of the pulse sensation, in a manner that I would expect from blocking vasodilation. However, in my head, I can still feel the oomph of the pulse which I believe is due to high cardiac output/blood volume per stroke.
