Heart palpitations on low carb

[Celestia26]

I've been on low carb about 2 weeks, and have been getting heart palpitations the last week. Has anyone else experienced this, and when did it go? It feels like my heart 'flips' occasionally and it also feels like a pulled muscle in my chest sometimes. My diet is very healthy, lots of salad and vegetables, fish meat and good fats. In fact I eat far better now than I did before. Wondering if this is normal and temporary......? Thanks

Could be muscle spasm. Take some magnesium tablets. Get checked out by doctor to be safe.

Sorry - have just seen this. This is a well-known side effect of low carbing - but the good news is it's usually only temporary, until your body gets used to it. So hopefully you're OK now!
