I'm curious about any long-term effects of taking two Limcee tablets a day. I've been on them for about two months and noticed my immunity has improved a lot, so I'm thinking about continuing with them. Are there any concerns I should be aware of?

Potential Causes*

1. Anxiety and stress: As you mentioned, anxiety can contribute to an elevated heart rate and palpitations. Career and family concerns are common stressors.
2. Caffeine intake: Consuming 3-4 cups of tea per day may be contributing to your elevated heart rate. Caffeine can increase heart rate and blood pressure.
3. Dehydration: Inadequate hydration can cause an increase in heart rate. Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day.
4. Electrolyte imbalance: An imbalance of essential minerals like potassium, magnesium, or calcium can affect heart rate.
5. Hypothyroidism: An underactive thyroid gland can cause an elevated heart rate. However, this is less likely given your normal echo results.
6. Mitral valve prolapse: A condition where the mitral valve doesn't close properly, leading to palpitations and an elevated heart rate.

Next Steps

1. Consult a cardiologist: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the best course of action.
2. Reduce caffeine intake: Try limiting your tea consumption to 1-2 cups per day to see if your heart rate improves.
3. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to ensure proper hydration.
4. Monitor your heart rate: Keep track of your heart rate and palpitations to identify any patterns or triggers.
5. Consider stress management techniques: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to help manage anxiety.
