Brief Answer:
Increased insulin resistance delaying heart recovery

Detailed Answer:
Hello

After going through the details provided by you I would like to tell you that as your other parameters are within good limits, the possibility which I could think of in your case could be a part of increasing insulin resistance which is causing a delayed heart rate recovery.

So it's advisable that you should consult your physician personally and discuss this possibly. I would like to check your blood glucose profile including HbA1c testing.

Also I will like to advise a thyroid profile test also as you are taking nature thyroid also which is a kind of thyroid supplement and could be a possible cause of your concern.

I hope this information will guide you on a right path. If you have any more query you can ask me back or else close the discussion and kindly rate the answer.

I wish you good health.
