Question : Hi, I was recently on a trip and my bio indentical hormones were stolen. Remote location, unable to replace, so didn't take them for a week. Then came home took regular dosage last night and took another dose this morning thinking that I should double the dosage to build it back up in my system. I have had a racing heart rate, almost like an anxiety attack, all day. Is this a common symptom?

Brief Answer: Yes, symptom may be due to increased hormones Detailed Answer: Hi, I had gone through your query and understand your concerns. Please let me know the hormones you are taking. The effects depends on the hormone you are taking. The dosage of the hormones will be fixed and even if you skip (try not to skip dose) single dose, the next dose should be similar to normal dosage or else if you take more dose then there will be symptoms due to increase in hormone levels. Usually with time the hormone level will come to normal and your symptoms will disappear. So no need to worry much. If your symptoms are severe or worsens then I suggest you to consult a physician and examined once. Otherwise be relaxed. Hope this answers your query.
