What Causes Heart Palpitations While On A Leptin Diet?

I have prediabetes. I ve been following a leptin diet for three weeks and fairly low carb. My blood pressure has reduced from 140/80 to 113/61. My blood sugars have come down dramatically but I m getting heart palpitations. Not fast or irregular just strong and I m aware of them especially at night. I feel less anxious than before as I m not so worried about my blood sugar anymore. I have hashimotos and am overweight. I m not drinking masses of water but do drink enough. One tea a day.

Probably you have some heart palpitaion of no consequence, but as you have Hashimoto you have to check TSH hormone. And if you feel anxious, you have to do an ECG and consult a cardiologist.
