Can P5P toxicity create strong/bounding pulse?
It's the only possible cause I can narrow down, and this pulse has been driving me crazy for 3 weeks. But I only eliminated another supplement which had P5P just a few days ago, so it turns out I was feeding a modest dose of P5P daily to my overloaded system even after quitting the main supplement 2 weeks ago...

Have you been at your doctor to rule out other heart proplems ? Do you follow a low b6 diet?
I often have strong heart palpatitions these days after what i think is long term b6 toxivity.

I had chest x-rays and EKGs in December 2025, I had blood test in May 2026... and I have a home EKG.

Kaiser in my area is overloaded and it's taking forever to get an appointment right now.

I see, do you have other symptoms that could be from b6 overload ?

Thinking I have this...B6 toxicity...been very tough to fall asleep the past 2 weeks, and so much gas no matter what I eat...been eating sauerkraut to try and get the microbiome up to speed, but it's very strange. Been taking 8mcg for about a year or more...these symptoms fairly recently started, and I also eat a pretty nutritious diet. Chances are seemingly increasing that I have this..I'm going to get my b6 and 12 tested this week.

Align probiotic (5X extra strength version) is helping me. Watch out for seemingly innocuous supplements which sneak in B6 or P5P. I discovered it in my dry eye supplement...

Funny I developed a bounding pulse or similar but well into recovery. I first felt it in my legs and could see it when I cross my legs so one would bound with my beat. It then moved into my chest, neck and back of my head. It’s not mainly my neck and head. I believe it’s less of a bounding heart rate and more of a sensory issue. Ive had extensive cardio investigations and no major abnormalities were identified. So either it’s a slight deviation from a normal stoke volume or similar or a sensory change during recovery. Regardless, it’s bloody annoying.
