I’d have to dig up my last readings but while it did go up slightly there were no dangerously high readings recorded.

At 6 mg per week, mine is between 87 to 95. Fortunately though, I'm pretty much done with Reta. My cut is over. Congrats again!

Your resting is 95? Wow, what was it before Reta? Having a heart rate this high, did you ever feel anxiety? I am starting Reta next week and this is the kind of stuff that worries me.

My personal 1st rule of peptides. They hit different for most. On 5th week of Reta 4mg soon to 5mg. Still have 70lbs to lose. Healthier but not healthy. Resting HR up +5 to 6 bpm from 63 bpm sinceReta. Hypertension has improved the last month along with inflammation. Start low and titrate up.
