Hi Douglas,

A normal pulse rate is anything between 60 and 100, so I'm not sure what you mean by "palpitations" if your pulse is 88.

I'm a little puzzled as to your reasons for posting here, as you seem to have no interest in low carbing. Do you realise this is a low carbing board? Our General Health forum is for health situations that pertain to low carbing.

If you are interested in following a low carb lifestyle, check "Which low carb plan is right for me?" to the right of the screen.
