@osteopatient2026 Do you know algaecal product, offers calcium one bottle and strontium in second bottle? Many on Tymlos say blood pressure drop after shot can be bad w vertigo and rapid heartbeat. I hear the company is good about Zooming other patients to help you get used to using. I’m a widow now so no one at home to help, wd have to do it myself, chicken about that, maybe cd learn. Live way out in country.

Yes they were great with help on the first injection.
My BP is 90/60 so I was very worried about that as well. But didn’t experience anything dramatic.
It did go down but only briefly for 10-15 minutes. Some people report it is up to an hour or so. But the numbers reported are the limits of what has been reported. Most (90-95%) I read said don’t have that extreme.

Next the fast HR …yes it is stimulating your Parathyroid so a “fight or flight response” on the sympathetic nervous system …my HR is usually around 55-60 (I was a runner) it went up to 90-95 for about 20-30 minutes then began coming down. Deep breathing helped with that. Relaxing. You can easily increase your heart rate just with the anxiety…I certainly had a boat load of that.
Hydrate for 3 days and everyday. During some electrolytes (not just water …that actually just flushes out your system.
You can drink a glass of water 1/2 before and some after 15-20 minutes or more. This will help with the dizziness or vertigo which I also have major issues with.
Don’t consume calcium 1 1/2 hour before or 4 hours after you injections. That helps prevent or minimize the temporary nausea you might feel a few days in.
All this was just the few weeks till my body adjusts.
For me so far so good.
I hope this helps.
