@lp30 I am a 70-year-old woman with an early subtotal hysterectomy (one ovary removed and the other was left a small part of it) at age 34. A month ago, I went through rigorous consultation with my cardiologist, and he cleared me for HRT/ transdermal estradiol \/patch starting with the smallest dose, 0.025 mg, and going up to 0.05 mg if my heart and blood pressure are OK. I started Teriparatide/Forteo 2 days ago. Currently, I am experiencing "heavy chest" after each injection, and my blood pressure is a little bit high. I think this is a Forteo side effect and hope to adjust to it.

@md79 I hope the Forteo gets better for you soon! I’m on Tymlos which is similar; I felt a racing heart in the beginning but did adjust. I inject when I wake… A small snack first and exercise (sounds counterintuitive) after seemed to help. I hope your dr keeps in good touch with you if you feel anxious. Not sure about “Heavy” chest- but do keep daily track of the symptoms so you can reach out sooner than later. I took about 10 days to get over side effects but I know everyone is different. Wishing you all the best!!
