thanks guys. Still going through testing to figure out whats what. I just wasn't sure if palpitations were one of the results of the big 3. It seems gerd and a lot of other things are, but now that I know they are not necessarily a side effect I will persue more forcefully. All the other things I got from the big three have stayed with me for 2 years since stopping. The stomach cramps have stopped but the bowels are not perfect so the weight loss is constant. Had blood tests and hemotacrit and hemoglobin slightly over normal. One cause of that is low oxygen, so I thought maybe we all had the palpitations. But not the case so maybe high cholesterol or something else. thanks again

I started experiencing funny heart palpitations, so they had me wear a ZIO patch for 2 weeks, then had a radioactive isotope stress test. Thankfully it’s just tachycardia, and I am to ignore unless symptoms increase. I take Pulmicort 2x daily as an inhalant, and Gentamicin 1x daily, also as an inhalant. Have not had to start Big 3. I have m. Abscessus, MAC, MAI.
