Heart Rate Post HCV Regimen Jan 28, 2007 What if anything should I make of this? While I was on peg/riba, my heart rate was averaging 100, with a high of 109. Now that I'm off it, I'm averaging about 79 with a high of 86. Is the high rate typical during taking the regimen, or should I look for something else as the cause of the decrease? The only thing I'm taking now is levothyroxine, since my TSH went hypo near the end of my dosing; I'm not taking any HIV meds yet. |

 The faster heart rate initially could have been related to moderate dehydration, which easily happens on interferon therapy. The slower heart rate now may be related to your hypothyroidism. | ||||||||
