Anyone know what would cause tachy in the AM soon after waking and would subside/relax in the evening?

It can be really pronounced for the first two hours in the morning.

Low magnesium could cause tachycardia.

Mine is that way. You may want to do a sleep study or see a cardiologist.

You may be deprived of oxygen during the night.

I get about as much magnesium as possible.

Lymetoo,

Did you get to the root of your issue?

Sleep apnea?

My cardio referred me to a pulmonologist. They are supposed to call me, but haven't yet. My Dr said they could strap me up with a pulse ox overnight to check oxygen levels.

If low, then do a sleep study.

I am taking a lot of magnesium too and using mag oil.

I also have A-fib, so it could "just" be from that.

PS.. I have no risk factors for sleep apnea except slight snoring (I'm getting old!) [Wink]

.. but my cardio said a heart arrythmia alone is a risk factor for it.

From Wiki on A-Fib:

Association with other conditions

Central sleep apnea (CSA) � A study found

that the prevalence of atrial fibrillation among

patients with idiopathic central sleep apnea was

significantly higher than the prevalence among

patients with obstructive sleep apnea or no sleep

apnea (27%, 1.7%, and 3.3%, respectively). There

was a total of 180 subjects with 60 people in

each of the 3 groups. Possible explanations for

the association between CSA and AF are a causal

relationship between the two conditions, or an

abnormality of central cardiorespiratory

regulation.[3]
