RHR elevated on Reta?

Hong Kong Yanpep International
Elevated RHR on Reta is the glucagon receptor component doing its job - glucagon raises heart rate as part of its metabolic effect, and at higher doses it's the piece that pushes RHR up even as weight drops. The tradeoff is whether the fat loss and metabolic benefit outweighs the cardiac load for you specifically.
 
Taurine at 2-3g is worth trying before making protocol changes - it addresses the cardiac excitation pathway directly and most people report RHR dropping back within a day or two of adding it.
 
10bpm up at 5mg is within the usual range and tends to stay rather than self-correct - the taurine approach in this thread is the most common response and seems to work faster than people expect.
 
Low 70s to mid 80s on the RHR at a few weeks in is right in the range people describe. For someone with low blood pressure baseline, the bump is noticeable but not a danger signal at mid 80s. 28 lbs down in the OP alongside that change is still a clean result. Did your RHR stabilize at any point or does it stay elevated consistently?
 
Titrating from 2mg up to 10mg by January and then coming back down to 5mg is useful context for the RHR question. The OP's elevated RHR at a consistent dose is worth tracking against where they started - RHR often rises slightly at higher doses and tends to normalize when the dose backs down. What did your RHR look like at 10mg compared to now at 5mg?
