My Uvula Feels Huge on Reta?!

[Fit_By_Fifty]

Has anyone else felt like they're constantly aware of their uvula since starting Retatrutide? Like it's swollen or something? Maybe it's just me.

Maybe you have a uvula infection? My kid had strep in theirs last year and said it felt similar.

 

[Fit_By_Fifty]

Nah, it's not that. It just feels like I'm stuffed right up to my throat, and my uvula is kinda brushing the back of my tongue.

Do you happen to snore?

 

[Fit_By_Fifty]

Not since I dropped the extra lbs, no snoring now.

I've felt super full up to my throat on tirzepatide before... I think I was constipated, lol.

I've read that Retatrutide can cause appetite suppression. Maybe you're not eating enough fiber to keep things moving, CoolMom559. That 'full' feeling could be a sign of constipation.

I've felt that fullness feeling after starting tirzepatide. It went away after a few weeks. Maybe your body needs to adjust?

 

[Fit_By_Fifty]

That's good to know Pep_552! I'm only on week 2, so I'll give it some more time before I panic. It's just a weird feeling!

It is worth noting that some people experience mild throat irritation or inflammation with GLP-1 receptor agonists. If the sensation persists or worsens, consider consulting with your doctor to rule out other potential causes, such as allergies or reflux.

I've been researching Retatrutide, and it's interesting how it works on multiple receptors. I had terrible nausea on Semaglutide but am cautiously optimistic about this one.

Hey Inject_Gal, have you noticed any changes in your heart rate or... ahem... libido? Just curious, since I saw some mentions of that online.
