If I had to guess, sounds like blood pressure or maybe sugar levels dipping. Are you getting enough food in throughout the day around when you take your dose? And how's your water intake holding up?

Same thing happened to me, honestly thought I'd caught the flu, that was the closest comparison I had! Only lasted a few days right after bumping the dose though.

The third compound stripped fat off my body running at a small twice-weekly amount. Went after areas I actually wanted to keep first. Then moved on to my stomach and arms.
Was seeing solid results paired with a manageable side effect load at that amount, and when I nudged up slightly assuming more would just mean better outcomes, I ended up genuinely ill instead.

I'd try dialing the dose back a bit and see if it helps. A racing or elevated heart rate is a really common side effect with the third compound, honestly the one I dislike most for the exact reason you're describing. You'll probably notice some elevation no matter what amount you're on, but if you climbed too fast to let your body catch up, maybe hold at a lower amount for several days and see if that eases things. If it doesn't feel any less anxiety-provoking, you'll know it's just part of the deal at any level and can go back to increasing. But if it does help, stay there a few weeks before moving up again. Personally, stuff like trouble sleeping or nausea I can just push through, but a racing heart paired with anxiety is what makes me stop and rethink things.

What's your current weight and age?
Those amounts sound massive. Though personally results have also fallen short of what a fairly high combined amount should deliver, and pushing the doses higher is on the table too.

Curious how the higher amount treats you
Did one 0.5mg shot first just to rule out any allergic reaction
Then followed with two rounds of 1mg right before an empty-stomach morning workout, and those opening two doses were absolutely wild, sweating buckets like something out of a nightmare.
This morning though the 1mg felt pretty mild by comparison. Probably still working quietly in the background, but to actually get the fat-loss push I'm after, might need to raise it a milligram or two.

Started at a small amount myself. Felt something close to panic episodes, though it was probably just an elevated pulse. Chest felt tight, couldn't get a full breath the way I normally could. Had an incident at the gym severe enough that an ambulance got called. They checked me over thoroughly and found nothing concerning. Thankfully didn't need to go to the hospital. Dropped my amount way down for a few weeks afterward. Gradually worked back up in small increments every few weeks. Eventually reached a higher amount but have since backed off slightly. Been running the third compound for over a year now.
