heart rate — my 6-week log, condensed into one table

Side Effects Receipts ×1 Cold Box ×2 Well Actually ×2

heart rate — my 6-week log, condensed into one table. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments.

Nobody warned me about constipation and I would have liked the warning. It was not dangerous, it was just deeply unpleasant and completely unexpected.

Severe or persistent abdominal pain sits outside the pattern this board can usefully discuss. The honest answer there is that it needs someone who can examine you.

Held the dose for an extra six weeks instead of stepping. The food noise settled and I lost the same amount anyway.

Happy to answer the boring questions. Those are usually the ones worth asking.

Most of the common complaints trace back to slowed gastric emptying — early fullness, reflux, nausea after a large or fatty meal. That is also why meal size and speed change the experience more than anything else.

Nothing in this thread is medical advice, including this comment. I am describing a mechanism, not telling anybody what to do about their own week.

Disagree. Severe abdominal pain is not on the list of things to wait out, and this board should not be treating it as one.

fibre and water before you buy anything to fix it

This is the shape almost everybody here describes, and it is the single most reassuring thing in the thread.

Pushback: you changed the dose, the meal timing and the training in the same fortnight, so the attribution is guesswork.

marta_marchand is right about the timing. The day-of-week pattern is the diagnostic bit, not the severity.

Correction: that is a known effect of reduced intake rather than a direct drug effect. The distinction matters because the fix is different.

hair shedding follows the weight loss, not the drug, and it stops

A symptom that begins the day after the shot and fades by day four tracks the exposure curve. One that appears at random in week 68 probably does not, and that is worth saying to a clinician rather than to us.

nobody warns you about how much of this is timing rather than dose

About c/sideeffects

Side-effect experience and management, with a strong bias toward the ones that are common and boring (nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue, sulphur burps) and a hard line on the ones that are not (severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, vision changes). This community is not a substitute for urgent care and the mods will say so bluntly.

c/sideeffects rules
  1. Severe or escalating abdominal pain is an urgent-care question, not a forum question. We will lock those threads with a pointer to help.
  2. Describe your dose, your week number and your titration speed — otherwise nobody can help.
  3. No diagnosing strangers. Share what happened to you.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
