Hi

For the past week where the weather has been great, I've been getting heart palpitations that are similar to what I would get if my medication was too high.

I've been on the same dose for a really long time, but I wondered if anyone else finds they need less medication in the summer and more in the winter? I was going to order a blood test today and reduce my medication as its getting hard to sleep at night with the palpitations.

Thanks in advance

    Circumstances of certain weather can effect health, its good to keep warm as much as possible in winter, and to keep as cool as you can in summer. Weather can effect mental and physical well being. However, i do not see the reason why you would need to change medication, because of the sun and winter.
