Why can palpitations or insomnia occur after diet herbs, and how are they adjusted?
Palpitations, dry mouth, or insomnia may relate to metabolism, sympathetic activity, or heat and fluid changes. Check weak digestion and the medication response, and adjust strength if discomfort is significant.
If palpitations, sweating, dry mouth, or difficulty sleeping appear after herbs, review both the ingredients and your response. Modern explanations can include metabolic rate and sympathetic activity; these are not normal signals for everyone.
Korean medicine may interpret heat rising and fluids drying while phlegm-fluid and blood stasis are being addressed. With weak digestion, also check whether energy burden brings tremor or dizziness.
If symptoms make daily life difficult, do not silently continue; tell the prescribing clinician and adjust strength or timing. Causes and severity vary, so benefit and safety should not be predetermined.
