vertical rhythm issues

Tried this method in compass but I'm getting massive margins below the header tags, the H4 tag is: font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; which creates a huge space below. Im using the same base line settings of 16 / 24. Are these primarily just of heading tags?

Also if I use the h4 within a panel the space below is too big so I have to change that margin to reduce the space, is that going to cause an rhythm issue? I tried to use the @include adjust-font-size-to(26px); on an p tag with the class .intro but the result was a huge line height and margin bottom, not at all usable.

basically its in early stages of the project: ''' $base-font-weight: $light; $base-font-size: 16px; $base-line-height: 24px; @include establish-baseline; ''' and

''' h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { font-family: $heading-font-family; font-weight: $heading-font-weight; } h1 { @include adjust-font-size-to(34px); margin-bottom: rhythm(1, 34px); } h2 { @include adjust-font-size-to(28px); margin-bottom: rhythm(1, 28px); } h3 { @include adjust-font-size-to(20px); margin-bottom: rhythm(1, 20px); } h4 { font-weight: $bold; @include adjust-font-size-to(18px); margin-bottom: rhythm(1, 18px); } p { @include trailer(); } .intro { @include adjust-font-size-to(24px,1.5,16px); font-weight: $light; font-family: $heading-font-family; color: $dark-grey; } ''' But this outputs massive spaces between content and line heights are way too large also, do I need to add anything else?
