Sir, my wife is undergoing treatment for tachycardia.she was suffering from high BP and irregular heartbeat ranging above 100/sec.she is taking allopathic medicine cordarone,ecosprine,montair but off and on heart rate goes high.please suggest some homeo medicine.she is plus 60
I am 77 yrs, normal weight, work out 2x/wk, taking T3 because I had trouble converting T4. normal BP, cholesterol levels, low D3, taking 1000 units, but taking too much causes aching joints.
I have been having PVC. It was getting bad a couple of months ago and I was getting faint at times when my heart stopped every few beats. I upped my magnesium, taking it 3x/day and use topical mag oil about 4-5 times a week. That helped get over the worst of it. I used topical progesterone for awhile a few years ago and it went away but had not been as bad as it is now. But I couldn ‘t afford to keep it up. The problem started up again a couple of years ago when I lost 40 lbs. I found dairy and peanuts were a problem and when I quit them the weight went. I am essentially vegan now. But I think I might have lost my progesterone stores with the extra weight. Went back to it now for a month, low dose. The problem is not as bad now, but comes and goes. A bit tired all the time though.
I had surgery on both breasts about 10 yrs ago. The lumps came back but don’t seem to be doing anything now. Not going to do anymore allopathic stuff. Using alternative methods. T3 is my only prescription. Blood level feels best with a free T3 about 5.1.Below 4.5 definitely does not do it.
My feeling is the problem might be minerals, but the usual metabolic panel is normal. I do take Potassium 4x day to keep that above 4. I take calcium 1x/day because I had to after eliminating dairy. That affected my heartbeat. I also take Se, Mb, Mn. 1/2 an iron tab once a week. More and Iron goes too high. None and levels go way down.
I wonder if there is something else I can do.

Respected Doctor,My mother is a heart patient.She has Bradycardia,Thyroid,Irregular & intermittent pulse rate.The pulse rate is 40/minute.She has palpitation after sleep in the morning.My mother feels very tired all time. Please help her.
At the onset of menopause when I was 50 years old I developed heart palpitations. Now for the past ten years I have been suffering with heart palpitations. All my life I always slept peacefully for 8 hours every night waking up rested and feeling great at about 8 AM. NOW, every morning at EXACTLY 5:30 AM like clockwork, I am woken up out of sound sleep with massive heart palpitations which pounds hard for 30 minutes to an one hour. Plus, every time I get a HOT FLASH my body goes into “fight or flight’ and my heart starts pounding. Also, at EXACTLY 9:30 every night like clock work, my heart starts pounding and many times I cannot fall asleep. Recently, I am now waking up at 1:30 AM with heart pounding during the night. I am self-employed in the Real Estate Industry trying to live on commissions for all my life, fearful, anxious wondering if my escrows will close, never knowing if I will have money to pay my bills each month. I’m NOT angry, just scared. My real personality is a happy person.
But the stress of making money on commission basis is intense. After reading your website, I agree I need Homeopathy…. but which ones?
Diana,
Did you get any answers for your problems? I have very similar ones and would appreciate any remedies that you’ve tried that helped with the sudden onset of palpitations at night.
Thank. Mary Ellen
as a p.s. two years ago, phosphorus worked for a while maybe a couple months, cactus grandiflora 6x for a couple months, viscum album 12x for 3 months also helped with my sleep. It seems everything is temporary. Impermanence.
Hello Dr. Sharma,
Thank you for offering help. I’m 65. I’ve had palpitations for 12 years or so, they started 2/3 years after menopause. They’ve become worse in the last 4 months. I’m woken up a couple times a night every night. They’re not terribly fast maybe 10 to 15 beats faster than resting, they have a slight pound, and I feel a need to sleep at an angle as it seems that lying flat is more aggravating. I used to be able to get myself to resting within a few minutes with breath and aconitum, the aconite still helps somewhat, sometimes not at all, and now a heart pressure also occurs here and there throughout the day. I take L arganine and sometimes arnica which helps the pressure.
Also, though I also had them in the morning, I could calm myself within a few minutes, after a while it lasted an hour, then hours, now I’m 10 beats faster most of the day with a feeling of pounding. I’m a vegetarian, no dairy, no caffeine, no sugar. My diet is pristine, I exercise regularly, I meditate, do yoga, qiqong.
If you have suggestions, I would be grateful.

Dear Dr Sharma I really want to get rid of warts on my hand and lower arms. They are rough on top, the skin round them is slightly red and they itch occasionally. I have other flat warts on my legs which show as white areas when I have a tan. Also I have some irregular brown marks on te top of my arms – just small- and only 22-3 and I ha e little red dots like blood blisters on my abdomen – about ten of them. I have a very bad reaction to excess sugar and feel like I am drunk but also very bad tempered and stressed. I suffer from chapped lips sometimes and have cold feet. I have a professional job and communicate easily. If you could help me get rid of the warts I would be really grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Best wishes. Rose

Good day Dr. SHARMA
I have been getting “HEART THUMPING” after eating any food for the past two years. My heart seldom beats more than 80 beats per minute, but it really thumps hard in my chest. Sometimes I feel it in my stomach and sometimes in my chest. I also have hypochlorhydria and the food does not digest properly. I very very seldom get heartburn. This makes me very anxious and no dr has been able to help me. They want to give me anti depressants and I will not for the love if me take it. Will taking Arsenicum 200 help me in any way? I am really desperate.
Awaiting your reply
Regards.
