I would be grateful if you could tell me if I can safely take Mag. Phos. I have Heart Block (not blocked arteries!) My heart beats no faster than 40 bpm. I would very much like to take Magnesium as I know I am very depleted but every book I have consulted says don’t take it with Heart Block because it may slow down the heart rate. Will homeopathic Mag. phos. do this too?
Many thanks.

I have taken Kavinace Ultra PM by Neuroscience for the past year because I was unable to sleep due to Atrial Fibrillation which began over one and a half yrs. ago. I later found out it has Phenybut as its main ingredient and I did not know it was harmful. I recently began having severe anxiety, difficulty breathing, and being awakened out of sleep with severe panic attacks. Also began fluid retention started happening. I suspected the Kavinace and did Google searches and found that withdrawal can be severe from this product with the Phenybut being the problem. It causes rapid heart beat, insomnia, edema, panic attacks, anxiety, etc. I was up to 162 last week. I already had tachycardia and arrythmia from the Afib.
Now I have been off the Kavinace for 1 week and am having terrible effects as described above.
Is there any homeopathic remedy to reverse and lessen the effects of this withdrawal? I would need something without alcohol, because it makes the withdrawal worse.
PLEAS HELP! Any input or suggestions regarding this would be so much appreciated. Thank You, Lynn

However, I have noticed that sometimes it comes on after I have eaten breakfast. I can be ok for hours on end and then it comes on suddenly for no reason at all. Feel fatigued otherwise no other symptoms. It is certainly worse if I haven’t had sufficient sleep/rest.

Hello Dr Sharma: I have Ischemic Cadiomyopathy and DDD ICD and CHF.
I had MI in 1992 which damage portion of heart and in damage section I am having VT.
I had ablation in 2011 which kept VT away till March 2016 and it again started so I had another ablation in August 2016 which according to doctors may last for another 5 years.
Most of the time my VT starts after taking huge meal and I think it may be due to vagel nerve or Vagas nerve or Stomach acid.
I take Sotalal, Plavex, Asprin, Bisoporal, Crestor, Pentoprozac(for Digestion), Ramipril.
Is there any Homeopathy medicine that can help me so that I may not have to go through another ablation procedure in future.
Thanks
Dr. Sharma,
I have had skipped heart beats and irregular heart beats for most of my young and now older adult life.
I was diagnosed with mitral valve at 28 years old and in 1998, I was told I don’t have mitral valve prolapse.
I have noticed that in the last few months, They are coming more often, especially after I wake up and sometimes when I go to bed before I fall asleep. If I get too hungry they come until I eat something.
They somehow seem to be connecTed to my eating or not eating.
