Hi Dr Sharma I have problems with the conduction in my heart. I have an AV Heart block 2. What is the best remedy for this. It seems to be connected to digestive issues as I also get liver pain in the middle of the night. I am limited now with how much I can exercise as too strenuous exercise can trigger the heart block. It is particularly bad in the early hours of the morning. Thanks Fiona
Hi Dr. Sharma. I have been experiencing palpitations with two episodes of arrhythmia. Once last July. The other in early May. I have had increasing episodes of palpitations without the arrhythmia. It feels like my heart skips a beat occasionally. And then the palpitations start. I have managed them more recently with a supplement called Nervine which has california poppy and hawthorne. I have been referred to an arrythmia clinic. And will have an echocardiogram soon. As well I will have a 24 hr. holter monitor. I have been advised to go on blood thinners. I have read your notes and have received the remedies that I believe are right for me. The question I have is do Intake the remedy when inhave an episode or now to hopefully stop them. I am an otherwise healthy woman of 68. I had a hip replacement in dec. 7 and have recovered well. I am a meddium height and weight. I exercise at least 4 times per week.
I developed a strange problem in December 2016. I used a bit too much (but not that much, really) of topical magnesium oil and had a rash on my face and heart palpitations in my sleep. Since then, I have apparently become insanely sensitive to both Mg and Ca – the merest speck of a food that is higher in one or the other of these than my body “likes” makes my muscles react, which I can feel in my jaw, my eyes, my calves, and – most significantly – my heart. I continue to have palpitations in my sleep, usually around 4 am. A few times – recently – they come as I am falling asleep, which prevents me from sleeping. Sometimes they have come later than 4 am. And I very occasionally don’t have any. Over the past 6 months I have become extremely exhausted. The palpitations are weakening my heart, and if I sleep through them, I am really wiped out the next day. I am 65. I have eaten a very healthy diet since I was 18, including lots of greens, which I can only tolerate now if I have them with, say, cashews (high in Mg) as they have too much calcium for me now. I never had a problem with Mg and Ca before. I do have other sensitivities, e.g. to Na and K. Too much of one or the other causes fluid retention, but that is manageable and not as serious as this. A key fact, I believe, is that I had a paralyzed hamstring at age 9, diagnosed as polio by the pediatrician. There have been many signs that my nervous system is not normal, including hypersensitivity to wireless technology and others which would take too long to describe. In the past 10 years, certain sensitivities have definitely become worse. Is there any possibility that this condition can improve? I am finding it very difficult to live with and am not sure my body can survive it.
My mom is 89 and often wakes up at night with heart palpitations. When taking her pulse it’s usually between 80 and 88-(normal?) and she feels shakey. This also sometimes happens during the day but it’s usually at night.
After taking alcohol next my hear goes very high and pulse start missing
