I am a 64 year old female, complete hysterectomy 13 years ago, TSH reading of 0.08, and my naturopath suggests that the thyroid level although low does not require treatment, although I suffer from brain fog, fatigue, dry skin and thinning hair. I am in good health generally with some GERD, struggle with anxiety and depression, and have slight essential tremors in hands and head. Heart palpitations are quite troublesome, although MD hears no abnormalities in the rhythm. Wondering what you might recommend for palpitations given that information.
Hello Dr. Sharma Would Digitalis be OK to use for Atrial Fibrillation, or would Lilliam Tig be a better choice. I am trying to cut down on Diltaizem, as it doesn’t seem to have that much an effect on pulse rate if I am exercising or doing housework etc. I am in constant atrial fibrillation and have such difficulty with most meds . I have had an angiogram and have no blockages, am in good health, and just need to slow my pulse rate down when being active. Anything you could suggest would be wonderful.
Thanks so much,
Linda

Dear Dr. I have palpitation problem after eating food. Used lycopodim phosporus,nux vomica ,pulsatilla,carboveg but no relief.plz suggest some alternate remedy
Thanks Dr I am learning
Sir,
I get arrythmia after accidentally eating foods with green chilly preparation.(spicy hotel food very hot in taste) After few hours, the attack starts with sweating, followed by irratic pulse rate (also very high), breathing difficulties, back ache. After 2 -4 hours of suffering, without any medication(only limbu pani, sugar, ova or milk of magnesia is taken) , everything stops (stomach gas is formed and couple of motions happen) and I can do normal work. As it is difficult to know that the food is mixed with chillies in first go, even if I try to avoid such foods, once in 3 months the attack strikes. This has been happening over last 5 years. (I am 70 and have some mild stable angina also)
I would like to know what homeopathic medicine I should take when the attack is on, mainly to reduce or steady the pulse rate.
Same with my pl share treatment
I am 62 and have recently had a 24hour heart monitor for palpitations but the results came back as normal.i have reduced my caffeine intake but was already having decaf coffee.my husband and I have a half bottle of wine between us a day so alcohol isnt a problem.the only other thing could be stress e.i work, grand children etc.could u recommend a remedy please.
Hi Dr. Sharma. i am now 64 years od but always been very fit, never took a tablet in my life, my son was in accident 6 years ago, my only child, and ofcourse it was a big shock. since them i get on with life, holidays etc, but 2 years ago, i woke with my heart racing at 150, feeling going up my back to neck, and over my head, every few minutes, any ways, i had a couple of these over a few month, and finally went into hospital, they sent me for an anagram, and nothing wrong perfect no blockage,i have had all types of test m r i, , scans, ultra sounds , echoes, ecg, monitors, To cut the story short, they said i had AF. and tachycardia, put me on 100 gems Flecanide a day, its has stopped the fast rate, but i was getting ectopics , the monitor said, i produced an extra beat, but i have been taking Magnesium and iron tablets from the chemist, and for two weeks had no slow beats, but i found that out on my own accord, as the heart dr hear in gibraltar, never gives me any information or words or technical background etc on my problem. I have suffered IBS all my life, and when all this started with the racing i suffer gasses in the stomach, i had the camera down, and they found nothing, hence the mri was on gallbladder and found nothing, there seems to be NOTHING WRONG WITH ME!!!, so why am i on all these tablets!!!!. Also since the beginning of all this my ears and sinus, are permanently blocked and sissing , like I’m under water, this started when the problems started with heart. Im totally confused with it all, I’m trying to get to the bottom of this, and want to be fixed, A friend of mine, who may i say is very rich, went to Harley Street London, he had a racing heart, and AF, but he told me he had operation, where they burned something out of the nerve in heart, and he has been well ever since no problems, Harley street is out of the question for me, do you think i should go for another opinion, to try and fix this, as i am all for helping myself. Thank you for reading my comment Dr.

I am suffering from cronic rheumatic arthritis plese advise medicines me ……shyam narayan rai age-70
Dear Dr. Sharma: I have a history of palpiations for the last 20 years or so. I had conjestive heart failure last year. Recently, I have found that If I don’t nap in the afternoon, I am surely going to have palpitations at night. They are sometimes quite violent, but other times not that violent, depending on if I can nap for couple of hours in the afternoon. I have been taking allopathic Ameodorone 100. they help in stopping palpitations for some time and will again start. In between I have been taking Balladona 200c which helps in controlling them. What do you think if I take Lilium Tig and Aurum met, but in what potency. Or which other homeopathic remedy do you suggest. I am going to be 84 years old in Jan. Thank you very much. Rajendra Gupta
