heartbeat too fast with congestive heart failure

@hopeful33250 Sure, Teresa. The nerve/muscle issue is not difficult to understand. Amyloidosis is a matter of genetically mis-formed protein particles. Form many people, this process begins at conception. For others, it is available, beginning at conception, but does not operate until triggered by something like radon, 2-4D, 2-4-5T, Roundup, radiation from nuclear testing, or some chemical. There are many triggers to actually start the protein to mis-form. In any case, the pieces of protein, usually produced by the liver, float around the body to do their necessary work. But the mis-formed pieces create more mis-formed pieces in the liver, but should be filtered out by the body, especially the kidneys. But the kidneys get plugged, so the pieces then deposit themselves in any tissue in the body. Nerve, muscle, bone, fat, whatever. Each mutation has its special place to deposit itself. Just like me cat has a special place it likes to sleep at night. Anyway, some forms are fibrilogenic, meaning they get into a tissue, then make little tubes of water called fibrils. These fibrils push the cells of the nerves and/or muscles apart, interrupting their ability to work. The muscles get weaker, not able to tense up. The sensori-motor nerves cannot pass the signals from the brain. So the heart cannot beat, the lungs can not breathe properly. The skin tissue is not able to reproduce itself smoothly and colored properly. Some dead protein is deposited in the bottom of the cerebellum, and is called Alzheimers. My form of dementia is deposited in the top of the cerebellum and is called cerebral cortex Amyloidosis. It all stems from mis-folded protein particles which float around the body. They are like several children's jacks laid out to make a layer of them, then another layer on top of the first can be laid down, but will only fit a certain way, and another, etc., until it makes a chain of protein. If they do not fit, one layer on another, the layers die, and form fibrils. So you get a test, developed by Bindings of UK, called "Serum FreeLiteChain@ Assay, and do a 24-hour Proteinuria assay, to discover whether your kidneys are filtering out all the misfolded or unused protein. If the sFLC number is 1.8 mg/dl, or the 24-hr Proteinuria is 0.500 G/24 hour, you have some form of Amyloidosis, and must be tested to determine the mutation of your over-abundant protein. I know this is a lot, but maybe it will help.

The Vagal maneuver is a known way that can stop a racing heartbeat, although medication might be necessary for long term, as others have said:

Vagal maneuver and Valsalva maneuver (options, not all 3):

Strain as if having a difficult bowel movement

Rub the neck just below the angle of the jaw (which stimulates a sensitive area on the carotid artery called the carotid sinus)

Plunge the face into a bowl of ice-cold water

solatol and amlodipine works for me

yes , several years ago: my heart was beating at 130 or more when i was at rest. if this would continue then the heart would stiffen and an early death. the doctor prescribed three medications for the heart. it has been working now for about five years. i am eighty years of age and still feel well. each person is a different case so i do not think it would be wise to reveal the medications prescribed. perhaps a second opinion with a new doctor might be wise for your well being. take care of yourself and with love, peach barbara.

>> walls of the heart have become thick (13-19) and leathery, forcing the heart to beat faster but less efficiently to pump the proper supply of blood.

Sounds like you're describing heart failure, and that happens most often simply because of old age. Our bodies wear out. That's why it's becoming more common. We live longer, so we end up with diseases related to the body starting to break down.
