Wow. thank you for sharing your story extremely encouraging. I too have been on metoprolol 12.5 for two years after stent was put in. Doctor said heart was fine. but plaque buildup caused heart attack. Palpitations just recently started out of nowhere. tried to watch for triggers but it didn’t matter what i was doing . I rely heavily on oils ,lavender. ,oregano. frankincense. r.c. myrrh. I do however like the chiropractor piece which speaks to body alignment. What oils do you find most helpful. You are absolutely correct about the diet piece it is what we put in our mouths and exercise all of which i was doing before my h.a.
Again, thanks for sharing
dont forget i’d like to know what oils you find most helpful

Yes I use lavender oil diluted with olive oil on the bottoms of my feet and on my chest before getting into bed at night.
No sugars or carbs for me and it works good to keep my heart kind of on a level playing.
My issue is getting somebody who can help me with the impingement of my Vegas nerve in my upper left body and neck. Any quick movement, or bending over will set it off. Then I do my deep breathing breathing out very slowly for 10 seconds, I also put ice on my face and neck and relax in a reclined position with my legs up. If I have to that is when I take A metoprolol 6.25 and I actually dissolve most of it under my tongue so it works fast and swallow the rest.
I know there’s nothing physically wrong with my heart and I just need to get this vagal issue taken care of but it is terrible trying to find someone who is knowledgeable about this. There is a person called a functional manual therapist who I am trying to look for one in my area that hopefully can help me out.
Being sure that your neck has a natural curve in it, and does not have any issues is important because this has a lot to do with your heart. Also your thoracic spine I think T5, is very important, if it is out of line it will affect your heart and cause palpitations.
All the best to you!
