@dvdhoover thanks, I will mention this CBD, and Epidiolex to my Cardiologist Wednesday among other things like Vagus nerve irritation, changes in posture and GI symptoms (hiatus hernia, GERD, bloating, belching) and see what he says. I will get the usual ECG and he might order another Echo Cardiogram and possibly put on a monitor ... but thanks again for the information..

I just wanted to add that I also have some serious GI issues like chronic gerd, and a condition called Narcotic Bowel Syndrome or NBS. My gallbladder was removed in 2014 and was followed by internal bleeding from the stints that they placed in my biliary duct when they moved and cut me up. I’m supposed to get an ERCP done every year to keep it clean, but the VA has delayed doing one for 3 years now. I’m using my Medicare to have it done at UTSW here in Dallas. I was just notified that it’s scheduled for October 13. I’ve lost about 50 lbs since January. I also have issues with my Vagus nerve that was just made worse by the new defibrillator I got 2 weeks ago. They decided to add a 3rd lead that is useless now because they missed the spot and every time it fires it causes my abdominal muscles on my left side to contract and it feels like I’ve been punched in the gut which isn’t good when my gut hurts 24/7. It’s caused by the EMI effects on the Vagus nerve. The voltage had to be reduced to a point that its no longer effective so it’s just useless now. And to top it off I have an abdominal hernia that has become huge because it’s not considered an emergency. I’m nervous about what might be found in my biliary duct after all this time.
