Hi there.... as a child always had heart palpatations. Had my third dose of covid jab at age 51 ended up with 17,000 ectopic heart bangs/thuds a day. Medication isn't working so m heart surgeon isn't all that happy.
will see him towards the end of this year. Have other people noticed that if you have dessert it is a fire cracker for it. I mean i used to have this maybe once every few months for the last few years ... 52 now and a little nervous to go to my next heart apt. I am starting to wonder if it has had an effect on losing most of my hair as well bringing on alopecia. all grown back now , starting to lose it again...... just makes you wonder the ripple effect. I never liked the taste of coffee but i do have half a satchet of Aldi Mocha of a morning as this amount doesn't seem to affect my heart compared to a full satchet. Take Care everyone

Hair lose can be a side effect of some anti-arrhythmia drugs. When I was first diagnosed with a-fib, I was given several different drugs trying to find one that would control it. I finally opted for for an ablation but before the ablation one of the drugs that I took was Amiodarone. I had taken it for a short time only to find my hair falling out. Fortunately when I told my cardiac electrophysiologist, he took me off the drug immediately and my hair stopped falling out. My sister had a friend who lost all his hair from taking Amiodarone. You might check the side effects of the medications you and ask your doctor about it.
