Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group
Welcome to the Heart Rhythm Conditions group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
Did you know that the average heart beats 100,000 times a day? Millions of people live with heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) which occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats don't work properly. Let's connect with each other; we can share stories and learn about coping with the challenges, and living well with abnormal heart rhythms. I invite you to follow the group. Simply click the +FOLLOW icon on the group landing page.

Let's chat. Why not start by introducing yourself?

Hi I am Chris. I have a hiatal hernia, and when the stomach comes into the throat, my heart goes crazy. working with a cardiologist now, echo, lipid bloodwork, etc. But I would like to know if anyone else has the hernia with the palpitations.. Thnks
Hi, I'm Jackie ,61 from Vt.
Just started Eiquis, 2 months, and very unsettled about continuing.
Afib, 3 times with cardio version in the past 8 yrs, nothing in the past 3.
I had a pulmonary embolism 8 yrs.ago, none since.
I take Atenelol,Norvasc, Prevasatin
Multi- vitamin, Co Q10. and .magnesium.
Before Eliquis I was taking daily aspirin and fish oil. I find I would bleed more before the Eliquis .
I've given this pill a 2 .month try and I really dislike it. Just not myself ,haven't changed my eating habits but have 7 new pounds that won't budge, when u r 5'2 that makes a difference.
Feel my cardiologist (new) is more a pill pusher. Returning to have heart moniter to check on afib.
I truly believe if my aspirin dose was higher and back on fish oil I'd be ok.
Well said.
Thankyou
I will be anxious to know how your test comes out.
Exactly! I couldn’t agree more.
It’s amazing when I read how so many have the same symptoms nation wide, but for some reason the medical field with all of the technology out there doesn’t have any answers.
You would think with ECG, Holters, Echo, Stress Test, on and on would give the doctors direction on how to treat our symptoms. I have done all of the above test numerous times, just to be told nothing abnormal and my heart is healthy.
My cardiologist did do an angioplasty in 2016. He told my husband he didn’t expect to find anything. I had 80% blockage in two arteries. He did inset 2 stents. But it didn’t take care of the episodes and blacking out at times. I don’t want anything to be wrong, I just want answers.
Maybe if several doctors experienced the symptoms and frustration that goes with it, we might be taken more serious. It doesn’t help when we are basically brushed off time and time again.
No I don’t have connective tissue disease. Adrenalin seems to go with the increased heart rate and stress though!
My friend’s homeopathic doctor suggests that magnesium oil (magnesium chloride) foot baths raise magnesium levels at the cellular level and is therefore best for arrhythmia, whereas magnesium citrate (Natural Calm, a powder mixed with water) is for digestion. I do foot baths and also take Natural Calm. I have also read that magnesium chelate tablets are supposedly easier on the digestion. Not positive if all of this works but worth a try.
I am going to my health food store to ask them. I am presently taking magnesium chelate. I heard magnesium chloride is better
I'm curious. Do you have a dysautonomia? Curious about the adrenaline rushes. Do you have a connective tissue disease?
