Hi Colleen,

The palps have slowed down on their own without taking any meds or vitamins whatsoever, go figure because I can’t, the only thing I can think of is the chemo I was taking ” could ” cause the palps and now it’s been 7 months since my last chemo so I guess it’s finally wearing off. My urologist said I have a urinary tract infection and has me on antibiotics for a week, most likely from the stones, thats pretty much it with me right now, thanks for asking.

The Magnesium Citrate worked fantastic for me EXCEPT that I had to RUN !!!! to the restroom 15 times a day, so I don’t know what is worse.

Hi Martishka,

I hear what you’re saying but I’ve been to SIX cardiologists, I mean how many more can I go see ? Two were electrophysiologists and all of them came back with the same basic answer, ” We can’t find anything wrong with you ” and this is also after a battery of blood, urine, electrolyte and blood pressure tests plus two CT angiograms, numerous EKG’s and an echo-cardiogram and they’re stumped.

I made it crystal clear on how MY palps affect me and the severity of them, when I get a big one it feels like someone punched you in the chest and that sensation stays with me for hours and hours. I feel disoriented and don’t want to talk after it happens but again all these Dr.s are stumped.

The only thing that has helped me was my own research and finding out that magnesium taurate helps diminish palps, and they have with it but I’m up to hearing what everyone else and you have to say on here because what really gets me is HOW in the world can I have 6 cardiologists stumped, I mean the last I checked I was from this planet, human and can’t be the first person in history with bad heart palps.

Thanks, I saw this one with Dr. Gupta a few weeks ago, thanks though.

Hi Cynaburst,

I wore 2 twenty four hour monitors within a 3 month period and had MULTIPLE palps while wearing them and my cardiologist said that these were normal palpitations. I told him my father is 88 years old and never had a palp, now THAT is normal, this is not but that’s what they said so I’m done with monitors, I have the palps, they get recorded but they also get dismissed, someone explain that to me. ????

Hi again Colleen,

What do you know about the Vagus Nerve ? I heard that this could be another reason to get heart palpitations.

Hi Colleen,

Believe it or not but I don’t have another cardiologist appointment at all, after meeting with the last one ( number 6 ) he said ” We can’t find anything wrong with you to why you get these ” so no more cardiologists I guess. I do have an appointment with my urologist on Friday to see what is this ” discomfort ” in my kidneys, I think I STILL have kidney stones, I had 5 in one and 6 in the other and to my knowledge they never passed. The urologist didn’t want to do lithotripsy because he said the y were too small and should pass on their own, I think I may have even more now.

Yes my thyroid was checked, it’s normal too, everything is starting to point to my kidney stones that I’ve had for almost a year now that won’t pass, I believe they’re starting to affect my kidneys in not excreting potassium correctly.
