Have an Irregular Heart Rhythm? Here Are Ways to Get Your Heart Back On Track

Many things can cause an irregular heartbeat, and each person is different. Some people are prone to an irregular heartbeat based on the development of their heart. Others are caused by health and environmental factors, such as atrial fibrillation (AFib), a quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other complications.

I'm completely cured from heart palpitations! Eating bitter gourd and also eating raw garlic. So bitter gourd and raw garlic did it for me. Thank you, Jesus!!!

[kangjhha]

had irregular heart beat where it would skip a beat develop in my twenties.. at that time I was suffering from insomnia and lots of stress and anxieties so I started practicing diaphragm breathing and learned to completely let go (relax my body) in meditation. I initially did it to help me to sleep but also cured my heartbeat as well

[LindyLooo]

I feel EVERY irregular heart beat.... every single one.... it's maddening..

[Hanmablood]

Treat, treat, treat if i wanted a treat i would go to the icecream shop but what i want to hear from doctors is the word "CURE.

[MedSurvival]

It is mandatory to address the cause of atrial fibrillation prior to rate/rhythm control. Like Treat Anxiety, Pain, Anemia, Electrolytes like K/Mg, Respiratory problem, Infection etc.

I've had palpitations as well, however, after I lost 18 kg and started to run some 10 km 2 times a week. After that, it started to be very less maybe around once in 3 weeks and very mild. I am 176cm and 79 kg now. When it was very bad at the beginning I ate a lot of garlic as well and I felt like it helped me to reduce the intensity a lot. Of course, it might not be the case for everyone but I believe that if you lose some weight and take care of what you eat, do some exercise it will really help.

For those who just have ectopic beats palpitations skipping a beat take 500 mg magnesium taurate every day it really helps and reverse with these skipped beats

I don't know why he didn't include some self help stuff to try such as: Stop alcohol, limit caffeine, try magnesium and potassium, find ways to de-stress such as yoga and exercise, 7-8 hours of quality sleep.( check for sleep apnea) Half of the people with afib have sleep apnea.

Felt like i was gonna die. i don't wanna die

[LanceMeaux]

Eat more potassium and magnesium in your diet. Exercise, stop drinking alcohol and try your best to get 8 hours of sleep. That's what is helping me.

[MedSurvival]

Always look for other causes of instability among patients with AF and shock or difficulty controlling the ventricular rate.

Your title is misleading. There are no "Ways to Get Your Heart Back On Track" in this video.

I’ve always had palpitations on and off, but the last few weeks my heart rate goes crazy spontaneously.. I’m due an ecg to be fitted Friday for 24 hours. I have shortness of breath as well and feel pretty unwell . I’m under alot of stress atm so hoping it’s just that.

[jhoohnan]

im here cuz my mom passed out 6days ago due to hypokalemia and UTI. based on her labs, her calcium, potassium, electrolytes, and sodium are low as per her MD and her cardio diagnosed her with irregular heartbeat. Her chest xray shows heart enlargement also and im still anxious as we will have a ff up check after she was discharged.

I developed an irregular heartbeat from my blood pressure medication, propranolol, my heart started to flop like a fish out of water, quite scary

[btccoins]

Regular doctor don't know anything, regular MD always treat the symptoms not the cause which is useless to me. Try to find Osteopathy doctor (functional) doctor near by. For example, I had Acid reflux problem and gastro doctor made a prescription for anti acid pill. Most people have LOW STOMACH acid b/c of their terrible diet. When you have low stomach acid, the stomach sphincter opens up (where it shouldn't) thus causing acid reflux. So if you took the anti acid pill, you just made a problem bad to worst. To know if you have a low stomach acid, there is baking soda test. First in the morning, mix 1/4 tsp of baking soda into warm water, drink it. If you burp within 2~3 minutes, you have normal stomach acid but if there is little to no reaction by +5 minutes, you have low stomach acid. Regular doctor don't tell you this type of shit, I had to FIND IT for myself. By the way H. Pylori (bacteria infection in your stomach, that could cause cancer-NOT LYING) could also acid reflux

I started having palpitations almost a year ago. I am 61 years old and in very good physical condition. They mostly came on when I went to bed for the night. This went on for a week before I reached out to my doctor. I went to my cardiologist and had a battery of tests including a stress test and calcium scan. All was good. I don't have them very often anymore except when I am taking a strength training class that includes cardio. When the palpitations come on it makes it hard to catch my breath and it reduces my physical performance and stamina. My doc prescribed Propranolol to take as needed. I now take a low dose, 10mg, prior to class. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't. Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated.

Come on guys it is freaking scary. I can’t have enough oxygen because of my broken nose. And now have irregular heartbeat. Fck!

They say this, but when you really need help, ghost town, in Saint Joseph MO. Been to hospital twice, should of been three towns in the last week. Shietness of breath, pains in both arms, jaw, neck, between shoulder blades. I cannot walk 50 feet without feeling like I worked out an hour and out of breath. And I can't get into see a cardiologist until NEXT MONTH!! And I've tried to be seen sooner.

I bought a Kardia care mobile EKG and they caught my issues, but BOTH ER doctors scoffed at it when I tried to show them.


Last Saturday I was watching the Xfinity series race and all of a sudden I just couldn't breathe. No worries tho. I get this from time to time. So I walk upstairs and by the time I get to the top, I REALLY can't breathe.

This is different 🤔 It's never been this bad. Just can't catch my breath. So I take 2 Bayers and chew them. Go back downstairs. That's about all I remember.

Ambulance came. Blood Pressure was 140/103 159 BPM. Hands and feet were very cold to touch. Said I looked bad.

At the hospital they did a ton of tests, they did CT scans of the head, neck, and chest. And ran something through that made my butt and throat warm. The blood tests showed irregularities for a blood clot. So they ordered the CT scans. The ER doc thought a blood clot may have passed. Since my triglycerides were 1100 in May (680 now but still way too high)Said follow-up with my GP.

So She couldn't see me until next month so they put me with an NP. She set me up with a cardiologist but they couldn't see me until Oct 10th. All week last week still get short of breath. Even now. I can't walk to the mailbox and back without having to rest. Had pains in chest, neck, jaw, arms, shoulder blades all week.

I get these because of my neuropathy. But this time it's different. I've NEVER been out of breath like this.
Heather said I woke up Tuesday at around 330am shaking violently and my head. Was so weird. Everything was in slow motion. I couldn't be me. I can't explain it.

So I called the cardiologist that I'm set with and say "Hey, I think I'm in some trouble here. I can't get my breath. Having chest pains that I've never felt before. They are different from the other chest pains I've always gotten. "Can I be put on a cancelation list"?  Well, they don't do that. But she said if I still feel that way Monday, call back and we will figure something out.

Last night (this was half time) it happened again. I procrastinated going to the ER again, I went cause Gage really wanted me to. My blood pressure was 140/102 with 135 bpm. Lightheaded again. Pain in Upper right clavicle. Or bone from right shoulder to front of chest. So the ambo barn said I needed to go get check out so we went.

They ran more tests at the ER, and again everything looked OK. He said he knows I'm having the issues. I have a cardiac care mobile EKG I ordered not too long ago. So I showed him the things. And he says what I had everyone has them from time to time. In my case, I'm having way too many. My heart can't get back into a rhythm (as to always before it could I think)

He said I needed to get with my GP and ask her to order me a holt monitor so they have had their "official" equipment. So they can catch it when it's happening.

One minute I'll feel fine, and in the next my heart rate just skyrockets. As I'm writing this second in this sentence I'm starting to feel it. I feel light in the center of my chest. Feels like my heart wants to fly away. Then nausea. This is followed by having to take deep breaths just to get enough oxygen. Then I start feeling sleepy. 😌

So this morning I call back the Cardiologist's office as they told me to. Different girl this time. Still super nice. Like I told them, I'm not more important than anyone else. I fact probably less important. But is there ANYTHING they can do? She said no. That she couldn't even switch me to a different doctor once my appt is set up with the one I have now. (My GP nurse just couldn't understand this. I have no idea. She said she couldn't switch. Even IF there was another opening with one sooner, she couldn't switch.

So my GP called back and they got me scheduled to get a holt monitor on. But can't do that until the 29th. 😳

Then add my diabetes, neuropathy, small fiber neuropathy, IBS-C Which I'm on my 3rd stomach specialist to try to figure out how to get me unconstipated. Been going on 17 months now. Have to take 2 capfuls of Miralax, 1 linzess, 2 Relistors, and two big gulps of Lactulose just to pass the little bit each day I can (I'm like 90% Constipated but can pass a little bit every other day or so. Mostly just water (sorry) If I don't do this, in a day or two when it hardens up, I have horrible pain in the lower back and sides. If I do take this every day, I HAVE to stay around a stool. I get nausea from it. BAD. And when it comes ain't no stopping it. Sometimes I'll have to go like 6 or 7 times in two hours. But it's almost all water. And we did an x-ray after I had what we thought was a good bowel movement and was still significantly backed up. Thought it could be that thing where the diabetes neuropathy has damaged the signal that says I need to go but my gastric Emptying test showing rapid dumping. Or 'dumping syndrome' where after I eat it takes the food like an hour or less to pass. Or push. Idk. Then the multiple bulged disc's that they said I have. The original problem just gets so overwhelming...it really takes it out of you.

There's still more, but let's be honest. Who has even read this to this point? LOL, I don't blame you. Any prayers, love, light, positive vibes, anything you can send my way would be a huge help I feel. And thank you so very much to those that do. 😊 Love you all. This has scared me enough to not care about how I look. Meaning people finding me "Weird" that I've changed the last few years and have become super compassionate about love. Just loving everyone else. ❤ Doesn't matter what has happened. Forgive. Heal. Anyone, I've posted this before, but anyone I've ever wronged or hurt your feelings or was just a butt hole too, I'm sorry. I truly am. Anyone that's ever done anything to me...water under the bridge. Absolutely.  And if some just can't, that's OK too. I'm really trying to live like this. I'm just so overwhelmed with everything. And I think the docs are too. I just hope I didn't wait too late.

If anyone has a rowing machine or exercise bike you sit down and peddle, and are selling it. Give me a holler plz.

Edit. It's about an hour after I posted this. I re-read it like 5 times. And every time it just sounds...I'm not looking for sympathy. Like I said all of this I did to myself. If you are a younger person, TAKE YOUR HEALTH AND DIABETES SERIOUSLY!!

This is my life. It is what it is. 🤷  Regardless if someone thinks I'm just looking for attention (which Heather and Gage and family know that's not the case. They had to make me go last night) And no one had said that. The reason I say that, is that's what I might have thought when I was younger and just more ignorant. That's probably a bad word. Cause I mean you don't know what you don't know, right? So if someone has never experienced say feeling like you just ran 10 uphill by just talking up 11 stairs or when it feels like your legs or feet are literally on fire. I never felt that back then, so I just didn't know. And things can ALWAYS get worse. Somewhere out there, millions of people have much worse pain then I do now. The difference is now I don't judge them.

Sure I used to think "Why would you want everyone knowing your business" type of thing. Which, I think sharing medical stuff is a smart way of getting possible life saving advice. But I truly believe in the power of prayer. Prayer chains, etc. And I think the more you know about someone, if it triggers a feeling inside you rather than just blindly saying Gos, plz let them be ok", is 1000 x stronger with feelings and emotions behind it. Don't get me wrong, any is appreciated.  LoL So, when I meet the reaper PLEASE say a prayer for me. I'm not a bad person. I used to be a lot more selfish. More judgmental. Very opinionated and I didn't care how the answer made you feel. I'm nothing like that now. I was dunno. Maybe I need to be again. I don't like the attention. I don't like hospitals. If I was 80 I would go out to the woods every night and just wait. I want to be put back into the earth. No box. Just a hole and Eric. Better toss in some chapstick just in case...😬
