"Palpitations are usually harmless".
That is the most important sentence in this whole video.

I've tried everything from changing my diet (zero sugars, alcohol, processed foods), losing weight (from 200 to 175), running 30 min everyday, liver detox (lemon water/salt), daily supplements of magnesium, vitamine C/D/B12, iron, probiotic, fish oil, and omega 3. Even though I maintained that healthy lifestyle for few years, I still get these episodes of either fast heartbeats or regular but pounding heartbeats. I did ECG, Holter and blood tests and everything came out normal.

I feel like there's nothing I can do more to get rid of them ☹

I have another update in 2022😁: I've been eating bitter gourd and that had the best effect of all. So, twice a month I ate bitter gourd and it worked....but to my surprise Green split peas soup! Wow! I hadn't eaten split peas for years. So, last week I suddenly started craving them. I cooked them in a pressure cooker with various spices like chicken powders, cayenne and lemon powder (spices give me palpitations, especially black pepper) and Maggie bouillon block. I expected some palpitations that night...and you won't believe how it calmed my system down. For the first time since 2018 my heart has been this quiet. Amazing! I want some feedback about this, to make sure it is the green split peas. So please try it and let me know your experiences. YouTube doesn't always notify me when I have a response, but I'll try to find the videos.

Can anyone elaborate on this please? So, I do have anxiety and one day I took a fish oil, vitamin d and a coq10 pill in the morning. Drunk a mixture of cayenne pepper powder, turmeric, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. About 1 hour later while sitting at work I had a heart flutter and then another right after. I usually try to take a deep breath or hold my breath using the vagus maneuver to get back to normal but heart fluttered back to back for about 30 seconds and then really fast heartbeat. What can be said about this? Am I taking too many supplements and or remedies for my heart that are causing this, is it my anxiety, or do I need to have my heart checked??? When it happens like this I get really panicked and wanna drop everything and run to an ER. Usually goes away in less than 5 minutes but when it happens I feel like my heart is going to stop.
