MY NAME IS JOHNNY MBAGWU A NIGERIAN, I HAD AN ATTACK WITH ARMED ROBBERS IN OCT. 2000, WHCIH RESULTED TO A SHOCK. SINCE THAT TIME TILL NOW I HAVE HEART PALPITATION WITH HPB, SOMETIMES MY HPB WILL BE READ 140/120, 160/120, 140/110, I VE BEEN ON DRUGS SINCE ALL THESE TIME TO NO AVAIL. PRESENTLY, I TAKE NORVASC & LASATHAN TO ENABLE ME SLEEP, PLS. ADVICE ME ON WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE HEART PALPITATION THAT'S MY MAJOR CONCERN
I have had a full work up (echo, stress ekg, bloodwork, tilt table) and all normal. My problem is that when I change position my heart rate drives up usually about 20 beats. It will slow down within minutes. (my resting tends to be about 80). I don't feel well....heart racing and lightheaded with this happens.
I don't drink enough water. Can this be the culprit? I also have pituitary tumor (being treated). Electro thought this might be cause.
I also tend to hold my breath a lot (stress).Could this cause these positional palpitations?
Since doc doesn't see need to treat wondering if also taking magnesium may help.
omega 3 or fish oil or flax seed w/good diet
for high cholestrol
what would you take .
no medicine
