So I had bad run of ectopics that started a couple of years ago... got everything checked countless times... ECG monitors, 24hr tape etc and even an ultrasound. Confirmed ectopics but was told they’re harmless. They’ve started up again and feeling loads every day and still making me feel very anxious (I know doesn’t help as I suspect they’ve been brought on by stress anyway!)
Are they really as harmless as I’ve been told and they feel so scary... as if my heart could stop anytime I get one! Don’t want to get it checked out again as I know what they’ll say....??
Thanks

Ectopics are very common...one quick short term fix is to drink asome bicarb of soda in water...if this works ..it is because it lowers circulating calcium in the blood....longer more lasting fix is to start taking magnesium...any food such as bananas or leafy greens will work..but the best by far is magnesium taurate...the is easy to buy Amazon/eBay.Magnesium Taurate is mainly found in the heart muscle it causes te heart to relax and counteracts calcium...which contracts muscles.What seems to happen is when magnesium becomes too low in the blood..it leaves its receptor empty in a part of the heart muscle...calcium ions then fill the unoccupied magnesium receptors... this over excites parts of the heart causing premature beats...taking magnesium soon re occupies those cells and thus restores natural rhythm...this often happens after stress or vigorous exercise...Sinus rhythm and poor vagal tone just makes things more troubling..
I use about 500 mg a day (1 capsule) research Dr Sanjay Gupta York cardiologist YouTube...it just works!
