Hi everyone!!

[KelleyK]

Hi everyone! I'm Kelley and I've been dealing with arrhythmia's for the last 19 years, after my dx with Graves Disease. I've gone from PVC's to pac's to ectopic beats. Normal ECGs and echo. They scare the heck out of me. Dr isn't concerned but there are times they freak me out. Looking fwd to talking with others dealing with cardiac arrhythmia's.

[buddje in reply to KelleyK]

Me too.but that doesn t happen.

I practice Mindfulness and Meditation and helps

[KelleyK in reply to buddje]

I should try that! It's really helpful?

What is your Graves status?

[KelleyK in reply to ling]

I was in remission for 16 years. Now I'm on meds again. My lab values are edging towards to hypo range on very low dose tapazole. Might be heading towards a second remission.

[ling in reply to KelleyK]

Wow. I figured being able to go into remission would make everything right?!

Do you still have Graves antibodies?

[KelleyK in reply to ling]

It's been awhile since those were checked, so I'm not sure. My therapy has been based on my thyroid lab results. I would have thought so to. But I've read that once your heart gets "used" to a certain rhythm it almost becomes habit. I've always been asymptomatic so no tx has been implemented. I do take atenolol to keep my HR low.

Thanks kelley for sharing!

Been mulling over what you said about the heart getting used to a certain rhythm.

[KelleyK in reply to ling]

I just read an article that said CBD can reduce arrhythmia's. It's really good for the heart and it lowers BP. Seriously considering trying it. What are your thoughts? Ever considered it?

[ling in reply to KelleyK]

Sorry what is CBD?

[KelleyK in reply to ling]

Sorry for the delay in responding. I don't seem to get all notifications of comments! 😕

CBD is a marijuana type derivative that has no psychotropic affects. So, you don't get "high". Check out Google. I bought a small bottle but have been too chicken to try it. Premium Jane is the website that I used. It's, at least, worth reading up on.

[ling in reply to KelleyK]

Thanks. You might want to adjust you HU account settings. That did the trick for me : )

[KelleyK in reply to ling]

I'll do it! Thanks!!
