Hi, a few years ago I was investigated for palpitations. I had a monitor on for a week and it was found that I was having episodes where every other beat was an ectopic beat. I was told I didn’t need any treatment. When ever it happened I would feel a thump in my chest and at the same time a missed beat if I felt my pulse at the wrist. A couple of years later I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I rarely get the ectopic beats now.
T3 and meditation improve mine a bit. But generally I find ignoring them is the best thing. They are annoying but you get used to it. I did find Hawthorn and Arjuna capsules helped a bit, too. If I'm bothered by them when sitting still, I just get up and do something - then I stop noticing them.
Gp said it could be due to my iron def, im working on raising them but have now been referred to GI as after 3 months they only have risen from 10 to 27, could be due to my celiac. 🌟🌟
It took me nearly two years to get my ferritin up to mid range or slightly over. My other iron-related levels are substantially less than optimal, but I would have to push my ferritin higher than I'd like to get the other results closer to optimal.
No, I've been thoroughly tested for coeliac and the results all came back negative. However, I did eventually (5 years after testing) go gluten-free as an experiment and got lots of benefit from it, so I've maintained it. Most of the benefits have been brain and mood related rather than gut related (although I don't lose iron quite so quickly as before if I stop supplementing). I think I have gluten ataxia.
This was a few years ago...
My GP gave me a prescription for two months worth of iron supplements. I discovered, purely by accident when I picked up my prescription, that I could buy prescription-strength iron supplements without needing a prescription. I had also found out that private testing could be done without a doctor's permission or approval. Once I knew these two things I decided not to bother my GP any more. "Bothering" doctors has always been stressful for me, because they appear to have decided that I was a hypochondriac when I was in my early teens and have never changed their opinion in the 40+ years since. Getting any testing and/or treatment has always been very difficult for me.
