Palpitations

[Charlpalp]

So I have been suffering palpitations for six months today they have been through the rough thudding through my chest so I have decided to get a Fitbit what are people’s opinions on these

Could do with someone to talk to

Thanks charl

I suffered with palpitations monitor showed I had 7200 in 24 hours and ectopics with bigeminal and trigeminal lasting up to 4 hours at a time. (Very frightening)Saw a cardiologist who started me on Bisoprolol 2.5mgs a day (worse move I ever made) these are a nightmare tablet and do nothing for my palpitations. Watch utube Sanjay Gupter a Leeds cardiologist who suggested Magnesium to help palpitations.Started taking 300mgs of magnesium citrate a day which has certainly helped.

I've had them 5 years flopping hard raid thumps heart squeezing then thud.. you too?

Really I’ve heard this helps my Gp said I can go on beta blockers but a low dose but I’ve heard horrible things about them and it seems like they hardly work for most people... when I was pregnant I had some sort of magnesium sulphate which I had a bad allergic reaction to not sure if this is the same as magnesium

[Hidden in reply to Charlpalp]

You can get different sorts of magnesium - taurate, Citrate etc. I found citrate was best for me. I think if I remember right that Sanjay Gupter Leeds cardiologist said not magnesium sulphate for palpitations If you look him up on utube Which Magnesium to use he tells you the best ones. As for the Bisoprolol some people don’t have any side effects either coming off or withdrawing from it but if you put Bisoprolol withdrawal into the search on this site you will see the many People have had side effects but we do have a friend that was on them and came off them. With no side effects whatsoever, but when he and his wife come to see me they can’t believe the withdrawal that I am going through and it is going to be August when I am finally off only 2.5mgs.
