Hi everybody, i am new to this board
I have such a arrythmia for 4 days already. My heart is OK, it was checked many times before as a stress test, eco, but this is different and it makes me so tired, sleepless. I can't lie down at all, seating down really does not matter: pounding on a chest is hard and it makes me dizzy and very tired.
I get palpitations often, but i am 52 menopasal woman and this is normal. But this symptoms i have now is a flip-flop, pounding irregular beating.
Can somebody advice? Thank you

You probably need to wear a 24 hour heart monitor so that a cardiologist can see whats happening and let you know if anything dangerous is going on. If you haven't already , I would call the doctor and have this done.

Moldova from New Jersey,

Try some magnesium supplementation, at least 250 mg./day. Any vitamin store preparation is good except DOLOMITE. Cheapest is Magnesium Oxide.
Take it on an empty stomach...it dissolves better.

If it helps your rhythm irregularity, you'll know in a couple days...if not, the supplements are cheap. :D

Lenin, (wow, some name you got :-) thank you for your advice, but i do take good suplements include Magnesium. I am good on healthy stuff...:)

The day I posted this thread i was admitted to the hospital and had tilt table test which was negative, but the 24 hours monitor at the hospital showed a lot of irregular heart beats and very low heart rate - from 40 to 60 they highest. Doctor suggested pace maker, but due to my age (52) he is not happy to do it since they do it for much older people. So far he gave me monitor for 90 days (it is a small device, looks like a tiny cell phone with the botton). I have to carry this with me 24/7 and the minute i feel a problem i push the botton, put that device to the heart area and it starts recorging. Than i dial a phone# and send recording by phone right to my Doctors office and they call you right the way if any problems.
After one month he decides to put me on beta blockers or i definately go for pace maker.:confused:

My friends all call me Vladimir Ilyich ;) !

Moldova,
I would resist the pacemaker if possible...look on it as VERY last resort. Yes, beta-blockers can work very well but willl lower your BP and cause you fatique and probably some weight gain. Obviously they work better for someone also trying to control hypertension (or angina.)

BUT, do try the magnesium...start with 500 mg. MgO. Somtimes it works INSTANT WONDERS and it really has no side effects. Honest, the tie-ins between magnesium and heart rhythm are legion.

But go a week with that heart monitoring doojiggy to get some baseline readings and then start the magnesium. That might show a distinct difference.

Make sure you take an aspirin a day...anyone with rhythm irregualrities should,

It's a pleasure to talk to someone who can give a good advice.
I will definately do MGO, will try anything. When it comes to aspirin... not allowed due to magor spinal fusion surgery (aspirin and aspiring related meds may prevent fusion process).
I don't want the pace maker at this point especially since my spine full of titanium, my knee is replaced with metal one, now you tell me: do i need another beeping thing in my body? I will set all alarms in airports LOL
