heart palpitations anyone?

Its pretty common here. Can be thyroid related too.

Time resolved it, along with everything I took.

Heart Palpatations and severe chest pain along with muscle twitching were my first symptoms of Lyme. I was for sure my heart was giving out. But after 2 ehco's, 2 chest x-ray's, ct scan, stress test, holter moniter, and a 4 day stay in the hospital the doctors and specialists could find nothing.

Like someone else mentioned heart palps are pretty common with lyme and co-infections. They come and go. I notice more when I take tons of magnesium and notice less when I'm sure take my supplements such as cat's claw and knotweed.

Thanks...I dont know I have been on and off antibiotics for the past three years...it is scarey and some days I think I cant really stand much more of this..my daughter has as well. Its just to much... my protocol is doxy X4 One 250 flagyl a day and he took me off malrone but after a week I decided I better go back on it...also sometimes take cats claw..a few years ago I did see a cardiologist had all the testing and my ekg was a concern but upon further testing he said no problems..

Does anyone get them only when they stand up or do any type of activity? My resting heart rate is usually around 60-70. But just standing up it could go to 100 and a simple stair case it could rise to 110-120. I do feel a heavy heart beat most of the time, I can count my hr in my head.

Whats the low and slow amount to start on Hawthorne?

I 4got 2 mention in my previous reply that back in summer of 2016, I had been on a too-high dose of thyroid meds.
I went from HYPO-thyroid to HYPER> which DOES cause a racing heartbeat.

It can be tricky balancing ALL the hormones, because they help each other out when one is slacking(in laymens terms)!!!

This is why I decided to take the endocrine issues off the plate of my LLND, she/we have too much other stuff to discuss, so im now handling the thyroid, adrenal, and other hormones thru an endocrine Dr who can compare the functions of all those hormone producing glands. This is working out so juch better for me because the endocrine doc is covered thru my INS!

Oh, also, theres 3 different heart symptoms I get
1) palpitations come from eating food i shouldnt and toomuch caffeine.
2) a racing heartbeat from very little physical activity( im seriously out of shape)
3) a loud pounding heartbeat i onlyhear at night!

I had palpitations as far back as 1997, at age 27. Had cardio workup. Told I had mitral valve regurge. Doc said nothing serious, no treatment needed.

Don't really remember feeling palps again until 2009, when Lyme/co symptoms started suddenly in a neurological frenzy. Went to cardio again. Nothing but mitral regurge wrong with my heart. Doc said cardiac symptoms were secondary to whatever was going on in my body and not due to the heart itself.

Had recurring flares of heart symptoms that waxed and waned for years. Symptoms would last anywhere from days to months before disappearing again. This was all before I knew anything about having Lyme/co.

Buhner, in his bartonella book, says any heart issues should cause bartonella to be suspected.

I most definitely have bartonella.

I've had all the heart symptoms mcspike listed and more.

Hawthorne is an adaptogenic herb specifically for the heart. Can't tell you if it will make the symptoms go away, though. I think a lot of the heart symptoms are related to the autonomic nervous system.

Treating bartonella and Lyme should eventually subdue those symptoms.
