Does anyone have heart problems related to lyme? I get palpitations and irregular heartbeats and they freak me out! Anyone know of a natural approach to helping with palps?

I have a partial right bundle branch block...doing iv abx ..but also i think it is nerve related so doing hawthorn ,coq10,rife for bart , biotin and iv magnesium seemed to help ..iv curcumin helped inflammation like i could feel it de enlarge ..if that makes sense .
i have been meaning to watch that new reel with neil spector ..he got a new ticker but he was a doctor ..so imagine shmoes like us are s.o l.

I used to get pvc's all the time, but they magically disappeared on their own. I chalk it up partially to not being able to get my thyroid levels right. But no matter what hormone I tried, we never found a so called sweet spot....until I started treating Lyme/Bart. Boom, pvc's went away. I still say that my doc was right, in that ive had Lyme/Bart for a lot longer than I thought and that it kicked off Hashimotos for me. It would explain a lot.

Right bundle branch block, palpitations, carditis. I wish I had an answer. Treating antimicrobially dropped my heart rate 30bpm once the herx subsided. I've heard Hawthorne is good. In my situation it mainly just settled and became subclinical over time. I suspect when I treat again it will come back

I'm having heart issues as well. Lots of palps and more recently a very high heart rate and low bp. I feel like my heart is going to wear out. I was taking Hawthorne and need to order more to see if it helps.

*PaulNjo.......

-I think palps happen to a lot of people, I know mine were thyroid related - its common. And of couse since Lyme effects thyroid hormone..........well you see the possibilities there.

*Psilociraptor-

Have you looked furthur into the RBBB? I'm getting furthur eval work there. Some say it can be reason for fatigue.

I asked questions on the heart forum here- only one reply (!). I am convinced lymies learn more about their bodies than the other illnesses/forums.

Further in what sense? I got an extensive cardio workup but it didn't turn up much

I think I will order Hawthorne. I've had heart tests and it showed mild hypokinesia and mild tricuspid regurgitation. I even had the Holter monitor but it never showed irregular heartbeats. It's so frustrating to feel this way and nobody can ever pick up on it. Ekg 's never catch my irregular heartbeats.

When I first got lyme my heart issues were a huge concern for me. First I went to the doctor to get checked out. Then before I could address my lyme I had to figure out my heart.

I did Hawthorn and motherwort. One at a time going low and slow. I used tinctures. I also did CoQ10 and many other vitamins - especially magnesium.

I also ate garlic and when it wasn't appropriate for garlic breath, I took social garlic capsules.

And to stay calm I would do Kava in times of high immediate stress (ONLY as needed sporadically), I did valerian some nights and I did breathing exercises daily.

Then I went on to tackle lyme. I had high blood pressure, high pulse and would tach every once in awhile. It scared me because my dad had died of a heart attack at age 36, so I wanted to be super safe.

Now? I am fine.

Awesome! I actually take coq10 and mag. I have garlic pills as well just haven't been taking them. How much mag and coq10 do you take a day? I just ordered Hawthorne tincture and I will look into mutherwot. :) my blood pressure usually stays around 120/70 sometimes 111-115. Of course there are times it gets to 130 something but usually it stays in between like 115-125. I had moments,where my bp would get to 150 something but not consistent enough so my doctors thought I have white coat syndrome.

On the recommendation of someone here, I tried this magtein.com/. I don't know if it helped my heart, but I sure got sharper in the brain function. I could say an entire sentence. LOL! I just did the recommendation on the bottle. Same with the CoQ10 - I did the recommendation on the bottle. But, I am very sensitive to vitamins, minerals, and herbs. You might have to start there and see if it is enough.

Psilociraptor -

"Further in what sense? I got an extensive cardio workup but it didn't turn up much"

Well, I was just assuming your ahead of me in this area. I have another ECCO soon. So they just said you have it and live with it, they dont offer any advice or anything?

Further as in: have you looked into any non-nonventional treatments for this? I dont know if there are any.

This area is new to me. , and its pretty hard to say if its from lyme or not, just no way to tell.
