Re: 2nd PTH yesterday...and now discovery of heart arrythmia
I have had arythmia for years and a variety of things set it off. ESPECIALLY chemo. I remember my 1st night lying in bed wondering if I was going to die...I didn't.
I always take CoQ10 and during chemo took DRibose which is a natural supplement that supports the heart muscle. Alot of older folks take it to offset degenerative heart disease.
Blood sugar can kick me into irregular heart beats too. Its good to get it checked out but know that it is fairly common.
