 Heart palpitations
A friend of mine, age 55, who is otherwise fully healthy, has an issue of serious heart palpitations. He used to have an episode once a week on average, but lately it sometimes happens that he is having one 3 to 4 times a day, lasting around 10 to 15 minutes. He has been turned inside out by cardiologists, but they cannot find any cause, let alone a cure.
Is there any supplement my friend can take that will not harm him, but probably will control this problem?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

 Re: Heart palpitations
Not sure exactly what "palpitations" means, but I'd start here: http://www.afibbers.org/atrial_fibrillation.htmMagnesium is a major basic factor: http://www.yourhealthbase.com/database/ ... esium.htmlLots of other stuff and lots of links, some at bottom of pages. FRM

 Re: Heart palpitations
gofanu, thank you for the links. However, I am afraid that if I pass on these links to my friend he will get confused and will just sit tight without doing anything. So, he'll continue to have his daily heart rythm problems. If I were to advise him to take two supplements, that won't harm and probably help, what would those two supplements be?
From what I read I would say at least Magnesium (what dosage?) en what should be the other?

 Re: Heart palpitations
A good start would be a combo Like, "Magnesium Potassium Aspartate." Mag 100mg. Pot 99mg probably twice a day would be a good starting dose. You don't want to go over 400mg MAG. in a single dose because it'll start acting like a laxitive. I'm suprised his cardio doc hasn't started him on blood thinners yet?? People who have A-fib generally start throwing blood clots which can cause a stroke or other problems. So yes he needs to get on this pretty quick!
