Hello all,
After many years of little noticed heart palpitations.
I started to really notice them more lately.
I spent a night in the emergency room the other night and they ran a barrage of test only to conclude that they could not find any heart problems via blood work and stress testing.
Oddly enough after a day of eating the hospitals cardiac wards food i did not have any palpitations. HMMMMM!
anyway the day after i was released i ate a veggie burger and fries /no salt and 3 glasses of water.
and for 4-5 hrs after i felt these heart palpitations Heart beat was steady around 88bpm sitting actively.

i asked for the results of the bloodwork and the results i wanted to share before i go and see my follow-up visit.

Sodium =144 (135-143)
Potassium=3.4 (3.5-5.0)
Chloride=107 (98-108)
Total CO2 =25 (22-31)
Glucose= 120 (72-112)
BUN= 19 (8-23)
Creatinine=1.0(0.8-1.4
Calcium = 9.0 (8.6-10.1)

I see that the sodium is one number high and Potassium is 3.4 Low
do you feel that this is enough to exaggerate these palpitations that i have been experiencing?

They also did Thyroid Test and they red =1.73 (0.300-5.00) .
and all screening for heart disease where negative after 3 different screenings.

This last episode i noticed after several hours the palpitations slowly went away making me really think this could be more diet than anything else.

would love to hear what others think.

thnx douglas
