A few years ago I had a terrible time with heart palpitations. Every time I tried to sleep and my heart slowed down it would miss a beat then there would be a very strong beat and my whole body would jump. It was a very hard time as one of my family members had recently passed away with what was suspected to be a genetic heart condition. I had a speaking tour in America and had to travel with a heart monitor fitted. Really scary for this suddenly start to happen!
As you can imagine I started everything to counter this problem. I moved to calm my mind and cultivate healing. I improved my diet, my exercise and learned to live in the moment. Everyday the problem however seemed to be getting worse. Sometimes my heart would really race for no reason during the day.
Inside, part of me was preparing to for the worst.
I started to explore supplements, I took magnesium, Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), omega-3 fatty acids, and B vitamins but nothing did much. After months of this I was starting to improve my rest and recovery which is hard when part of you fear problems with the pump working your body! I however found a growing state of calm and things improved. But then something amazing happened, part chance and part persistence.
