Arrhythmias

I'm a 65 year old male with right bundle branch block, three stents in two heart arteries, some ischemia on the back of the heart, and frequent PVC's. Had an ablation about 15 years ago that was somewhat successful but the PVC's have returned in recent years. They are worse while sitting in the evening and seem to be GI related. I also have leg spasms that feel like little elecrical shocks. I took some Hylands Restful Legs tablets recently for leg symptoms and it seemed to help. But to my surprise the arrhythmias subsided as well. Has anyone one else had this experience?
I've always been very skeptical of homeopathy but may try this again a few times to see if this result is repeatable. Even if it is a placebo, if it works who cares?

Here are the ingredients:
Restful Legs Drug Facts
Active Ingredients.................................................. Purpose
Arsenicum Album 12X HPUS…………..………..creeping, crawling itch
Lycopodium 6X HPUS…………………...restless legs, while lying down
Pulsatilla 6X HPUS…………………………...constant urge to move legs
Rhus Toxicodendron 6X HPUS..…..……restless legs, better with activity
Sulphur 6X HPUS................................itching, tingling, urge to move legs
Zinc Metallicum 12X HPUS.......twitching & jerking of legs, while sitting

The letters “HPUS” indicate that ingredients are officially included in the
Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States.
The numbers next to Active Ingredient names, which are followed by an “X,” refer to the concentration of an ingredient, which is an ultra-small dilution, formulated to stimulate the body’s homeostatic healing response.
Uses
Temporarily relieves symptoms of the compelling urge to move legs to relieve sensations of itching, tingling, crawling, and restlessness of the legs. Symptoms may occur while sitting or lying down, and improve with activity.

I checked out the ingredients of that stuff.  Could be the zinc.  Some folks have reported positive results with supplementing zinc, especially for GI issues.

The other ingredients are all that hopus pocus stuff that's been magically diluted to the vibrations of the universe using their wizard tuning forks, including arsenic that's hopefully been diluted to 1 part per billion.   Seriously, I think that's crap.  So we'll go with the zinc for now.  :-)
