Palpitations - anyone cured by folk remedy?

[greatfoxmusic]

Hello there,
I recently have been identified as having PVC's and occasional SVT's, I had an event monitor and they were recorded.  When they get bad, I take 25mg of Atenolol, which works for me.  They get worse for me with stress.  

I don't like taking drugs, so I have read about a lot of folk remedy treatments for palpitations, and I am wondering if any of these has helped you guys.  Thanks for any feedback you might have.

Here is my list of items used by some people to treat palpitations:



Apple cider vinegar, alone or with Baking Soda to cut the acid.

Multi-vitamins (liquid or soft caps, apparently the tablets are not as soluble).

Zinc.

Selenium.

Peppermint tea.

Aloe Vera tablets.

Black Strap Molasses.

Chromium.

For reduction of calcium - Lime juice plus baking soda.

Electrolyte balancing mineral concoctions with any combination of these:
Potassium Citrate.
Magnesium Citrate or Chloride.
Sodium Citrate.
Sea Salt.
Electrolyte balancers such as Pedialyte.

Yes, I have the small pills, 25mg, and only prescribed as-needed since its a low dose.  When I get a run of SVTs and they make me crazy, I take one.  That's all my cardiologist says will work, otherwise he insists they are benign.

Yeah right.

Anyway that's why I'm asking about the folk remedies.  There has to be something that will work!

Anyone else please have any remedies??

I've been taking magnesium oxide which "seems" to be helping. I still get my ectopics and brief tachy times but they seem fewer. Or maybe I'm just eating better food, getting more rest and handling my stress better. Those are such difficult things to measure.

Did your doctor prescribe Atenolol as needed and not every day?  I take Metoprolol every day for PVC's but do not feel as I need it every day. I would rather take it as needed. If this is working for you I think I'll give my cardiologist a call.

I had 2 bottles of ice cold water pre going to sleep, helps some nights with the palps, on other it reduces how severe it is. Im going to save this thread and see what people say about remedy treatments. Very interested.
