What if you can't take medication chemical and or herbal now what?

I have abnormal  heart rates and blood pressure, for example today while waiting for my doctor I was reading a magazine the nurse took my vitals bp 176/100 in right arm  170/100 left arm, heart 104-138. And I felt as calm as if I was sitting on the beach. I dont have What coat syndrome. I have a PFO and ASD and possible left atria enlargement. I have tired 7 beta blockers and 2 ace inhibitors and they do not work. My body is ultra sensitive to drugs. I also had a good piece of my sternum wire popping out of my chest one year after surgery. So I believe my body is ultra sensitive to foreign objects in my body.  I had a screw put into my knee and within one year it began to pop out?
So what do you do if you can't take meds. Having Ablations may not be the answer.
Thank you

Everyones body is different and react differently to any type of illness and disease.  I would not put a thing in my mouth without clearing it with your heart doc and general practitioner because you may just cause more harm.  Holistic may very well be the way to go however you seriously need to be monitored by a health care professional especially if you are suffering from hypertension as you are.  Like mammaoftwins posted for her the ablation didn't work however it is doubtful that you both have the exact same diagnosis so treatment is different for everyone.  The majority of people who have ablations are success stories not the later.  No harm no foul.  I would look at all of my options and i know how frustrating it is going thru all of this and yep you have quite a body there if it is recognizing the fact that something has been placed in it and is forcing it out.  That is amazing to me...i bet you get over colds and flu super fast if you even get them.  And wow to have hypertension and not even feel like you do like you are sitting on the beach?  That is a double wow to me....check w. your doc so anything you take doesn't counteract any meds you are on are may increase your episodes and there are alot of holistic meds that will do that to you...good luck and have a great weekend....

What herbal meds have you tried? I'm hypersensitive to heart meds as well, and I'm currently on holisitic whole food supplements, that don't have any side effects, and don't hurt the stomach. In order to be on the supplements, you have be very devoted to your diet, and what goes into your mouth. Do you eat healthy? If you're interested the program is called Standard Process. Hope this helps. I would not recommend having an ablation. I've had three failed ones and I just get worse after each one. Some people are lucky and they actually work the first time.
