My brother is having heart surgery right now and the surgery is taking longer than expected he has white, parkinson, and wilson heart disease with an atrial flutter but what is a stubborn arythmia sorry I cant spell well. I really hate to disagree with I_burn_r but nutrition is not the cause of Wolfe-Parkinson-White. It is a congenital defect involving the nerves in the heart. As far as your brother experiencing a stubborn arrhythmia means that there is probably more than one nerve involved in his problem. I wouldn't worry to much because most doctors in good hospitals knows how to handle these problems. Take care and God Bless. Cardiac Arrhythmia, sometimes called palpitations of the heart, is an irregular heartbeat. Normally, one cannot feel one鈥檚 heart beating, until something goes wrong. During palpitations you most certainly can feel your heart pounding, fluttering, or as some describe it, a flip-flop sensation. Beating can be irregular or steady and it might come on slowly or suddenly.
Tachycardia is a very rapid heartbeat, racing up to 240 times per minute. This can last a few seconds or a few days.
Most often, arrhythmia such as this does not indicate serious disease. There could be myriad factors causing these occasional palpitations such as decongestants, diet aids, caffeine, alcohol, strong sudden emotions or fright, and prescription medications.
In cases of stubborn arrhythmia, it can be hard to track down the cause or causes. Because of this, modern medicine in its sub-infinite wisdom has created the term paroxysmal arrhythmia meaning it comes and goes. However, since nutritional therapies can reverse arrhythmia, the cause is once again, and in most cases, malnutrition.
One major cause of arrhythmia is a damaged heart muscle. After a heart attack, many patients experience arrhythmia. One form of arrhythmia, where the heart slows considerably with longer periods between beats is handled by implanting a pacemaker. Treating the symptoms only, physicians prescribe a slew of anti-arrhythmic drugs, calcium antagonists, and beta-blockers.
We will mention here, and repeat towards the end of our work on cardiovascular care, that any patient who wants to get off the drugs prescribed by a physician must coordinate this with the physician as nutritional methods are incorporated. It is extremely dangerous to simply stop taking a drug prescribed for a heart disorder. Always keep in mind that nutritional therapies do not act as quickly as modern medicines. This is one reason why modern medicine is so attractive. You take a pill and poof, the pain is gone; works in an instant. Nutritional therapies can take a month to two months to six months to a year to two years. Let鈥檚 face it: we did not get sick overnight. It has taken a lifetime of poor nutrition to arrive at this illness. Don鈥檛 expect the cure to take overnight, unless you are taking conventional drugs. These will work overnight, but they won鈥檛 cure the problem. They treat the symptoms only. Nutritional therapies go to the cause of the problem. |
