Hi Candice,

I still think you should talk to your doctor about trying nutrients first, not drugs, for this arrhythmia.

I just saw this about side-effects of this drug:

YIKES!!!

Heart rhythm abnormalities can be caused by low copper, low magnesium and low potassium, to my knowledge. It would make more sense - in my ever so humble opinion - to look at these as solutions as low levels of these nutrients may have caused the problem in the first place.

Your docs are just treating the symptoms, but they are not dong anything to deal with getting rid of the original cause, I'm afraid, but this is typical of "normal" medicine...

If I got these symptoms, I would want to go off this medication straight away.

Just my two cents, though...
