I was diagnosed in Munich with a heart arithmia (Bradyrithmia) which is supposed to be present in people with low blood pressure, like atheletes. Anyway, this Doctor scared me because he said with certain conditions it could lead to a heart attack. My heart palpitations had increased over the past few months from "once in a while" to 20 times a day. Something was definately wrong. I have learned quite a bit recently from Google and from my doctors about certain herbs and nutrients which when people have a deficincey, heart arrythmias can develop.  Heart arrhythmia
Alfalfa, borage seed, horsetail, nettle and pau d'arco are all rich in minerals necessary for proper regulation of heart rhythm. Black cohosh, oat straw, passionflower, valerian root, skullcap, and wood betany are calming herbs that may help to regulate arrhythmias. Nutrients which help to maintain a normal heart rhythm -Potassium (99mg per day) is needed to maintain regular heart rhythm, and it also lowers cholesterol. Calcium and magnesium are important for maintaining normal blood pressure and a normal heart rhythm. Hawthorn also has been shown to control "electrical outburst" from happening in the heart, which causes arrythmias as well. I have been taking potasium, magnesium, and hawthorn daily for the past week. I also started drinking at least 4 large glasses of water a day. My abnormal palpitations have gone down to just a couple times a day, and today as I write this I have not had one yet. I am begining to think that I had a magnesium and potasium defficiency. I was working mids for a long time and not eating very good meals (mostly fast foods).
