heart palpitations
Hello there. Can you help me?When I became pregnant with my daughter 3 years ago I started to have these heart palpitations. They are ectopic beats so an extra beat. I had it very often in the pregnancy and the doctor said it is normal because your heart is working harder. It was very scary though. Since then I have continued to have them though. Not as bad but whenever I am sick they are worse. It makes me have to catch my breath sometimes because it is strong. They happen irregulary. Some days I notice them a lot and somedays not at all. They make me feel anxious. I don't feel anxious prior to them though. They happen suddenly. I was very sick during the pregnancy when they began and I had insomnia. After the birth the baby was collicky and now my naturopath is getting me to take an herbal supplement for my adrenals because she thinks I have the symptoms of adrenal exhaustion. She has also given me a homeopathic combination for the palpitations but taking it made me feel them more. I have also had systemic yeast since the pregnancy (just found out) and I am taking a herbal remedy but it seems that every time I take something to 'kill' anything it makes the palpitations worse.

Have you used homeopathic medicines before? If so what, and what homeopathic potencies did you use?
sepia (from a traditional homeopath who thought it was my consitutional remedy but it did nothing except give me this 'twitch' in my stomach that went to my rectum and I still have it)
other remedies for first aid like belladonna for fever
Nat Mur MK once a week for a month because of the postpartum issues I told the naturopath about.
some homeopath combinations (one for lymphatic system, one for the kidneys and one for the nervous system)
silica the traditional homeopath tried for the 'twitch' but it didn't help.
homeopath combinations for cleansing of yeast and parasites.

Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.
1. Describe your main suffering? heart palpitations
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body? candida, food sensitivities, twitch in rectum, insomnia off and on, low blood pressure, extreme sensitive to cold.
3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings? anxiety, fear, worry
4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst? Describe the sensation in your own words.
It feels like my breath is taken away and I sometimes have to cough. It feels like a pound unexpectedly or a wooshing sensation like I am drowning for a split second.
I feel like I am panicking and anxious and afraid I am dieing.
5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
when I got pregnant with my second daughter it started. we were not planning her and I was still nursing. I was underweight and not the best in health because my first daughter had allergies and I had to cut food out of my diet. I had insomnia, nausea, faster heart rate. I also got vaginal prolapse with the first baby and it completely changed my life putting physical restraints on my body when before I was very active.
6. Which time of the day you are worst? it is never consistent. sometimes I feel it a lot during the day and sometimes never.
7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same? Example- time, temperature, pressure, rubbing, washing, eating, tight clothing etc.
being sick aggrevates it. when I get sick my heart beats faster and I get more palpitations. if I haven't eaten in a couple hours that sometimes makes it worse. if I am stressed out in a rush. sometimes if I get up too quickly or sit down too quickly. if I am nervous.
what makes it better is massage, being totally relaxed and praying
8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)? I have not noticed.
9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
neither too hot or too cold

11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly? I fear suffering, something happening to my kids
12. What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions?
I crave breads, baked goods, hot drinks, dairy, chips (I am intolerant to potatoes though) I can't have dairy because of the candida and it makes my vaginal prolapse feel worse. I don't like raw vegetables.
