i posted about 2 months ago that i was experiencing palpitations, which the cardiologist blamed on ginseng after doing an echo and finding no problems. he advised i stop the ginseng. i did, and for about 4 weeks the palpitations declined in frequency and amount. then i started experiencing them again. they seem to be getting increasinly more frequent, with 5 or 6 in a row instead of the 1 i was experiencing previously. since my echo was clear and there were no structural problems, do you suggest i return to the cardiologist? i do not smoke, rarely drink, avoid caffeine as much as possible (given up coffee completely and have chocolate occasionally), and am not under a lot of stress. Thank you for your help.
