Heart spams solotuion for me

[Quirky2]

I use to have heart spasms, and that is was continous.  For several years, it worsened, and was occuring at the rate of one or two per minute, 24/7.

A limited diet since 2002, caused depletion of many nutrients.

None of the doctors I saw, nutritionists and so called experts suggested anything helpful.

I thought perhaps I was low on amino acids, and the clue there, was that upon eating lamb,
the heart would calm down.  This wore off, and the lamb was no longer sufficient.

I started pea protein powder (a few teaspoons daily on its own), two weeks ago, zero heart spasms!!
I was probably either very low on amino acids, and pea protein powder is high in amino acids content, or I had some type of protein metabolic dysfunction.

What I find annoying here, is that this could have been dealt with by one of the numerous experts I consulted over the years....  Often, we have to read, and do our own research to solve an issue, and I believe, I saved my own life or at the very least, another heart attack!!

In my case I went to the ER on numerous occasions thinking I was having another heart attack.  It took some seraching and paying more attention to my symptoms. Last April I was able to convince the ICU nurses to look at the data from the monitors. Every time I had a spasm the monitors went crazy.  They told me the lines and alarms went off because I had moved. I knew better. It was finally caught!  It takes some due diligence to get an accurate answer sometimes.

Thanks for your comments.  You are correct doctors sometimes don't take symptoms seriously, misdiagnose, or just don't know the answer. Seven years ago, I had to do may own research on the symptoms, treatment options, etc.  It probably didn't save my life, but it certainly can reduce anxiety!

Take care,
