large doses of coenzyme Q10 will help
and it alleviated my blood pressure problems as well. try at least 300 mg of a good Kaneka Q10 or Kaneka ubiquinol in a lesser dosage.
I gave my experience and advice and it was free
[QUOTE=lukamar;138639391]Your post is close to giving medical advice and recommending treatment. While I know you are just trying to be helpful, if indeed the OP takes your advice rather than doing the proper thing and being thoroughly checked out by a doctor it could be harmful to his health.
mtlbigblue have it checked by a doctor, do not treat yourself.[/QUOTE]
Just like all the advice on here. Lots of others did the same. I personally believe doctors do more harm than good except in emergency situations such as accidents. My opinion. I often advise people NOT to go to the doctor because I do not believe the doctor will find the cause of the problem but will treat the symptoms with drugs and, ultimately the person will suffer from drug side effects or other symptoms caused by an underlying problem. There are very few doctors I have felt were trustworthy..ok only one.
My advice was based upon the written reviews of many people that have taken Coenzyme Q10 and have done well when "medical" treatment failed.
You gave advice you considered "proper". I did not slam you but feel the person should decide for himself what is "proper".
Your Caffeine/Supplementation Intake?
I had similar symptoms except mine happened at rest. Even woke me up a few times.
I don't know what triggered it, but I would get off any supps with any kind of stimulants. After about 3 years of some regularity, I can only feel it a couple times a year or so. Never felt bad or light headed.
Before it settled down, I did go through some stuff. It happened at my GP's office when I was hooked up to EKG. It was so irregular, she sent someone to borrow another doc's machine cause she thought hers was defective. Then they had the nurse take me to the hospital (wouldn't let me drive) where they gave me a shot in the stomach.
I would say mine was definitely stress related, and to a lesser degree hereditary.
Best of luck to you.
Ignorance is bliss.and so is conjecture ut coenzyme Q10 is taken internally
[QUOTE=JoeFab;138775381]Wow. I think you must have an ax to grind against the medical establishment or something like that.
So here are two scenarios:
You - a friend comes up to you and says he has this discoloration on his arm. You say, don't go to the doctor, put some coenzyme q10 on it and you will be oK.
Me - same friend comes to me, I say go to the doctor. Friend finds out he has the early stages of melanoma and gets treatment and lives.
You- the friend puts CE-Q10 in the mark for a month, it gets worse, he goes to the doctor, its too late and then he dies.
You either had some kind of personal tragedy befall you or someone you care about or you are a wack-o. My opinion.[/QUOTE]
Coenzyme Q10 is a nutrional supplement with many studies showing its efficacy for heart health. Statins, in particular, deplete this vital energy component from the body and heart. This supplement is not meant to be rubbed on (your ignorance is appalling). I used to take 3 medicines for high blood pressure but now take none since including coenzyme Q10 in my supplement regimen. A few people have been advised by their doctors to take this substance but most doctors are not conversant with nutrition at all. They treat symptoms of disease with drugs and I choose not to go that way.
I made a suggestion based in my personal experience and knowledge. Any idiot can saym "Go see a doctor". If he wantsto he can go see a doctor but if he wants a nutrional and less harmful approach he can consider my advice. No one is forcing him to take it. Considereing over 100,000 people a year die from prescribed medications in the USA, I consider it a safe and sane approach. This does not count the medical malpractice and errors plus the unnessary surgeries which kill many thousands more. These figures are really too low because of self reporting by hospitals and physicians. Everyone should be afraid to go to the doctor unless they know their doctor will not do them harm and will take a holistic approach. If your appendix is inflamed or your leg is broken you must see a doctor but for most "disease" the cure is in the cupboard or the health food store. KNowledge is the key to this and informed consent is not always an option with doctors. If you do not accept the treatment they recommend they will often not treat you at all. The consumer should be in charge of his own life and health. I choose to take that path and I have good insurance. My daughter is a nurse and I have lived with two nurses and they all said the same thing, "Stay away from the doctor if you want to live a long time".
Lukamar I'd like to know what you know about an appropriate dosage of coenzyme Q10? I have taken it and feel thats appropriate based on my experience. I currently take the more potent ubiquinol and only take 100 mg per day. This site has a steroid section where people routinely suggest dosages of steroids, thyroid medication, insulin, and HGH and you should go monitor that if you are an expert at judging whats appropriate.
you tried to make me look like a culprit for suggesting a natural alternative
[QUOTE=lukamar;138798251]Don't try and twist it around to make it look like I'm the culprit here. I know nothing about the dosage of CoQ10 or the dosages for a lot of other drugs either that has nothing to do with it. I'm not the one that recommended the OP take a supplement instead of having what could be a potentially serious heart problem checked out by a doctor. [b]YOU[/b] were that person so don't try and slide out the door blaming it on me to divert attention from yourself. [b]You recommended the dosage and treatment [/b]and that was just downright wrong and could result in grave consequences to the OP.[/QUOTE]
You are assuming I'm wrong although you have no knowledge of what I recommended. I take full responsibility for my advice. Looking at your picture I can hardly believe you make a living as a trainer but anything is possible I guess. I did not criticize your advice nor would I waste my time when you look like you could pass on any time.
