How serious is heart palpitation? Shall I see a doctor?
[QUOTE=cklein82;651761033]i Don't know if anyone is still interested in this being nearly a year old post but.....
"As for the palpitations ~ These could be PVC's (premature ventricular contractions), PVB's (premature vent beats) or EVB's (extrasystole ventric beats) all the same thing, most times they are benign but see a cardiologist as tests need to be done to confirm no structual defects are present i.e heart valves blood tests to inc lft,tft,rheumatic fever, glandular fever screening, echocardiogram, 12 lead ecgs etc,
contributing factors are "
I had been using ON gold standard Whey for 2 years without any problems. I bought Elite Gourmet Casein and had 5 scoops in nearly 7 days. Since then I have developed those nasty palpitations. These occur like once in 30 min. My question is how to decide about the seriousness of palpitations? Shall I consult a doctor right away or shall I wait for 1-2 weeks after leaving protien shakes.
Guys! I have been having these palpitations too! and I think I know WHY!!
Guys! I am so glad I found this post as I felt like I was the only one with everyone I would ask! I have been having heart palpitations as well... I have been taking ON 100% whey but not the all natural version.... as well as Cytogainer! last year I went through one of the most scariest and depressing times of my life.. I REALLY thought I was going to die ....I noticed every time I would pick my legs up or having my legs elevated higher than my upper body it would cause palpitations and NO I do not have any prior heart conditions and have always been extremely healthy...
The palpitations have been happening on and off for about a year... I even visited the doctor last year around the spring time and had an EKG test and it revealed everything was normal and fine.... I did noticed stress increased my palitaions a bit but i know for sure it did not start it... One night as I was laying in bed I felt the palpitations so much so that I thought I was going to die that very instant it was sad as hell!.. anyways I read this forum last month and really wanted to post but didn't get the chance... so I came back today after doing a bit more research and I just wanted to share my experience AS WELL AS share a bit of my research as well! ...
It really sucks because I bought a new 5LB tub of Cyto-gainer and 100% WHEY and I found this post after buying them and felt like i wasted about $120 so I have been still using them telling myself that it would be the last time using those and will switch to NATURAL gold standard .. OR nothing at all and just invest in real FOOD etc. Anyways guys I hope you come back and read my reply as well as hear this.... I was relieved to hear that others were having the same prob and also relieved that you guys narrowed it down but the truth is.... I am not sure if anyone here mentioned this but I believe this could be the real reason (or contributing factor at the least) of why we have been getting these palps! ready?......
SUCRALOSE!!! the artificial sweetener... no it does not have as bad of a REPUTATION as aspartame BUT only because it hasn't been out long enough!! So just like I googled " whey protein causing heart palpitations" I, today, googled "sucralose causing heart palpitations" and found ALOT of stuff! here is one of the forums that I found that made me feel like maybe I should just discontinue use today so that i don't screw myself over because of the feeling of loosing money!...
well i was going to give a link but I see I have to have 50 or more posts to do so! so just google the search term "sucralose causing heart palpitations" ... Good luck to you all.. and ALL the best! the FDA is poisoning us... call it Conspiracy Theory all you want.. IT IS THE TRUTH.
My body is f***ed for TWO MONTHS?!
hi guys, I had also been consuming 1,5 scoop of ON's whey protein standard for nearly 5 weeks before the attacks came....I was having severe insomnia, heart palpitations, increased thirst, nausea, muscle spasms and bloating...I stopped taking this **** two moths ago, the attacks have been reduced but are still here....especially when I eat a large meal, my stomach becomes bloated like a balloon and the palpitations start....is this possible that the MSG is still in my system? When will I be normal again?
