Irregular heartbeat and palpitations

[Rodney]

I was told by the cardiologist to Stop taking the Metoprolol med I’d been taking for 8 yrs because my heart rate bumped down to 40 bpm because being on Carnivore apparently is healing my heart and I don’t need the med anymore! But I still have the symptoms mentioned in the title, tho the pulse is no longer so low since 3 days being off the med, it’s actually high at around 95 bpm.. I have hope that the heart will be healed of the skipped beats etc if I keep on Carnivore, been on 3 mos thus far, anybody got any input??

I’m an Afiber. Bob here did an interview with me about how carnivore has helped to reverse my heart disease. 
2 months in on carnivore my cardiologist took me off of Metropolol because my diet had brought my BP down to normal levels but the drug was bringing me down too low artificially. 
Six months later he took me off of my other heart med, Flecinide, and said he only wants to see me once a year now. 
I rarely have and heart palpitations or PVC’s anymore. 
I have been a carnivore for 691 days.

Good timing for this post.  I’ve been on metropolol for about 5 months now.  I bought an Apple Watch a couple months ago and I’ve discovered my heart rate has been getting very low, sometimes into the upper 30’s.  I don’t have a cardiologist here in Florida so I asked for a telemedicine appointment with my doc in Ny.  I was told I have to be in NY to get a telemedicine appointment.  I cut my dosage in half (it was 25mg) and still had the issue.  Yesterday I stopped taking it altogether.  I’ll be home on the 19th of April and will go in then.  I was put on the med due to my heart rate being over 100, 12% of the time when I wore a Holter for 3 days.

Keep us updated on what your doc has to say Thomas.

Oh not at all, that is how I found U on here! Another fellow replied here and said he’s been having the same problem as myself, must not be uncommon! Your real name is Geoff correct? Since getting off the Metoprolol now for 6 days my pulse is no longer in the 40’s and is actually around 95 avg, and I’m still having very irregular beat and palpitations and they have me on a monitor for a week.. Do U or did U take low dose aspirin? Do U do dairy?

My heart rate was 40 avg but now actually high at 95 avg since off Metoprolol for 6 days now, and still very irregular beating and palpitations, so I’m hoping and praying that will normalize, and the same for U as well, let me know how it goes! So you’re doing Carnivore? Where U at in NY, I lived in Upstate for 20 yrs (Binghamton) near the PA border and spent a lot of time in Brooklyn and Queens doing Ministry work, am in Louisiana now..

Yes my name is Geoff. 
I'm wondering if your doctor took you off of the metoprolol too soon. Mine took me off of it because my BP was getting dangerously low but it’s my understanding that it’s best to slowly ween off of heart meds. You might need to start taking a half dose or a full dose every other day. 
I was taking a full dose aspirin every evening before I went to bed but I’ve stopped taking it as well. You might look into taking a magnesium supplement such as Magnesium Glutamine. Magnesium is very beneficial for the heart. 
Yes I do dairy but limited. I go through about a stick a day of butter and I’ll have heaping tablespoon of my homemade yogurt everyday. On the rare occasions when I eat cheese I try to make sure it’s made from whole milk.

Thanks for the reply, I did get off the med in about a 2 wk span by my own choice and I had to take 1/4 of the reg dosage because heart was beating around 40bpm, tho the doc at the ER and also my Cardiologist both said don’t have to, my Cardiologist even said he’d like to know where I heard that because he was totally clueless about it! Anyway I’ve been totally off it for almost a week and gonna have to stay off.. I’ve been praying Geoff to get off the med for some time now and am looking to my Lord and Savior Jesus by Whose stripes I am healed! I am and have been taking a good magnesium supplement for the heart and was taking potassium also but neither have corrected the very irregular beat and palpitations.. I asked about dairy because I’ve been doing cottage cheese, sour cream straight out the container, and for a week or so was drinking A2 milk because I Love and crave dairy on Carnivore, and I’m wondering if the carbs, little as they may be, maybe be affecting me.. So I’m getting off dairy for awhile Lord willing! And I do quite a bit of butter also and may keep doing that unless I decide to try the Lion diet like my friend Dante Ferrigno.. Thanks again Geoff, I believe it was a God thing that I saw your video with Kerry at this time! Any further input is welcome!
