Lucinda,Could be magnesium deficiency or potassium deficiency.If you had tests for magnesium serum blood test are not a goodindicator of levels.What type of magnesium are you taking?What dosage?Potassium the RDI is 3500. Do you get that much each day?From: Lucinda Moody <moodylk@...>iodine Sent: Sun, 13 March, 2011 17:01:53Subject: how long for heart arrhythmias??

I started Lugol's in December and by the time of my pacemaker check in January, I was showing brief episodes of both atrial tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia--only a few seconds at a time. I am guessing it is from the iodine, since I did not have this before. (Pacemaker was put in for tachy-brady syndrome caused because my brain sends the wrong signals to my heart--born with Arnold Chiari Malformation Type 1; spina bifida at C-1, T-??, and L-5; intracranial hypertension--the cause of the bradycardia.)

The arrhythmias are not serious and do not require any additional treatment. I just would like to know how long this usually lasts? I am taking the celtic salt and all the companion nutrients. Since I started the iodine, I have also been able to completely wean off HC. I did lower my Armour Thyroid dose for a while because of high heart rates, but then the weight started pouring on... So I am easing back up on the Thyroid and noticing more arrhythmias again. Any ideas??

Hi ,

I am currently taking Magnesium Citrate-- 900mg/ day divided into four doses.

I need to add up the potassium in my food and see where my levels are.

Thanks,

Lucinda

Lucinda,

If you had tests for magnesium serum blood test are not a good

indicator of levels.

What type of magnesium are you taking?

What dosage?

Potassium the RDI is 3500. Do you get that much each day?
