Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Carmen I agree with on improvement with increased CpQ. Also, have you tried to elevate the head of your bed. If you have a recliner, you might want to try a couple of nights in it. My dad sleeps in his recliner many nights due to arrythmia. He has congestive heart failure and a pace maker, but it still helps greatly. laurie > I continue to have bouts of arrythmias that wake me up racing like > crazy. I cannot take beta-blockers.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Carmen Be sure to check with your doctor. Research with Parkinson's showed that 1000 mg to 1200 mg is what was needed to see improvement. I take that much, but you might get improvement. If the doctor approves, be sure to increase gradually. We often have problems with rapid increases of anything and you don't want to pay for extra that you don't need. It is also a good idea to stick to the same brand as different brands work differently. laurie > I take 450mg. a day, how do I know what is the right amount? > > dgregori dgregori@...> wrote:I used to have night time arrythemias until I got my daily CoQ10 levels > up to where they needed to be.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Most of the mito docs recommend between 10-15 mg per kg of body weight per day. There have been studies done on Parkinson's patients where they use even higher doses than that. Carnitor (Rx L-Carnitine) works in conjunction with CoQ10 and so it helps if the two are taken together instead of separately. If you haven't already looked, you should check out both http://umdf.org/ and http://www.google.com/u/MDA?domains=www.mdausa.org&sitesearch=www.mdausa.org&q=m\ ito&sa=Go Carmen Berlin wrote: >I take 450mg. a day, how do I know what is the right amount? > >dgregori dgregori@...> wrote:I used to have night time arrythemias until I got my daily CoQ10 levels >up to where they needed to be.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I had similar symptoms - they turned out to be a direct result of having caffiene, especially later in the day. I have slow heartbeat patterns during the day, but get arrhythmias (from 50 to 120 bpm) at night if I have caffiene. I never had a problem with caffiene until this year, and the only other thing that's different is that I now have asthma, but probably due to seasonal allergies. My cardiologist gave me an episode monitor, which found the arrhythmias pretty well, in addition to the slow heartbeat episodes. I suppose it is possible you are reacting to a deficiency or excess of vitamins or electrolytes, but I wouldn't know which ones...
