The heart palpitations are a symptom of a larger underlying autonomic
cross-wiring. When I first began to get the palpitations, I had lots of
fancy tests done, including a lot of bloodwork, and all my levels of various
elements (especially K and Mg) and my thyroid were all well within normal
ranges. I think it is something I will just have to live with, but I had
hoped to lessen the effects. Also, thanks a lot for those cholesterol links!
