I have tried acupunture but it made uncomfortable can acupresure work on my heart palpitations?

Answer 1

No, I haven't tried acupuncture, sorry I can't advise on that. However, heart palpitations can be a symptom of vitamin B12 deficiency - eat more foods rich in this vitamin ie: organ meats such as lambs fry and kidneys, skimmed milks and cheese, fish and eggs.

Other symptoms of B12 deficiency are nausea and vomiting, headaches and migraines, fatigue and exhaustion, depression, irritability and moodiness, inability to think clearly,dizzy spells, loss of balance,insomnia and constipation, excessive sweating and even chest pains !! Quite scary actually if you don't realise the vitamin factor.

If you are vegetarian or lactose then go get yourself some good quality multi B complex tablets including all the B's - B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 - as they work best together.

The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither store or produce them and we need to ingest them on a daily basis .......... or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are.

When our bodies are placed under extra stress ie: school studies, new job new home, everyday living really, our precious stores of B vitamins are usually the first to get used up so we need to adjust our intake accordingly ie: if you're headachy, grumpy, sweaty etc. simply take another B tablet. For B12 to be properly assimilated through the stomach it is necessary to be combined with calcium during absorption to adequately benefit the body so take them with a glass of milk or a piece of cheese.


Take care of you♥

Answer 2

Three very common causes of recurring heart palpitations are: 1) Magnesium deficiency, 2) Potassium deficiency, and 3) Essential Fatty Acid deficiency (especially of omega-3 fatty acids). Sadly, all of these nutrient deficiencies are very common today.

You may want to try a quality Magnesium supplement (e.g. Magnesium citrate or Magnesium glycinate), a Potassium citrate supplement, and a good fish oil supplement for the needed essential fatty acids. Additionally, be sure to eat at least 5-7 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day, and 3 servings of true whole grain foods.

Best wishes and good luck.

P.S. I just searched the medical literature on Pubmed/Medline. There is NO listed scientific research indicating palpitations can be caused by a B12 deficiency.

I'm a Japanese Acupuncturist, so I'll tell you my opinion.
As you know, Acupuncture is based on various thoughts. For example, based on Anatomy and Physiology, Qi, Autonomic Nervous system and many other traditional thoughts.
Acupuncture can treat your Heart Palpitations, but if you don't feel comfortable with it, you don't have to be treated by Acupuncture. Autonomic Nervous system also have an important roll to change your Heart Rate, you know.
Acupressure isn't affective as Acupuncture itself, because it won't hurt your tissues. Small injur in your body enhance your healing power. So, in Japan, Acupressure is considered more comfortable than Acupuncture, but it won't last at all.

I hope my English dosen't lead you misunderstanding.

Take care of yourself.

Answer 4

I have had palpitations too, though mostly as a child. I recently had some episodes, however, and breathing excercises seemed to help. I've had acupuncture and while having blood draws terrify me, acupuncture generally does not. Perhaps you just had a bad experience with one practitioner.

If you didn't, you might benefit from having an energy therapist teach you EFT (emotional freedom technique).

Good luck.

Answer 5

No, it would be best to see a cardiologist and determine the cause of your heart palpitations before doing anything.
