And trying to get enough potassium from bananas would drive me bananas.
Supplements
Potassium in blood is tested as a part of electrolytes testing. If one has low potassium he would definitely feel very bad and it is usually addressed in ER, not by increasing potassium supplementation, for it could be extremely dangerous.
There is a reason why potassium is low, finding the reason before attempting manipulate with it is very important.

Thank you for the reminder, I remember it now and your glowing report! I'm glad you found your answer for insomnia because many people never do.
I just realized, looking at your list of supplements that you don't have potassium on there. I was too busy looking at your list in terms of which supplements had the potential to cause palpitations, so I wasn't really looking at it in terms of what might be missing that could help alleviate palpitations.
The hard part about supplementing potassium is that it is only available in 99 mg capsules or tablets whereas 1600 - 2000 mg/day is thought to be adequate, but I doubt that that is an optimal dose for adults who may be hypokalemic and some people go substantially higher, but you can see that if you are low, you're going to have to swallow a bunch of those 99 mg pills everyday. There isn't an established RDA for potassium and that seems to add to the problem. The following Healthline article says that getting 3500 mg to 4700 mg/day of potassium from various foods is possible and healthful :
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-potassium-per-day
Here is a relevant article quote :
' Potassium is an essential mineral for health. Getting between 3, 500 milligrams and 4, 700 milligrams a day from tomatoes, spinach, sweet potatoes, and other fruits and vegetables may lower your risk of kidney stones, stroke, and high blood pressure. '
Here is an article discussing the relationship of potassium and palpitations :
Interestingly, the following article suggests that low potassium (hypokalemia) can cause the following symptoms :
' Hypokalemia may mimic neurovegetative symptoms, such as weakness, lethargy, apathy, fatigue, and depressed mood (2). Additionally, hypokalemia can mimic anxiety reactions, such as headache, irritability, nervousness, paresthesias, visual disturbances, and muscle discomfort (3). '
These symptoms seem similar to some SAD symptoms.
Here is a link to that article :
Further, blackstrap molasses contains a significant amount of potassium. You didn't say how much you are taking so I don't know exactly how much potassium the BSM is delivering, but it has fairly high content as foods go.
Have you had your potassium level checked recently??? If not, perhaps you might consider it.
One way that people avoid having to take a bunch of potassium pills is by buying potassium in bulk powder and then mixing their dose of potassium powder in orange juice and drinking it. If you try and reach those dosing levels with pills, that's 35 to 47 pills a day! Most people are not getting anywhere near these levels everyday.
There are quite a few things that can cause low potassium.
Good luck and keep us updated on your progress!

We ended on Magnesium Oil Spray, Melatonin 5mg, Zinc 15mg and if I know I am going to have a harder time, I add a little chamomile lol. Sleep like a baby. I stopped the melatonin because it was making me groggy so I only do that once in a blue moon! (The article was also in conjunction with Nocturia) but jeez now you say there is a connection between melly and possibly helping with heart palpitation or arrythmia?
Hm interesting. Might have to start taking melatonin again lol. I know they mention a few different doses in that article about melatonin and arrythmia, is there a specific dosage you would suggest I try? 5mg makes me a zombie in the morning.
Here is your article.

My glowing review is still there lol.
So far the Flax Seed ground up with Coconut milk and BSM seems to be working, though I can still feel a little "fluttering" in my chest and a little shortness of breath.
But, then these heart palps have been going on for a long while so maybe whatever I depleted (magnesium?!?) just needs time to regulate again. I'll keep doing that along with the 420mg of magnesium citrate.
Thanks to Art and everyone else that is is helping!

I'm glad you were able to improve the insomnia situation! What did you use for the insomnia, I can't remember the post.
The following study suggests that aside from melatonin's beneficial heart effects it may also help with arrythmia. Not quite the same as palpitations, but in the same area of heart health :
https://www.hindawi.com/journals/omcl/2021/8876792/
Here is a relevant study quote :
' Despite the knowledge on repairing mechanisms in the cardiovascular system, effective antiaging strategies able to reduce the risk of arrhythmias are still missing. Melatonin is a promising therapeutic candidate due to its pleiotropic actions. This indoleamine regulates chronobiology and endocrine physiology. Of relevance, melatonin is an antiaging, antioxidant, antiapoptotic, antiarrhythmic, immunomodulatory, and antiproliferative molecule. This review focuses on the protective effects of melatonin on age-induced cardiac functional and structural alterations, potentially becoming a new fountain of youth for the heart. '
I think the melatonin lotion I wrote about, would be an easy way to get enough and be good for your skin wherever you apply it.
Btw, several of the other supplements you are taking are noted for helping palpitations, but apparently not in your case. Keep us posted on what you find out.

Out of the ones you listed, I had been using Tyrosine, fish oil, Theanine, Mucuna and NAC only until very recently and I've had the heart palps for longer than that time. I started taking these for S.A.D. So that's probably not it.
I started to take the S.A.D stuff on or around December 3,2023.
For the Vitamin D I only stopped taking about 4 days ago.
I should mention my birthday is on March 9th and I will be 43. I was thinking maybe I COULD be in Perimenopause. I really hope that if that is the case, I am not going to have to be living with heart palps for 4 to 11 years lol.
I've hardly ever had these in my life and tend to be pretty healthy despite a few issues like anxiety and S.A.D so feeling out of sorts is pretty uncomfortable.
Heart palps started 2 months before the S.A.D supplements were started.

A quick look at your list and I think these have the potential to potentially cause palpitations in some people :
1. L Tyrosine
2. Fish Oil
3. L Theanine
4. Possibly the Mucuna
5. You didn't say how long since you stopped vitamin D3, but if it has been months low vitamin D3 can affect electrolytes so an indirect possibility.
6. NAC

I can physically FEEL my heart trying to regulate. Like I get a little flutter and then it goes away.
Heart palpitations are terrible, I think they suck even more for people with anxiety because you start to think "Omg, am I dying?" lmao. Panic sets in quick when you have anxiety and anything goes wrong.

I've been having HORRIBLE heart palps for the past few months.
I thought it was caffeinated coffee so I quit cold turkey. Still got 'em.
I am on a protocol for S.A.D right now and one of the things I am taking is Glycinate but I've only been doing it for about 2 1/2 weeks. Maybe it takes time or that is the wrong mag for heart palps.
I am desperate. It gets so crazy when your heart beats like that!

I just want to report an incident that happened to me recently that may be good for others to know. I was trying to increase my potassium intake since I've had little or no appetite since my husband died. I ordered some powdered potassium chloride, and after taking the recommended amount for five days my heart went nuts! I suddenly had an irregular, racing heartbeat with discomfort across the top of my chest! I was concerned enough to take myself to drive half an hour to the nearest emergency room where I was put on a machine that apparently monitored my heartbeat for all to see. Nothing was done by the staff to fix the problem. I laid there and laid there until I was really bored.
The only thing happening around me was the occasional visit by a nurse, and sometimes I'd hear a group of nurses and what have you laughing, like down a hallway. It seemed I laid there for at least 2 hours and finally was so sick of it, ha, ha, that I suddenly got the notion to see what would happen if I did some slow, deep breathing. I took only a few of those deep breaths, check my pulse and it was normal!!
Then, one of the emergency staff came over, and, looking at the monitor, said, well, I see we're back to a regular heartbeat! I told the woman what I had done and was met with silence. Days later, while at a doctor's office, the same thing happened. I said I felt I had corrected my heart rhythm with deep breathing, and the doctor just got a very skeptical look on his face and didn't say anything. Ha, ha, but, it's really unfortunate that we have this divide, like our political divide. I wish MDs had a more rounded education.
Since that episode, I am noticing an occasional palpitation that would go away on its own, but I can stop it faster by breathing deeply. Interesting how all these various parts of us are connected, the brain-gut connection, brain-heart connection. I think there's a brain-breath connection, too.
Here's a bit from a website called "premier heart and vascular.com":
"Can breathing exercises stop palpitations? Deep breathing that causes your abdomen to rise and fall can calm a racing heart. Make sure to breathe slowly and deeply, inhaling through your nose and exhaling either through your nose or mouth. Repeat this deep breathing pattern until your symptoms go away, and your heart is beating normally. Sep 5,2019"
p.s. I'm 78.

My racing heart after years of the unknown cause is now clear…. First dehydration, second inflammation of the Vagus nerve, racing heart, all tied together. You get dehydrated, any injury that affects the Vagus nerve, including reflux, aggravates it. It controls heart rate, then all of a sudden racing heart (over 100) takes hold. It took me years to figure this out.
So, the treatment, immediately hydrate, get some electrolytes (since they are now out of whack), and start taking every 5 hours advil and add Turmeric for inflammation. Also, I added magnesium (in spray on form) or epsom salts work too. Your electrolytes need rebalancing also. You take the Advil til the inflammation in your Vagus nerve calms down, maybe be a week or two. I have a neck disc problem that is the culprit…and when dehydration affects your discs, they can inflame the Vagus nerve.
I have solved the problem, no more fear of high heart rate, all with the help of water, magnesium spray (on Amazon), turmeric, every 5 hours advil, and limit caffeine, add eletrolytes to rebalance. If you have reflux, you have a hiatal hernia most likely, push it down and take tums…..all of this works…finally, and no doctor helped…I am finally free of this symptom and if I forget or relapse, I repeat the above protocol.

My PVCs began hard and heavy during a stressful time of my life. Ironically, I was having acid reflux issues at the same time. I decided to take a course of Prevacid to counter the reflux and noticed that my PVCs began to improve. I just assumed the PVCs were winding down because the stress was. Be advised that I have "silent" Reflux, which means I don't usually experience symptoms even though I do have the reflux. I also don't take meds unless I have to.
So, as my Reflux felt better, I chose to stop the Prevacid. Shortly thereafter, the PVCs came back with a vengeance. So I began to experiment. I would start a round of antacids and then take a break for a while. Always on the breaks the PVCs became worse. Not wanting to take Prevacid the rest of my life, I started drinking baking soda every night before bed. This simple trick substantially improved my PVCs. Basically taking them from unbearable to manageable. I have done this for 2 years now.
Okay, recently I began taking ginger supplements. I noticed at that my PVCs were so rare, I felt normal again. I did not at the time make the connection with the ginger. However, about a week after I stopped the ginger, my PVCs started coming back. Again I bought more ginger and again noticed improvement within days.
I finally put everything together. I believe my PVCs are directly linked to my acid reflux. A trunkline nerve runs down your GI tract to the heart. It is called the vagus nerve. When your acid reflux acts up your GI tract becomes inflamed. It is my opinion that this inflammation aggravates the vagus nerve and thus leads the heart to misfire.
I do not believe I am cured of PVCs as they show up occasionally. However, God has given me my normal life back.
The protocol I use is as follows:
Baking Soda: 1/2 teaspoon mixed with 1 ounce of water at bedtime.
Ginger: 1100mg tablet daily.

I was fine during but it was at the cool down period where I got the palpitations. Of course this sent me into a tizzy and I ended up having a few panic attacks. I went to the doc and he gave me atenolol and a water pill for my high BP, which was been high since I was pregnant. It seems to help as I haven't had them quite as much, but they still manage to creep in. I'm wondering if my hormones have anything to do with it. I'm also under stress having an autistic toddler. I'd just really like them to go away once and for all. It's always a good day when I haven't had them. I'm a 35 year old female.

if you have not already, replace all your drinks with water, for about a week and see the difference. instead of coffee or tea have a hot cup of water. Water. water, water. When someone ask what you want to drink say "Water please". No caffeine at all. it made a big difference for me after only two days. just water and food and that little change can make a big difference.
You may get a withdrawal headache, but each day it should be lighter.

Cardiac Ablation
I have a mild form of paroxysmal fibrillation which I have been able to control thus far with proper hydration, yoga, potassium and magnesium supplements and cutting back on caffeine. However, I have a nephew who had a severe, debilitating a-fib problem which sent him to the hospital on numerous occasions with chest pain, nausea and weakness. His problem was corrected through ablation almost 30 years ago, and he has never had another recurrence. This procedure was a blessing for him. The post-procedure weakness you mentioned is probably due to the anesthesia in the operating room - not a result of the procedure itself.
