Hi Kimberly, A few things came to mind while I was reading your e-mail to EC. l. Have you ever heard of the pulse test for allergies? This theory is that the pulse rate at rest increases 20 or more beats per minute after eating or drinking something you are allergic to. Maybe you have some severe allergies. 2. Magnesium plays a big part of regulating the heart rate. If this is the problem, you should start magnesium supplements immediately. The Bcomplex vitamins also help in this area. 3. If you haven't already done so, on line search "excitotoxins" and print out names monosodium glutamate(MSG) is hidden under in ingredients lists. Two of the major excitotoxins are MSG and aspartame (Nutri-sweet), both of which most all of our processed foods are laden with, and both of which are known to cause cardiac irregularities. One source I read even blamed sudden deaths on otherwise healthy people, who ingested a lot of aspartame (in diet drinks and diet foods). Try to eliminate as much of these two excitotoxins as you can and if the symptoms decrease, you'll know that you have found the cause.
