I had heart-stopping, thought-I-was-dying, pounding, hammering palps for at least 20 years. I celebrated my 66 birthday, and the pummeling is completely gone. Almost 14 years ago, I had a stroke. I couldn’t speak and walk. Not pretty.
Thank God for the dentist. The dentist pulled mercury fillings the teeth in ’05 or ’06. Slowly but surely, I’m better. No more palpitations and no more disorienting panic attacks.
The mercury fillings are gone. Suddenly, I have my life back. The dentist is a plain old dentist, not mercury-free, extracting the old, decrepit silver fillings; at least 40 years. Before, I had a hard time speaking. I parsed out words and phrases. Remember, I’m little bit aphasic; words fail me. Eventually, the dentist and I commutated well. “Mercury...pull out...”, you know, gumless? After, I speak well. Well, sort of.
Lopressor is a wonderful drug. After the stroke, the doctor said my palpitations are under control. Not true. Metoprolol is a generic form of Lopressor. I took the medication, but all of a sudden, without warning the palpitations recurred with a vengeance. I get that; Lopressor reduced the heart rate. Today, I’m palpitation-free.
I'm almost too late.
Read my blog, (yes, another blog, but it’s really good). http://mercury-fillings-and-the-odd-stroke.blogspot.com/2012/08/mercury-fillings-and-stroke.html Specifically, "palpitations". http://mercury-fillings-and-the-odd-stroke.blogspot.com/2012/08/palpitations.html It's a good read.
