Arrhythmia with nocturnal apnea

by | Feb 29, 2012 | Columns, Healing Lyme, heart/lung, SLEEP, Symptoms | 0 comments

Dear Stephen,
I have been struggling with arrhythmia, nocturnal apnea and insomnia for several months. I feel like I am suffocating in my sleep. The Holter test showed in my case a number of irregularities: Pause in heartbeats/asystole (max 3,2 sec) with AV block and bradycardia – but only during sleep. Rhythm disturbances, tightness in the heart and shortness of breath wake me in the middle of the night, and it is becoming increasingly serious. I have used herbs such as hawthorn, cats claw, eleutherococcus, Polygonum cuspidatum, andro – basic protocol, (and in the meantime I discovered that green tea intensified my symptoms) but nothing helps. Can you recommend something to me that would help me with my symptoms?
Stephen’s response:
Sida acuta (1 tsp 3x daily 2 weeks, then ½ tsp thereafter), red root (1/2 tsp 3x daily), l-arginine (5000mg daily in 3 divided doses), ashwagandha ½ tsp tincture just before bed (melatonin liquid as well), hawthorn (3000 mg daily) knotweed, 3000 mg daily.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have active herpes, chicken pox, or shingles DO NOT USE L-arginine.
Stephen

This protocol was incredible. After only a few weeks most of my symptoms were gone. After six months all my symptoms were gone… it has given me my life back.
