Arrhythmia involves the electrical system of your heart. It’s no longer in a regular rhythm. Your heart will stop, speed up, or pound, resulting in symptoms such as feeling dizzy, sweating, and chest pain. One of the problems is that there is hardly any emphasis on the person’s diet. Usually, a medical provider talks about risk factors then go straight to treatment.

The heart’s electrical system depends on electrolytes, electrically charged minerals that allow your muscles to contract and relax and the nerves to transmit communications throughout your nervous system.

Your heart’s pacemaker is under control of the vagus nerves which connect your brain and various organs including your heart. It’s part of the autonomic nervous system, which is parasympathetic rather than sympathetic.

The autonomic nervous system really needs vitamin B1. Refined carbohydrates can create a B1 deficiency. So too can stress, various stimulants such as drinking too much coffee, or various drugs.

These are the 7 things that cause arrhythmia:

1. Hypothyroidism
2. Hyperglycemia; in other words, diabetes or insulin resistance (which will block electrolyte absorption)
3. Alkalosis coming from low potassium or high cortisol; your blood is slightly too alkaline. You may also have low stomach acid as indicated by heartburn and GERD.
4. Hypokalemia; low potassium, usually from a high carb diet or perhaps being on a diuretic
5. Hyponatremia; a sodium deficiency usually from a low salt diet and drinking a lot of water
6. Hypocalcemia; low calcium (too much calcium can also be an issue), which can be caused by low vitamin D
7. Hypomagnesemia; low magnesium, another electrolyte

If you’ve had a gastric bypass you’re at risk of arrhythmia because of malabsorption of certain electrolytes. Malabsorption can also be caused by IBS, celiac disease, scar tissue in the colon, or a history of taking antibiotics. If you have damage in your colon you’ll have a hard time absorbing electrolytes which could then lead to arrhythmia.

How to restore your electrolytes:

●Consume 7-10 cups of veggies per day
●Acidify your body; take betaine hydrochloride
●Avoid refined carbs
●Fix insulin resistance
●Raise your vitamin B1 levels

Taking these steps will help with your arrhythmia.
