I was diagnosed with irregular heartbeat last 2005. After my work-up, the doctors weren't able to find the source. I'm now taking anti-arrythmia meds. But just recently, i came across an article in a website which says that one of the effects of anemia is irregular heartbeat. I have had anemia for years now. I haven't asked my cardiologist about this yet because i'm not yet due for my regular check-up.

i'm not sure. Your heart and all part of your body need enough blood supply. Anemia means that you don't have enough erithrocytes in you blood (i forget the minimum number we should have). Erithrocyte deliver the oxygen. When there is an oxygen deprivation, your heart will try to beat more to meet the demands, after the demands is met it will beat slower. Sadly, you can experience this condition even though you're at rest. Why? because of Anemia.

Hi, I was diagnosed with anemia for about a year ago and lately when I take a shower or put on clothes my heart races extremely fast and I seem kind of tired and out of breath. I went to the doctor and I was told it was because of my anemia, something I didn't know. Anyway, I went to another doctor and he put me on a blood pressure pill which contained a beta block that can slow my heart rate down and thank goodness it has.

Hi! I am also into food supplements for about 7 months now, and so far people are getting me great feedback. The company is called Synergyworldwide and guess what! It's at Centerpoint Building at Ortigas, too. If want to check it out, you can visit the depot there, ask for Jojie or Ann, and you can mention my name: Lorna Sister. The biggest and fastest moving we have now is liquid chlorophyll - very safe, very pure, it is the equivalent of a cup of pure vegetables (minus the usual toxins). I am a regular user, and so is my 3-year-old baby! I am very happy with it. But the real gem is Pro-Argi9. You can look it up in the internet anytime. My neighbor who also has heart problems has never stopped since she first tasted it. I do take health and wellness seriously, and I hope you find it useful for you, too. We do have doctors who have joined the movement towards naturals. In case you need to see one of them, or if you need more info, email me at shapeup@mysynergy.net. It is business, but it is also about helping others. cheers!
