heart palpitations anyone?

[docscinder 0]

Well, I had my band put in on Oct 2. I have been doing pretty good little pain not hungry and drinking my liquids only for the first 2 weeks. The one problem I am having is really bad heart palpitations. I have issues when iI dont get enough carbs and I think that might be it. I was wondering if anyone else had this trouble, and how they remedied it. Thanks!

There's some things that you don't mess with. Your heart is one of them. Please call your doctor asap!

I've had the same issues and had it checked out and there wasn't any problems. But I would definitely go asap to have that looked at.....

I had the same problem. I attribute it to fewer calories, and cutting out caffine. I was an avid soda drinker. My doc did check me out, which I would also advise. It took about 8-10 weeks for it to completely go away. I thought I was going nuts. I will tell you that I have experienced heart problems, and the feeling is quite different. My chest felt like an elephant was sitting on it when it was my heart, this was more like a racing feeling that was accompanied by a very nervous feeling. As the others have stated, check it out. If it's not your heart, it may take a while to subside. Good Luck, Kami

I have had this problem when I have been on very low carb diets and ended up at a cardiologist's office. It ended up that I was deficient in magnesium. Apparently when one consumes low carb foods, there is a risk of not getting enough magnesium. I take a powdered magnesium supplement called "Calm" and it does the trick. I would definitely go to your doctor to make sure it is nothing more serious. But it shouldn't hurt to start supplementing with magnesium too. Good luck.

I will start taking magnesium tomorrow. Thanks!
