Heartbeat is too fast.

I started taking Gingko Biloba, 800mg Fish oil, and multi vit around 4 months ago.

I had a blood pressure test a couple weeks ago and it was 128 over 84 or something like that but my heartbeat is 105. I never had a problem before both were always good. Could this be the GB?

I ran out of GB a couple days ago and today I’ve been feeling dizzy sometimes usually when I just stand up or bend over. Anybody had this problem before?

Whenever I stand up or sit down quickly, everything around me becomes very bright and I can’t see well. I assume this is because I am in bad shape. How is your health right now, besides the supplements you are taking? I’m asking because I am healthy in the sense that I get all the nutrients I need, since I take a multivitamin and Vitamin C to prevent sickness, yet I eat fast food every day for lunch and don’t exercise. This is probably why I almost pass out whenever I stand up or sit down too fast.

Yo Springer240. Your killing yourself slowly, with that fast food dude. Try eating a salad with tuna,chicken (broiled) if possible stuff like that. You’ll notice a difference. Wanna loose 10 lbs quick and keep it of f? Try Bragg’s apple cider vinegar.Google Braggs or go to a health food store. Two teaspoons with honey to tastes in distilled water 3x’s a day.You’ll drop the weight in no time.

I’m no doctor but it sounds like you have low blood pressure.

I’m not sure but if I was you I would take a supplement break for a week or so

Could be any number of problems.

1. Could be faulty wiring in the heart that regulates heartbeat - electrical conduction problem.(Arrhythias and tachycardia). Very curable.

2. Heart could be dilated - caused by an unknown injury like a viral infection or bacterial infection. This dilation can also disturb electrical signals, which can lead to irregular or quickened heartbeats.

3. Heart failure or cardiomyopathy. The weakening of the heart muscle through injury or genetics. When the heart weakens it pumps faster to compensate.

4. Anxiety

Don’t ever fuck around with the heart. Get it checked. Your doc will probably order an echocardiogram to determine your hearts ejection fraction(EF) - a measure of how efficiently it pumps out blood. If you’re are at 60% you’re good. If lower, could be a problem.

A standard physical with a blow up heart pressure gauge won’t find fuck all. Sometimes you just have to see whats going on under the hood.

Spring, I’m a little o-weight but pretty good shape not fat.

Dino, Like I said I’m out of GB and I’m not buying more.

Hey Huff thanks for the pick me up. :) No, I know what you mean. If my beat doesn’t lower in a week I’ll go see the Doc.

Thanks

I had a caffeine induced paranoia episode on Ripped Fuel (the old formula from the mid 90s), a Super Big Gulp, and a few cups of coffee at UPS. It rocked.

Good advice from Huff.

The dizziness you describe sounds like orthostatic hypotension .

Stay off the GB. Not necessary and could be causing you problems. The low-dose fish oil and multivitamin are likely harmless. If you see a doc, though, be sure to mention your supplement history.

Just want to throw my 2 cents in here. About 8 year’s age my wife started a vigorous exercise program along with some crazy diet. Like you she would feel dizzy standing up or lowering her head. One night she felt like her heart was racing. Took her to the hospital and turned out that her potassium levels were very low due to the exercise and diet. Getting off the Ginkgo is a great idea but may not hurt to eat some fruits high in potassium. Good Luck!

Fish oil is a natural blood thinner you may want to stop that also and see what happens.
