After COVID (both the disease and the vaxx), I got heart arrhythmia, I had around 5000 irregular heart beats a day (PVCs and PACs mainly), and those all happen in a matter of hours, so when they happen, it's pretty debilitating.
After a while, I invested in a Bluetooth stethoscope and ECG watches, the doctors finally believed I have something. However, the cardiologist's advice was to learn to live with it, because it's completely harmless and in young people, ablation, beta blockers are not worth the risk.
Having these irregular heart beats is a very uncomfortable feeling, so I was looking for articles about the root causes and potential treatments.
After trying a couple of things (both pills and lifestyle changes), I found an article that says arginine and taurine reduced the number of irregular heart beats in their experiment. I tried it out and I have basically 20-50 irregular heart beats a day. When I stop taking them, the irregular heart beats come back.
Now, I know I'm doing something that is potentially risky, but to me it is worth it (and I reduced my dosage, and I try to quit using them every couple of months).
* it's not really quack science as the science is real, just that me applying it in my situation was not recommended by a doctor
I had a similar presentation: sudden 1-3% PAC load at rest following an asymptomatic COVID infection. Cardiac MRI showed minor residual scar tissue. I noticed my diet was pretty seriously deficient in magnesium, and after starting a supplement the abnormal beats have nearly vanished.
Yes, magnesium was the first thing my gp recommended me. Unfortunately, magnesium supplementation had a negligible effect on my irregular heart beats, which is a pity, as it's more of a standard medication than taurine.
