Heart Problems

[Guest guest]

Hi Jack -

 

I would think rheumatic fever in childhood as a possible cause of

such symptoms. There are several things that can cause these

anomalies - ANS imbalance (very common) - myopathy - mitral valve

damage - excess cortisol and or thyroid - defecient cortisol and or

thyroid - autoimmune disease (lupus type of diseases can cause many

CNS and ANS anomalies).

 

If she is a basically passive person with nervous symptoms then she

probaly has some kind of heart defeciency - if she is a very

energetic person with nervous symptoms then she probably has a

hormonal excess.

 

Two types of patterns often seen are childhood diseases like Mono or

rheumatic fever cause damage to the mitral valve and this will

manifest later as various types of arrythmia - another pattern is

exhaustive processes that imbalance the ANS and cause the

sympathetic system to be over excited and this causes arrythmias. If

there is a great imbalance between the dopamine and the seratonin

functions then GABA will be imbalanced and one will see many SNS

symptoms.

 

Try to determine if the apnea is a true apnea - does she actually

stop breathing? If not then perhaps it is a simple over compensation

of the SNS when falling into the hypnogogic state (it could be

something like a mild seasure). If it is true apnea then she should

be throughly examined by a qualified physician to determine the

cause. Apnea can be a very dangerous disease and should be either

eliminated as a diagnosis or treated. Did you have her to your

acupuncture teacher? If this is an ANS and or CNS problem

acupuncture should be helpful. Otherwise take her to a good

herbalist and let them treat the patterns as they are presenting

now.
