I also need help with digestion - #35225
I have heart palpitations. Initially, it happened with my first exposure to COVID-19 four years ago. Three months later, I went through a tremendous amount of stress with losses and moving across the country. And third, I moved to the desert, where I was chronically dehydrated for months. Years later, I still have the palpitations off and on. Currently, I am taking a heart supplement called Cardiophase by Tango to increase circulation around the heart. Now going on six months taking it, I'm better, but still, when my digestion is affected by wrong dietary choices, I suffer from palpitations at night. I also do yoga two to three times a week and walk five days a week. I used to meditate, but it's hard to when my heart beats loudly. I hope you can help me. Thank you! Sophia

Doctors’ responses
Do you have any medical test reports in your hand like ECG, Thyroid profile, Electrolyte tests?. Have you consulted any doctors before this. Are you taking cardiophase on advice of a qualified medical practitioner? For the time being I can give you a few dietary and lifestyle changes which you can follow. For prescribing medicines I need your proper history and records of medical reports.
1. Dietary Regulation
| Try to take breakfast on time. Avoid oily doods. Consume warm, soft, and mildly spiced foods (soups, khichdi, moong dal, ghee, cumin, ajwain, coriander). | Avoid stimulants — caffeine, strong tea, alcohol, and spicy–dry food. | Eat on time; do not skip meals. | Avoid eating late at night — maintain a 2–3 hour gap before sleep. | Stay well hydrated; sip warm water or herbal teas like Arjuna tea. You can get it on any online site. Make sure to buy from reputed brands.
2. Lifestyle & Mind
| Continue walking and yoga, but choose gentle heart-calming practices like Anulom Vilom, Bhramari, and Sheetali pranayama. | Avoid overexertion or high-intensity yoga. | Try Yoga Nidra or guided meditation lying down — this helps even if you cannot sit due to palpitations. | Keep a warm oil massage routine — Abhyanga with Mahanarayana taila calms Vata and promotes circulation. It’s good for the heart also.
3. Sleep & Nighttime Care
| Take warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg or a few drops of ghee before bed. | Avoid screens, heavy meals, and emotional stimulation before sleep.
