Our user asked: "Hi
I had a reaction to some herbs 3 years ago that put me
in the emergency room with tachycardia........The
heart palpitations which had been slight for about 6
years before have been worse ever since... Some weeks
after the Emergency Room episode  the heart was still
pounding  I went to a doctor that specialized in the
hormonal/endocrine systm..........He found my cortisol
levels were v low so he put me on a bioedentical
cortisol.......after several months when I was getting
worse a naturopath took me off it...........I'd
discovered that the doctor should have monitored me
closely and that the amount he had me on was way too
high........
Anyway 2 years off the cortisol and I've been dizzy
for most of that time plus the heart palpitations are
still there...........last ecocardiogram saw a slight
tricuspid valve leakage but thought the palpitations
were hormone related.........I may have a little
arythymia seen in a halter monitor............Anyway a
naturopath thought that my atlas might be off but my
doctor says it is not.............Spoke to a PRRT
practicioner not in my town and he thought that some
of the spinal techniques could shut off the overload
of sympathetic nervous system......help the
palpitations and dizzyness too. I'm wondering what u
think . If prrt could resolve this...........I eat
really well and do all the "right" things but I'm not
better..........My heart seems to easily react to
stimulus, including herbs even ones that are
supposedly calming, acupuncture, some massage and
supplements.........so I take baby amounts of
everything........"

Ask a PT Response: "I contacted John Iams, the founder of PRRT, in regards to your question. Please see his response below. Good luck and thanks for using CyberPT."
"John Iams - Thanks for contacting me.

Very unusual and interesting case and one which I can't be certain
PRRTâ„¢ would help.

If you want to refer your patient to one of my practitioners, I'd be 
happy
to give them my input on what might be of some help.

That's about all I can tell you thus far.

One possibility is that she has PTSD from the frightening circumstances
that were triggered by the herb reactions.

We have a technique called the StartLess Reflex which might help resolve
her sympttoms if they're related to this mechanism."
