> Thankyou for the suggestions. No chest pain or SOB. Nonsymptomatic. I read on this forum a while back a theory how daily usage of 5-HTP 'might' cause damage to the heart valves. I don't know how true this might be. I do take some magnesium and fish oil daily. I will increase the amount I take and see if the palpatations subside.
Did you see this thread above about 5-HTP? http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/alter/20051208/msgs/595605.html
If you're concerned about heart valve damage, you might want to check with a physician.
What type of magnesium do you take currently?
I know the magnesium calcium ratio is important, maybe you need more or less calcium along with more or less magnesium. Then there's also potassium and sodium in the mix, along with general nerve conduction needing a good mix of B vitamins.
