I notice that a new Danish study has also come to the conclusion that fish oil can cause, rather than cure dangerous heart palpitations.
I think that I might have come up with a reason as to why this happens in a large group of people, perhaps in everyone.
I have noticed in my own experience that when I am on fish oil supplements, adrenaline is more easily produced in my body by caffeine, alcohol withdrawal, (moderate to medium drinking, not excess) stress and other causes. I think that it is the increased levels of adrenaline that is causing the apparent increase in heart irregularities in the study groups.
Increased adrenaline is perhaps a healthy thing in most people. It could help them to succeed at work, or fight in a conflict. But in people with sick hearts, it is almost certainly a bad thing.
But what about people with anxiety; does fish oil make this worse by increasing adrenaline levels?
I find in my own experience that fish oil helps depression (increased adrenaline) but worsens anxiety. Has anyone else noticed this when they take fish oil supplements?
