View allI've been dealing with palpitations since 2009, and although I've had some treatment, they haven't completely stoppedjust reduced in frequency. The doctor advised me to take Rivotril when they start, since they never seem to stop on their own. I'm worried about why they persist and if there's something else I could try? Could there be long-term effects if I'm taking Rivotril for so long? Any advice would be appreciated.
Since you have been experiencing palpitations since 2009 and have been advised to take rivotril when they occur, I recommend discussing with your doctor about trying beta-blockers such as Metoprolol at a low dose to help manage the palpitations more effectively. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg once daily, which can be adjusted based on your response. Beta-blockers are commonly used to reduce the frequency and severity of palpitations by regulating the heart rate and rhythm.

My mom has a 28 mm hole in her heart. Can the immune system heal this naturally, or is surgery necessary? I'm also curious whether treatments like Ayurveda might help. What do you suggest?
A 28 mm hole in the heart, likely referring to a congenital defect such as an atrial septal defect (ASD) or a ventricular septal defect (VSD), typically requires medical intervention. This size of a defect is unlikely to close on its own and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Surgery or a catheter-based procedure is usually required to close such a large defect. Ayurveda or other alternative therapies are not effective for treating structural heart defects. It's crucial to consult with a cardiologist to discuss the appropriate treatment options for your mother
