Calcium helped like a miracle with my palps
Just a few lines to update my last entry. It worked!!! The calcium helped like a miracle. The funny vibrating heartbeat / plaps are nearly gone. Most nights there are no palps at all any more, only occasionaly I am reminded of how it was before I started the calcium, but it's only like 20% of the original palps. And it seems to be getting progressively better over time. The last three nights were completely palps free. At the moment I take 600mg calcium and 400mg magnesium twice a day.
update Dec 2012
the funny weak palps resolved 100% in mid August and have not returned so far. I am now taking
500 Calcium and 400 Magnesium twice a day. I also try to make fresh green juice every day for Potassium and I use additive free salt (Sodium) to make sure my electrolytes are balanced.
I finally found out where the palps came from: It was the cortisone I had taken for 3 months, a well known mineral scavenger that triggerd the calcium deficiency. The endo should have known this.
