Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia, 16 yr son

[Guest guest]

I have a son with this and a heart doctor near where his dad put him on

Verapamil for lowering blood pressure. He has since came to live with me.

Anyone know of a natural way to treat this disorder? He is 16.

 

I also have another son that has ADHD and I'm afraid

I'm going to be forced to put him on Ritilan or Aderol or some other horrid

drug. Anyone know of a natural method? His homework is a bigger problem than

sitting still but the medical field and school just want to fix it with

medicine. It won't work, I know it.

I'm might be in the minority here, but I wouldn't try to treat

tachycardia in my child--naturally or otherwise--leave that to the

doctors, they're not all bad. Tachycardia is nothing to fool around

with and can lead to severe, life threatening complications.

Verapamil does lower bp, but it will also slow the heart, which is

why it was prescribed for your son. The biggest complaint with

verapamil, as with other beta blockers is that it can cause

fatigue. If you're not happy with verapamil, take him to a dr and

ask about alternatives, other meds that might also keep his heart

beat regulated, but please don't try treat this yourself. It's just

not fair to your son, or his heart.

Sorry, I just had to weigh in on this one. Best of luck to you and

your two sons, whatever you decide.

ditto. This is not one to be treated by herbalists or oils. You can ask his doc

about good supplements to go WITH his medication but as for taking him off at

the moment, I wouldn't do it.

 

A lot of cardiologists suggest co Q 10 but never for a replacement, simply as an

antioxidant and heart health in general. And if you take him off of is bp meds,

he can have a very bad rebound effect meaning his heart rate might go thru the

roof.........this sort of thing is best left to the doc and I agree with the

poster, if this med is problematic, they can change it to something more

agreeable for him.

 

16 huh? Yeah, the medical pros are his best bet . I'm notorious for going

alternative but if I have a serious issue, take me to a hospital or a doctor not

an herbalist.

 

in time you can learn what's beneficial and discuss that with his doc.

 

Good luck in finding him a med he can feel himself again .

My daughter has ADHD and we will never put her on any conventional drugs.  We

first put her on an all natural thing called Attend by Vaxa, they are pills from

a store here called Dietary Foods.  It was helping,  but after a  couple of

months we found a naturopathy doctor and have been taking her to see this doctor

and the doctor did a history on my daughter and gave us a all natural remedy for

my daughter along with some pro-biotics, and supplements.  This is working

better than the Attend.  As far as the paroxysmal thing I never even heard of

it..sorry.  Try a healthy store to see if they know of a homeopathy doctor or

naturopathy doctor or see if they can give you advice for all natural ADHD

pills.  Here's the link to the Attend... http://www.vaxa.com/636.cfm.  Good

luck, Genevive
