Irregular Heartbeats
My girlfriend has these irregular heartbeats every other day, and I m worried. She s a little on the heavy side(chubby in a cute way), and I must admit that she doesn t eat very nutritiously. I took her to the doctor who performed an EKG on her, and found nothing unusual. However, I m still worried about her well-being, and want to know more information regarding this matter.

The EKG and possibly a Holter Monitor can detect arrythmias. I have found (as I have atrial fibrillation) that magnesium can really help this problem if it is subclinical (meaning it doesn't show up as a problem YET). Try Natural Calm Magnesium Powder (available at health food stores), 400 mg. You mix with warm water, let dissolve, and then drink. You'll see the difference in a few days.
