Treatment For Ulcers And Arrhythmia Without Side Effects?

I am a 36 year old female. My symptoms began on December 24, 2013. I developed ulcers and a heart arrhythmia. I had ulcers 2 years prior and healed them with medication and a change of diet. Since December, I had to quit my job due to my poor health. I have changed my lifestyle completely. I quit drinking alcohol, caffeine and only eat healthy non-processed food. I am also exercising regularly. My ulcers are healing nicely with the help of medication. My heart palpitations are not getting better at all. I have them every day and night. I have had my thyroid tested as well as my follicle stimulating hormone and my luteinizing hormone. All tests have come back perfect. I had an echocardiogram which came back fine. I have had a 24 hour halter monitor, which showed the palpitations, but no one seems very concerned about them. The Dr. s put me on a beta blocker which did not stop the palpitations, but sometimes made them a little more bearable. I have since stopped taking the beta blocker due to the horrible side effects; headaches, sleeplessness, near fainting and a general feeling of depression and disorientation. I am trying acupuncture but it has not calmed the palpitations either. There seems to be no answer as to why I have developed the arrhythmia and all the Dr. s want to do is give me another heart medication to mask the issue. The side effects are terrible and make everything worse. I don t know where to go from here. I need help!
