First, i would like to thank everyone for being so helpful. I have another question.
My daughter has Lyme and now even though she tested negative, we think she has Babeosia.
Her doctor just added Dr. Z's artemesia and Allimed. She has been on this for about a week.
He also said to stop the Zithromax for one week and report back to him.
The last couple of days, she has mentioned that once in awhile it feels like her heart is shaking or maybe Fluttering.
This feeling lasts only a second or two. Has anyone else experienced this heart fluttering?
Also she will be taking AI#3 three times a day. We should be receiving that today.

I've had that sensation a lot during babesia treatment. I would definitely check in with your LLLMD about it.

Hi Jane- So sorry your daughter is going through this! I had heart flutters, it seemed like my heart was fluttering up my throat and almost out. For me it was the disease causing it - it happened before I even got treatment and then during treatment too somewhat. I was diagnosed with Lyme solely. Julie

I always have the heart flutters and thuds too. Sometimes so hard it makes me cough.
I even had an abnormal EKG showing heart irregularities.
My LLMD claims that babesia rarely comes without sweats and I only have lyme. And only taking Zith.
I wonder...??

Yes, I have this too. Scary but usually harmless from what I've been told.

You might want to see about giving her Magnesium. When I take magnesium it settles down the flutters.
