My heart seems like it is beating harder than normal. It happens all throughout the day, but I notice it especially at night when in bed. Pulse is normal.
I am nearing the end of babesia treatment and never noticed any heart issues until this, which happened a couple of weeks ago. Parasites are also a huge problem.
Meds include Mepron, Zith, Bactrim DS, and Albenza.

I have the same kind issues, even though the doctors say my heart is fine. It just feels like my heart is going to pound right out of my chest--my pulse isn't racing, it's just that it feels like my heart is hammering.

My son and my husband both have this symptom. Babs and/or parasites is my guess... and what my son's LLMD says about both my son and my husband.

I have the same problem, horrible pounding in the heart but also in other areas. I have no babesia.Heart test is great.
It is better when I use lugols iodine drops on the skin but only if I use it every day again.
I think it is parasites and staph or neg. strep. I am on antivirals.

3 times is a charm! Third time iodine has been mentioned in one night! Must be a sign...something happening with my son - check iodine!
Going to buy a bottle of the liquid and do the test for iodine deficiency!
Thank you!

Dumb question about iodine though. I have an iodine allergy. What happens if I take iodine? Is this a different kind than the one I am allergic to?

Parasites.....I should have guessed it!
I took Parastroy for one month and then switched to albendazole, which I have been taking 2 months.
Albendazole is definitely working, but will it kill all species of worms? Should I ask for a different drug?
Since I am on so many abx, I am afraid to use more than one anti-parasitic drug at a time.
