Was wondering if there was any way to protect heart from Lyme cardiac infection. Unfortunately I recently read news about fatality that was posted in another thread.

Before that I've bend sensing some irregularities.
Possible stronger beat ever once in a while. Heavier feeling heart maybe shortness of breath over summer. I used to think maybe air hunger. Not running to cardiologist yet.

I am getting anxiety over having this.

I figure herbs like motherswort and Hawthorne might help but not sure if you can prevent what happened to that boy unless you get spiros out of heart. Seems like it goes downhill fast.

These are the things I'm telling myself to just drop because it's just all going to be anxiety producing but would like to be proactive. ( except for going to see a dr. No nothing. )

Well I'm sure you realize that increased awareness of heartbeat and rapid heart rate both coincide with anxiety. I have these sometimes as well, especially if my electrolytes are off, and the shortness of breath is probably just a symptom of babesia. I don't know of any way to protect the heart though, sorry. Just saying I don't think it's anything to fret about.

Also CoQ10 is good for heart. You taking that?

I would take hawthorn and go to the cardiologist. You don’t have to tell them you have Lyme. Just tell them what you are experiencing and that you just want to make sure everything is okay.

I would agree that you should get checked out just to be safe but Buhner recommends Hawthorn for the heart

I've been having the same problems this past year. Heart pounding, chest pains, shortness of breath, etc. I've also developed severe POTS in the last 4 months.

Just in the past 3 months I've had 5 cardio visits. A regular echo, a ct scan, countless ekg monitering, and then a stress test echo.

The cardiologists can't explain my symptoms and tell me everything looks normal. I keep telling them it's the Lyme but they look at me like I'm crazy. Lol.

But yeah I would go get it checked out. Most likely it's Lyme but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
