Hi Dr. John,
I recall your telling me that fish oil is anti-arrhythmic. However would you know why in a low % of people fish oil can actually bring about arrhythmias ?
I'm prone to anxiety and arrhythmias (sinus node arrhythmias to be accurate), and whenever I have fish oil gel caps (even one) with a higher EPA to DHA ratio, I get those arrhythmias. It cannot be any other supplements, as fish oil is the only one I've taken for a month. I never take high doses fish oil ever, so overdosing is not what's wrong here, but I swear to God fish oil does trigger some arrhythmias in me--I get scarred when I get those, really. Althoug my PCP has told me they're not harmful--I probably get scarred because I'm already prone to anxiety.
I'd like to understand why fish oil does that in some.
Many thanks in advance
Marc
