I know it sounds kind of counter-intuitive that a machine that gives gentle electric stimulation would help with that, but for me at any rate it does.
Looking for things for a friend with disc/nerve problems I saw TENS recommended, was a bit surprised, but anything's worth trying & it's cheap & easy to get. If the problem is tough enough, we can be brave enough.
My heart arrhythmia makes messing around with herbs and other medication‘s very difficult.
My experience with symptom tracking and generalizing (incl. blood pressure) is that calming/relaxing nerves & muscles are good for both. So firstly I'm pretty sure that supps & herbs won't be much of a problem, secondly it's likely that they'll help both.
Checking by looking up "supps for arrythmia", I can immediately find that most herbs & supps are also good for fibro pain, as well as anxiety, inflammation/autoimmune and general health: L-carnitine, magnesium and rhodiola, fish oil; combining taurine with magnesium malate (best for fibro along with glycinate), curcumin/turmeric (newsmax), whilst bottomlineinc recommends checking the levels esp. of
magnesium (& potassium), ratio between omega-6 and
omega-3 (EPA), the amino acid
homocysteine. (The two most common deficiencies in patients with arrhythmias are magnesium and EPA. And taking - similar to the above - fish oil (& other omega 3 sources) (but medically supervised cos of blood-thinning, same goes for
, lumbrokinase, an enzyme similar to nattokinase (which is similar to serrapeptase, which I take cos it's anti-inflammatory & for pain etc.), magnesium, potassium, B6, B12 and/or B9 if your homocysteine levels need to get reduced.
Lumbrokinase and also hawthorn are the only two which probably have no fx for FM, but then they also have no sfx for FM either.
Example: My GP recommended rhodiola rosea (rose root) for my high blood pressure (in my case due to the fibro pain), so I got some, but it didn't seem to help, so I had to take blood pressure meds. Getting more and more fibro-trigger/symptom control from supps I realized my blood pressure was getting too low, so was allowed to reduce and then stop the meds. Then I started realizing most of them, relaxing muscles, are good for blood pressure, and that on the other hand rhodiola is good for muscles relaxation (as well as anxiety), also that my product contains magnesium (carbonate) and vitamin B1, all good for both.
The only thing I "regret" is that I didn't know anything about dosage a year ago and just took one a day, altho 3 a day would have been OK, always carefully looking for possible sfx as dosage increases - maybe that'dve made life easier faster...
Like arrhythmia, blood pressure and also fibro is also a muscle, nerve & partly anxiety problem (and hawthorn is good for both), maybe also something inflammatory (hawthorn is good for that too) so it's not surprising that supps that help it will help fibro and not make it worse.
So I'd encourage you not to fear 'messing around' with little risk, rather than suffer.... - just ask your cardiologist/GP to make sure and reassure... and positive messing around means starting with small doses and increase while watching fx and sfx....
