Acupuncture

Guess what? I tried acupuncture the other day (as in yesterday morning) and well...I HAVEN'T FELT THIS GOOD IN YEARS!!!!! I stopped taking my meds due to a general lack of them working a few days ago and yet since the acupuncture treatment, I have not had an irregular beat, my blood pressure has gone down and my heart has started reacting to exercise the way it is suppose to again! I go in again for another treatment on Thursday and it should take awhile for long term results, but I am amazed already with how much better I feel after just one treatment. I will try to keep everyone advised of how things go. :)

Me too

hi ~

i love, love, love acupuncture! it was actually my acupuncturist who first detected the heart issue - all those pulses they check - amazing. it's been extremely helpful for a number of things, and as for stress. nothing can zone me out quicker. those stress points on the head get me every time. i've never had a drug that even comes close.

that said, I've recently moved out of the city to a small town so have to find a good one within driving distance. knowing the acupressure points helps an awful lot for self massage - especially the ones on the feet. so if you don't have access to a good acupuncturist that's a fairly good second. good books/videos available.

best of luck to your continued feel good!

Worked well for me

Hey!

I have tried acupuncture, too, and if it wasn't so expensive, I'd still get a treatment every now and then. It's not that it has helped with my arrhythmia, but it helped to gain back strength. I had this done after surgeries when I was really worn out, and it worked very well for me. After each treatment, I went home being extremely tired. I slept for about an hour, and when I got up again I felt soooo much better.

Best wishes

I used to tell my acupuncture therapist to go heavy on the "accu" and easy on the "Puncture". She get a laugh out of it and then stuck it to me! G:

Seriously, I have found it very helpful in the past.

I wasn't really self-conscious about it. I didn't even know I had one until around six or seven years old. I just thought I had a rock in my side.
