I tried the Alpha-Stim SCS for possible relief of headaches and insomnia, for which it seems to be helping.
However, the most impressive improvement was something totally unexpected.
About 4 years ago I developed 4 cardiac arrhythmias, two ventricular and two atrial.
An EPS procedure successfully corrected the two ventricular arrhythmias, but my EPS doctor said a second EPS was unlikely to correct the remaining atrial arrhythmias, so prescribed Rhythmol.
This worked well for about one year, but this past year my atrial arrhythmias were increasing, even with the Rhythmol. (I can hear my aortic heartbeat clearly, because I have had an artificial aortic valve for the last 20 years.)
Within 24 hours of using Alpha-Stim my atrial fibrillation stopped, and has remained so for the last two weeks. I've went to both my cardiologist and my internist, who have done an EKG. Both doctors confirm that my atrial flutter is completely gone. Because my heart is working more efficiently, my energy level (particularly after exercise), has also improved.
Has anyone else with cardiac arrhythmias had this happen?
