Can super greens and herbal powders cause palpitations?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have been having a few palpitations a minute for a week. I am on a tablet of Atenolol 75 mg, a tablet of Lisinopril 40 mg, a tablet of Amlodipine 10 mg, a capsule of Prilosec 20 mg, and a multivitamin. I have also been using the super green powder for two months and have started taking an herbal supplement recently. I believe that the super greens and herbal powder are causing the palpitations. My blood pressure is within range, sometimes slightly high. Also, I got an EKG, as my cardiologist suggested, which was normal. Kindly advise.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for the query. I understand your concern and would be happy to help. ECG (electrocardiogram) taken during the asymptomatic period will be normal. It is better to have an ECG done at the time when you have palpitations. Alternatively, have Holter monitoring done. It will record ECG continuously for 24 hours or more and record the heart's abnormal rhythm when you have symptoms. You can continue your medicines. Regarding the green powder, I can guide you if you tell me its constituents. I suggest you avoid stress as stress precipitates palpitations. Also, reduce caffeine intake.

I hope this helps.

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.

These ingredients are not causing fast heart rate. I suggest you get an ECG done for palpitations when you have the symptoms. I hope this helps. Thank you.

There is no need to go to ER. Your heart rate is normal. Also, extra beats are normal in healthy people. I hope this helps. Thank you.
