I get these quite regularly, and for me they are brought on by stress (so it's the adrenals for me). I started back up with school and a new internship, so I've had heart palpitations for two weeks now. And no matter how tired I am, the heart palpitations can keep me awake at night, and won't allow me to take a nap during the day. I've had to rely on Valerian root extract about every other night in order to get to sleep. Otherwise, I would lie awake and my whole body would shake/vibrate because of the palpitations. Once the stress calms down for at least a week, then the heart palpitations simmer down and disappear.

I know I need to treat my adrenals, but I've heard that it's impossible to really get your adrenals back in order without detoxing from mercury. I tried adrenal cortex extract for a couple of months, and when it didn't help, my doctor took me off of it. I just pray that my adrenals will start to normalize once I start to clear the mercury out.
