I started taking a fish oil tablet with an EPA:DHA ratio of 2:1. I was taking 2,000 mg. One in the morning and one at night. Within about 4 days I started experiencing heart palpitations severe enough that I ended up at the emergency ward. The doctor there told me it was an “ectopic” beat that wasn’t life threatening, even though when nurse felt my pulse I was rushed in ahead of all the other patients in line.
When I got home, I started wondering if the fish oil had anything to do with it, and so I looked it up on the web. Bingo..first site I checked warned about heart palpitations with fish oil. I stopped taking it and the heart palpitations gradually went away after a few days.
I took the fish oil tablets because all the pharmaceutical medications prescribed to me caused serious side effects, like not being able to pee. Guess I’m out of options now.
