I just got back from the MD because I was having heart flutters and missed beats. Had an abnormal EKG with some slight issue that she said was normal. Attributed it to stress, poor blood glucose control, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, etc ....
She told me to drink more water, manage my stress, lay off caffeine, sugar, and alcohol, and manage my blood glucose/protein levels more. Which all made sense to me.
Then she told me to eat a diet of 60% protein!! This is high even for a body-builder!!! RDA is only 10-15% and in that high of levels one may be rsiking kidney or liver damage. This sort of information made me doubt her and even her assessment.
Who wants to be told to "drink more liquids" when their heart is fluttering and skipping beats??? I am just having a hard time accepting this even though I want so much to know that it's normal and feeling reassured.
