I started on the HCG diet on 10-21-11. On 11-4-11 I got up with an odd sensation in my chest. I attempted to feel my pulse and could not. With my stethoscope (I am a cardiac step down nurse) I listened to my heart beat an irregular 160 beats per minute. When I arrived at the ER, my heart rate was jumPing from 150 to 300 beats per minute. I was found to be in atrial flutter with rapid ventricular response. My potassium a d magnesium had to be replaced. After several failed attempts at chemical cardioversion, the next evening underwent a cardiac ablation that successfully put me back in normal rhythm. My cardiologist recommended I drop the diet and.believe me I have! I won't risk my health again with a medication that's use has not been approved by the FDA.
