Heart Palpitations (Irregular Heartbeat) and Painful Hip 01620...France
A 77-year-old woman sought treatment on 20 April 2015 for chronic heart and hip problems. For one year, she had been having frequent episodes of heart arrhythmia. When the palpitations started, they could sometimes last all day. She was very worried because she thought she had heart disease. However, her electrocardiogram was normal.
In addition, she had developed pains in the left hip four months ago but the X-rays showed nothing abnormal. Due to the hip pain she had difficulty walking and climbing stairs and became very tired if she moved or carried heavy things. The patient did not like allopathic medication and therefore had not taken any to treat her conditions.
During the consultation she talked incessantly and worked herself up into an emotional state. This seemed to be a habit.
She was given:
For heart palpitations:
#1. CC3.6 Pulse irregular + CC10.1 Emergencies + CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic...TDS and if in crisis, 1 dose every 10 min for 1 hour or 2 hours if necessary
For hip pain:
#2. NM3 Bone I + CC20.3 Arthritis + CC20.4 Muscle & Supportive tissue...TDS
Ten days later the patient reported that the palpitations cleared after taking #1 frequently for one hour. The patient was advised to learn to relax using cardiac coherence technique.
Four weeks later the patient reported that she had no pain in the hip and she could walk normally. Although the patient found cardiac coherence technique was a good thing, she did not use it to manage the palpitations.
Six weeks later she reported that she did not have any palpitations and could walk 6 km or more at a time (nearly 4 miles). She said that it was a long time since she had felt so well.
The dosage for both remedies was reduced to OD for two weeks, 2TW for a further two weeks, and then OW for two weeks before stopping. As of September 2015, the patient continues to feel very well and is very happy and grateful.
