Successful Homeopathic Remedy for a Case of Palpitations

This case involves a 51-year-old male with a history of diabetes who presented with the complaint of palpitations. He believed he would die anytime. He described his sensation as if his heart moves very fast and as if it would stop. I remember the patient so vividly because he was narrating his symptoms as if he was going to die in my clinic right then. He experienced palpitations at night time, and while sitting. His ECG was normal. This patient had acidity from digestive issues but no eructation. He also experienced congestion of his chest.For the last three months, he was prescribed Clonafit 0.25 MG. It’s a medicine for the treatment of seizures but is also used to treat panic attacks. He used to take it whenever he felt tremors in the chest area.

The way the patient was explaining his complaints drew my attention. He was exaggerating his condition as if he was about to die. The key symptom of the case was his palpitation.

Homeopathic Remedy for Palpitations

Reference from Lippe Red Line Symptoms for Asafoetida

Nervous palpitation like a tremor when sitting with a small quick irregular pulse. I also noted that hysteria is one of the main expressions of Asafoetida so I prescribed it as a homeopathic remedy for palpitations.

Rx: Asafoetida 30 three times a for 7 days

Follow up after one month:

Abnormal palpitation stopped totally. The patient is much better with improved acidity. Digestion is good, eructation started after eating, abdomen feels smooth and light. He was able to stop taking the Clonafit.

I have followed up with the patient and to this day he is still without any palpitations.
