Vitamin C Forum

My fiance has been feeling light headed and coming to the point of near fainting more times than i can remember over the last couple of years it started on a fourth of the july i turned at the fireworks stand to ask him a question and he wasnt there he was sitting on the ground he said he got dizzy, his heart was all fluttery, and he felt like someone just pushed him down to the ground by his shoulders i thought maybe too much sun we had been out in record tempratures mowing my mothers 3 foot high grass. But then it kept happening over the years.3 months ago he went to the doctor for it she told him it was probably stress and put him on a medication called buspar. Wich did nothing because its not anxiety or stress The other day he almost blacked out on the interstate. Thats when he decided it was time to go back to the doctor. they said quit with the buspar wich he already had cause it obviously wasnt what he needed they gave him an event monitor to wear in case it happens again. and told him his heartbeat was a little slow wich isnt the first time he has been told this. Also when his grandfather was 33 same age as him he just fell over dead for no apparent reason. I am scared i will lose him if i leave it up to them i have no faith in the local doctors around here .i am an all natural -approach kind of person anyway so the first thing i thought vitamin deficiency. I reasearched all day and all night alot of wich was done here at this site, for different courses of action and came up with the following.

* edited vitamins to what he is currently taking sorry bout the type o on the vit. d


15-20g vitamin c[/url]
800-3200 IU vitamin e
4-12 g L-Arginine
20000-40000 IU vitamin a
200mg COQ10
6g omega 3 from flax and fish oil
20000 IU D3
4g garlic
super b complex
cayenne pepper supplement

Is there anything im missing


fter all the reading im slightly confused about the arginine and lysine. Should he take both just not at the same time? do the dosages look right dont want to make anything worse. He is not currently taking a multivitamin the one he had had iron in it and to much maganese.

thanks for your time

Doesn‘t he take magnesium and potassium? Do you know his blood values for magnesium and potassium?
I need 1,5 - 2 grams magnesium and 600 mg potassium (and check my blood values regular). And then my heart beats well.
What about the blood pressure.

Could it be orthostatic intolerance?

Rubbing magnesium oil into my skin often keeps me from having arrhythmias. I've tried taking it in the pill or gel cap form but magnesium oil on my skin is the best way for me to absorb it. If I get slack about using it my arrhythmias come back. I buy the magnesium flakes in bulk and mix a cup of hot distilled water with a cup of the flakes to dissolve it. I believe the flakes come from a site in England. I put it in a spray bottle then spray myself down with it after. a shower. It keeps the arrhythmias away for me and if I don't use it they come back.

fter all the reading im slightly confused about the arginine and lysine

First of all I didn’t see what dose of lysine he is taking??
General rule of thumb is not to exceed 6 grams in 24 hrs. due to the possibility of GI issues.

4-12 g L-Arginine

This is kind of vague as to what he was taking at the times he is experiencing the light headiness because this could be the culprit.
One of the benefits of L-Arginine is it is a precursor to the production of Nitric oxide which dilates the arteries and causes the BP to drop.
My suggestions on this is to.
1. (Without heart disease) 1-2G a day.
2. (with heart disease) 4-6g a day.
3. (for ED) 5g a day.
4. (For heart failure) 6-10G a day.

So if he don’t have any of the above he should stick to the #1

Hope this helps!
