i just had a pacemaker put in because my pulse was at 40 for two days- then ecg showed a complete block. The doc is checking me for Lyme disease involvement. I also had elevated mercury in my blood at same time as benigh arythmic symptioms started (2000). Can mercury be involved in this blockage?
Hi dear Mercury collects in the heart muscle and valves and has been found at 22,000 times the levels found in the blood. Mercury is strongly associated with elevated levels of homocysteine and cholesterol and heart attacks and can precipitate various arrhythmias and can even cause third degree av block, all of these are documented side effect of mercury toxicity, all sorts of arrhythmias, palpitations etc. are caused by mercury toxicity answer to your question is yes
