Hello,
thanks a lot for your answer.
My problem is that I need to take Ephedra in order to learn. I don't
want to take much of it, but I feel chronically tired without any
incentive. I cannot concentrate. Therefore I wanted to take a small
amount of it occasionally. Up to what dosage is it rather safe? I
usally get the AVNRT only while or after certain exercises, especially
irregular ones. In dormancy only extrasystoles occur. How could I
treat an attack?
Another question: Can those arrhythmias be psychosomatically?
Thank you very much again!
