Question : I've been getting alot of palpitations lately. Not heart racing but missing beats arythmia off. I've also recently been diagnosed with thyroid cancer papillary. I've been doing a keto diet as I've read sugar feeds cancer also did a 4 day fast a week ago. I've been taking high dose vitamin d3 and regular amounts of zinc to help my immune system for covid and cancer and I've been taking cbd at night to help sleep and good for inflammation which has been pretty bad for last few months.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question. Hope I can be of help to you today. According supplements that you are taking are not cause any interaction or side effect of arrhythmia nor palpitation. Palpitation and arrhythmia can be caused from your thyroid disease or heart disease. You are taking carvedilol also cause your heartbeat is low. Low blood sugar can cause palpitation and dizziness and faints. Make sure you eat healthy food including vegetables, fruit, meat, and carbohydrates. For your palpitation and arrhythmia make me concerned about your thyroid disease and heart problem. You should go to check with your doctor about it.

I hope that It can help you, and please let me know if you have any clarification or questions about that, and I would be welcome to discuss it with you further. I hope you have good health.

Best regards,
