Emma, I would say it is diet cola for you. I never drink cola or any fizzy drinks. But I have read some people get worse palps if they drink it.
I seem to get less if I cut out stress and that's it. Iv'e tried cutting out everything, even changed my toothpaste because someone said there toothpaste made them happen!

LOL, I know it is kind of funny. I think we all, or most of us look for some simple reason. I know one person ho was sure it happened if she had anything with mushrooms.

do you think its all mind related ? i dont think so at all, i had some sugar free lemonade earlier which is obv like diet cola and welllaaaa i got some palps ! it was only a small bottle not as big as a bottle of diet cola so theyve pretty much gone again ....
mushrooms??? lol that seems a bit odd, but then again palps are odd...

I think the mind has a lot to do with it yes...stress and all that. But I know if I have any sweetener or aspartame in any drinks it makes me feel really ill and my heart goes all weird |

well i havent had ANY diet cola in a while now and my palps still seem quiet  horrayyy !! but i have been having muller lite yoghurts which i know will have a lot of sweetner in due to the fact there is no fat in them, after having them for a couple of days my palps have reappeard, but not as bad.... im gonna give them a miss from tomorow and see if once again theres a dfference? ! this might sound as if im trying to find a cause to my palps and then wella they disappear, this isnt the case i know i probably will have them the rest of my life ... but if cutting something out helps? !! im all for it |

i have had palps and ectopics on and off for 10 yrs and learnt to live with them ( although always scared) in nov they came back with avengence, i couldnt get out of bed for 3 weeks cos just constant palps. spent all my time on internet looking for answeres and came across the link with sweetners and palps. ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS!! I was doing the slimming world diet and everything i was eating and drinking were full of sweetners! came off it all and im so much better but i still have a tachicardia when moving to quick or climbing stairs but at least i have my life back  |

I definitely have a reaction to artificial sweeteners in a similar way. So glad that you managed to find a solution to your Palps problem. I mentioned it to my cardiologist and he hadn't heard of it before but I have come across similar comments on other forums, it seems a realtively common reaction to artificial sweeteners.
