Hi Healthie,
From my past experience with paraites and the herbs it was the parasites that caused my heart palpitations. I have been cleansing over two years now, still taking the same herbs but the heart palpitations stopped over a year ago. Loa Loa is just one of the parasites that goes into your heart.
I also had experienced a grasping of air, a scary I can't get a breath type of thing and actually felt a parasite around my lung area when this would happen, also gone now.
I would like to share that caffeine can cause heart palpitations, my husband had to go off all caffeine products.
I also function better when I don't hardly eat.....heyjude
