Can Eucalyptus Make Heart Palpitations Worse?

I had a heart attack late last May. Recently I ve been having heart palpitations and was put on a e-cardio monitor. Cardiologist PA doesn t seem particularly concerned but it s hard to ignore. Walking by a vase with dried eucalyptus just now seemed to increase the feeling. Could that be making it worse?

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that eucalyptus is well know for its beneficial health effects. It ingredients possess several anti inflammatory, antiseptic, flavouring, etc effects helping to relieve symptoms of respiratory infections, joint pain, herpes, etc.

There is not any confirmed adverse effects of eucalyptus in the human heart as far. Nevertheless, as it seems to be not the case with you, I would recommend to avoid close contact with the plant and even its exctracts. possible individual hyperreactivity may be present.

Hope to have been helpful for you! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
