A member asked:

My mom has familial hypertriglyceridemia and bradycardia (36 bpm) when she eats/sleeps flat). the heart beat will increase with exercise.any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dysautonomia: Triglycerides are sensitive to sugar. Bradycardia (slow pulse) can be caused by vitamin b1 deficiency that is easily caused by taking sugar in all its different forms. I would guess that she is also fatigued. Sugar sensitivity and/or alcoholism can occur in families because of inheritance.
