    Are there any studies that show an adverse reaction to fish oil. My oncologist recommened I take the supplement and I took 3 aday in accordance with the instructions. I seemed to have developed severe itching on one arm and my scalp.

    If you have been experiencing pvc's, pac's, ventricular couplets, and atrial couplets, is it safe to take fish oil? Someone else who had them told me that taking fish oil and vitamin C completely eliminated them. I've been two cardiologists, who told me not to worry about them, but that's easier said than done. They disrupt my life, and I have low bp, so can't take beta blockers to see if they help. Wondered if this is a safe alternative?

    Made me very dizzy--I took 1 a day for three days--the recommendation was 2-3 a day. I woke up the third day, the room was spinning! It gradually went away and next morning the same and hadn't taken any--third day I was back to normal.

    That is something I new I learned to day thanks! I do not have any known heart problems or any other health issues and I plan to keep it that way with the help of Fish Oil. ( Take Omega 3 Capsules by Neurovi . com. ) Though lately I have noticed an increase in stress level..but I always take the time to just relax so I think I'll be fine.. either way thanks for the very informative article!
