Geomagnetic storms cause me to get tachycardia and erratic blood pressure. Magnetic fields are messing up my heart (MRI, sinus)

I've been feeling pretty ill since the 12th, which is when there was a geomagnetic storm. I have several heart conditions that I've been diagnosed with - POTS, IST, and cardio-inhibitory syncope. My heart conditions are severe enough that my heart stopped during a tilt table test conducted a couple of months ago.
I'm familiar with the myriad of studies showing correlations between geomagnetic storms and heart problems:
Although I am on a medication called Ivabradine, my heart rate has been uncharacteristically high since the 12th. My average resting heart rate while on Ivabradine is 53 beats per minute, but since the 12th my heart rate has been hovering around 85-90, even with my medication. Additionally, my heart rate will be very unstable, going from 65 to 95 within minutes, and back again. I like to study scientific topics and I am also familiar with the effect that magnetic fields have on electrical things. Hearts and nervous systems are electrical, too, so it makes sense that magnetic fields would cause the heart and nervous system to malfunction as well. I had all the magnets in the house removed in case they were additionally interfering with the electrical signals in my heart and nervous system and my symptoms have improved somewhat since the magnets were removed.
My symptoms got a lot worse in May 2020, which was also the month that I had an MRI scan and after reading about fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field being linked to heart problems I have suspicions that exposure to the MRI scanner's magnetic field worsened my POTS and other heart conditions.
Like always there are conflicting statements on the Internet:
"Disturbed geomagnetic activity can also exacerbate existing diseases and is correlated with significant increases in cardiac arrhythmia, cardiovascular disease, incidence of myocardial infarction related death, alterations in blood flow, increased blood pressure, and epileptic seizures." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5805718/
Overall, geomagnetic storms (Ap Index 60+) were associated with 19% increase in the risk of stroke occurrence (95% CI, 11%–27%). https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1...AHA.113.004577
The Earth's magnetic field does not directly affect human health. Humans evolved to live on this planet.
High altitude pilots and astronauts can experience higher levels of radiation during magnetic storms, but the hazard is due to the radiation, not the magnetic field itself. Geomagnetism can also impact the electrically based technology that we rely on, but it does not impact people themselves. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/does-earth...t-human-health
Sometimes, the sun can produce solar flares that can damage machinery and technology—but there's little evidence to suggest harmful solar flare effects on humans. In other words, solar flares are nothing to worry about from a health perspective. "Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground," said NASA https://www.health.com/condition/str...health-effects
Numerous studies have been carried out, and the evidences suggest that space weather activity has a broad range of adverse effects on human health, such as mental illness, cardiovascular mortality, and neurological system diseases [14-16]. On the other hand, other studies have reported no such of relationships exist [15]. Although contradictions have been found between these studies, this field of research has become increasingly important in the present context of a consistent weakening of the Earth’s magnetic field. https://biomedscis.com/fulltext/the-....ID.000203.php
I wonder if it would be helpful for you to listen to healing frequencies/binaural beats. I have a highly sensitive body, so all sorts of things affect me in ways they don't affect others (for example, I frequently experience an elevated heart rate and sinus pressure every night at the point when the sun goes down). I listen to healing frequencies on YouTube for all sorts of ailments, and I have found relief. I see that there are several specifically engineered to regulate or lower the heart rate.
I wish you success in finding some ways to relieve your situation. It's not easy for those of us who have bodies that don't fit into the usual diagnoses.
You're on the computer typing those posts, so you use wifi, internet and other devices emitting electromagnetic waves...
There's no proof that electromagnetic waves from devices cause heart attacks. There's evidence that fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field does, though. See the links I provided in my OP from reputable medical journals.
