Default turmeric

How likely is this to cause a fast heart rate? I have read that arrhrythmias
have occurred at a dose of 1200mg per day but most sources don't list that as a side effect.

I don't know how much I am taking, I think around 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon with black pepper and olive oil which is supposed to improve bioavailability (?). 2x daily.

Can it cause a burning mouth? I had to go back on higher doses of COPD meds and some of my neuropathy symptoms returned. I've develped a burning mouth which seems to start awhile after I have used Spiriva and lasts for several hours but I didn't know if turmeric could be the cullprit.

thanks,
judi
