yeah, i used to get really nasty heart palpitations, and for me it was a magnesium deficiency...It cleared up completely with magnesium supplementation

so sorry to hear what you are going through, if it's stopping you from exercising or living your life the way you want you should take action ASAP, i could understand if you feel like you might need meds for a little while, but i still hope that you can fight it the natural way, cause often those meds just create other problems for your health. and i know it's hard to listen to yourself when going through so much cause you can't tell what's right, but i know you will make the right choices for you.

definitely make sure your getting enough magnesium and calcium, either by eating lots of food high in these minerals. or taking extra supplements, dark leafy greens are real important cause they have that calcium, and the chlorophyll will help your blood and your heart.

E3 live or any other form of algae is also real good to take, i think, cause of the minerals, b vitamins, and brain nutrients, they make a new one called, brain on, which is kinda like blue manna, only in fresh liquid form

Ginko Biloba is a real good herb to take since it relaxes the blood vessels and helps it flow through your body and your brain. and CoQ10, don't know specifically what it does for u, but i know it helps for alot of heart issues. there are many more herbs to help calm and settle nerves, but everyone's body is different, so you would need to find what works best for you.

if you want, i would be willing to send you a custom made chocolate, on me, hopefully it could help with what you are going through. i'll be praying for you

thank you raf!! you're so sweet. i'd be all for the custom made chocolate HOWEVER, cacao gives me heart palps! hahaha...i try to lay off the stuff! thank you though...

i am supplementing mag/calcium...just started actually. also find it appropriate to up my intake of greens. when in doubt, greens are the best!

i don't feel like my anxiety has paralyzed me to the extreme just yet. i am really going to try and wait this out. i know that i will know when the time is right for me to take some action with meds. and that time is not now. and i hope it never comes. today was a good day. i've been finding my days go every other...so tomorrow should be rough. but i'm hopeful that i might start seeing some improvements with the changes that i make each day. if i want to have a good day, i can. its all up to me.

thank you!!

Ever try bikram yoga? Its great for strenghtening the heart and teaching control of breathing, which in turn teaches control of anxiety, at least for me.

You've got the food dialed it seems, other than that, I think exercising / practicing how you want to be is a good tact.

Remember that you don't have a poison deficiency, which is what the "meds" actually are. Numbing your brain while wreaking havoc on the organism should be the very very last resort.

Peace

was waiting for a brilliant jason comment!

thanks man. the more i read about the dangers of these medications..the more determined i become to beat this on my own. i read an article on naturalnews.com about antipsychotics and how dangerous they are. thank goodness i've never had to be one one, i've been on antidepressants but how far away are they from a study about these too?


and here's one about magnesium that leaves me hopeful!

I have noticed a BIG improvement with my general mood, nervous system and anxiety since listening to The Secret medidation cd at nights, but most of all i read this book called Gut Instinct and it describes the stomach as the second brain, and how when this os out of balance with our bodies we can experience depression, anxiety etc.. The best way to balance the "second Brain" is to breathe properly. When you breath in inflate your stomach and lungs fully, letting it rise up as much as you can, then when you breathe out deflate the stomach bringing it as far back towards your back as you can. The book advises you to do this for at least 10 breathe when you remember. I make sure i do it when i wake up, before i go to sleep and as much as i can at work when i think of it. It has definatley made a bid difference just breathing properly and getting that extra dose of oxygen. :)
I wish you well. xx

agreed. I have a silent, flashing timer attached to the bottom of my monitor at work. every 30 minutes it flashes >>> catches my eye >>> reminds me to sit up straighter and take a bunch of deep breaths. very effective and easy system. Cheap too.....I think the timer was about $12 at a kitchen supply store.

*hugs!* awr, this sounds so rough =/<3, I feel you, anxiety issues are the worst ugh =[.
How much green juice do you drink? I had anxiety issues too but then I started to drink green juice and I don't get that anymore, what kind of raw are you doing? I really believe that any mental or physical health issues on raw are a result of; being exposed to toxins (air lalala), some kind of defincy, low calorie intake, improper food combining or high fat (but that's just imo ^-^). Also maybe it's your meds to an extent, I read this study about migarines, and the research showed that the meds that people were taking for their headaches started to give them headaches - I also read on this fashion blog that acne skin cream and anti-dandruff shampoo actually add to the problems. It's like that shit gives immediate relief or covers up the symptoms but in the long term it contributes to the saga cause then if you keep having these problems then you can keep buying the product that 'cures' them - but I don't know, if you feel like you need them then...
Oh, have you talked to Adam before? He's awesome, he's on this site, I don't know if he goes on here much, but he knows shit loads about nutrition and will be likely to help loads. I think I read that bananas are good for anxiety issues =].

Definetly stay away for the meds (check out CCHR.Org) to see what damage they can do - it's like pouring gasoline to put out a fire - does more damage than good.
I have just been watching the new Dianetics ( Dianetics dvd at Dianetics.org) and it really explains where unexplained anxiety comes - blew my mind.
It's a part of your mind that is hidden from you and can be triggered to cause unexplained fears and anxieties.
The new film explains it so simply.
