Guest guest Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Well, my trip to the Netherlands/Germany/Belgium/France was great and I managed to get through all of the flights without a panic attack! I was using the kava, valerian and other herbs to help and they did help. I wanted to thank everyone who advised me before my trip My problem now is I am having anxiety and have no idea why. The night we returned I woke up with my heart skipping beats and racing and then had severe anxiety and couldn't shake it even with the herbs. I tried rescue remedy as well as herbal calming teas, liquid herbals, etc. I feel as though I may have an underlying heart problem that causes the anxiety attacks. I say this because usually when the anxiety starts it is after my heart begins to go into weird patterns - like fluttering, thumping, skipping, extra beats, pain sometimes and dizziness. I feel these sensations and immediatly go into anxiety overload fearing something is wrong with my heart. Should I be tested? I only seem to have the anxiety with these episodes which are happening more and more lately. I am totally for using herbals to treat my problem but how do I determine if there is even a real problem? Thanks for your help Tori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hi Tori ! First of all try to relax when you have a spell. The worry will add stress, tighten muscles, restrict blood vessels and simply add to the situation. Are you drinking any form of caffine? Caffine is known for creating the symptoms you are expressing. My first recommendation would be to ensure you are not getting any caffine. Then drops of Cayenne tincture in water would be helpful as would a Nerve Sedative formula or Lobelia to relax the body. In addition, if you are not consuming any caffine, I would get on the Heart formula.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Tori, alcohol, caffeine, processed food, smoking ,meat and diary, all contribute to your concerns, what do you think really is at the basis of this?? Exercise , Yoga, massage, will all help! . I suspect your calcium and magnesium are off balance...Our Total Nutrition and Body Balance will help with this...and Our Nerve Sedative Tea and Formula will support a wired nervous system.... you have to ask what am I doing to contribute to this? Contact me if I can be of further help.. Now take some deep breathes and a glass of water, maybe go for a walk...
