Well i got some really good news today. I went the DR and did a lot of tests. All are normal and I am waiting for blood work.

yeah, partial paralysis can be caused by hyperventilation syndrome - there was a famous case study in fact patrick mckeown's "close your mouth" book is a great guide to Buteyko breathing retraining... 5 minutes every morning and night, along with good nutrition (magnesium's VERY important ...

to be honest, the more i learn, the more i think most cases of anxiety/panic (and especially PVC's and hyperventilation syndrome) are ultimately undiagnosed nutritional deficiencies the number of people i see get completely better taking magnesium supplements or B vitamins (esp Niacinamide) has real...

If you find yourself waking up with a start on the cusp of falling asleep -> often feels like a sudden lung spasm, shortness of breath and often tachycardia... it's hyperventilation syndrome... the symptoms are caused by too rapid a rise in CO2 levels upon relaxing (means you're too stressed when yo...

Heya! A lot of these physical symptoms result from living through long periods of stress... You might call such symptoms fibromyalgia or cfs - which aren't really diseases but common patterns of symptoms Indeed, anxiety/panic/phobia is often no more than a symptom of these vicious circles of stress ...

Hey! Yeah, you know your story isn't so uncommon. It certainly sounds like a fairly typical case of CFS/fibro - any psychological and/or physical stress (esp. a bad virus) can trigger that...

Hi everyone - I dont know if anyone from 2005 still posts of this chat - I remember when it started! Anway my PVCs started way back after I had my son (now 3) and I think I always had them mildly after a heavy drinking session but they never bothered me before. They became hell on earth for me but ...

You beat me to it ;) It's a common symptom of magensium deficiency. About 15-20% of the population are thought to be very low on magenesium... Blood tests aren't much use, although red blood cell magnesium testing is better than nothing (serum mg tests won't tell you much)... Being low on mg basical...

One further bit of advice... Don't sit on it, wait for it to get better or take med's to deal with it! Also avoid deep breathing exercises: yoga, tai chi, etc. like the plague - they provide light short-term relief, but make the problem worse... Also, remember, it's not an illness or disease, it's j...

Hey :) It's not anxiety per se, it's hyperventilation syndrome . A slight tendancy to breathe too deeply or too fast, which becomes a habit following any prolonged stress, from anxiety to infections, being too hot, over-eating, etc. as well as magnesium deficiency. The reason you can't inhale deeply...

I was just going to add, I started the hypoglycemic diet about 3 years ago, and will always stick with it...

Which is maybe best thought of as a coping mechanism for general anxiety, but obviously can become a primary problem in itself... All obsessive compuslive behaviours are a deliberate distraction ...

Not dangerous at all! Most people would just say "I've got real bad indigestion" - probably lie down if it was too comfortable, and then forget all about it! I've got friends who get this every other day - they might have hiatus hernias themselves. One book I read suggested 80% of the popu...
