Anxiety Treatment

[Bobby6979]

Hello,
I am a 32 yr old male.  About a year ago, I started having a number of odd symptoms (pounding heart, shortness of breath, skin tingling all over, muscle twitches, overall tense feeling).  I have been to 3 doctors now who have told me it is all due to anxiety.  A month ago, I started feeling short of breath, then my whole head and arms started tingling/going numb, and I felt like I was going to pass out.  My brother rushed me to the ER where they checked all my vitals and everything checked out fine.  Again, I was told it is anxiety.  I went to my natural care doctor who started me on acupuncture sessions and gave me a supplement called "stress essentials".  I have been to 3 acupuncture appointments and have been taking the stress essentials for 2 weeks.  I guess I just wanted to know if anyone has had any luck with this combination of treatments.  Now, it seems the only symptom I'm having is the feeling tense all the time.  My doctor also gave me"peaceful spirit formula", which he told me to take if I don't feel any better by week 3 (he did this because I travel for work and will not be able to see him again for 5 weeks).  Again, just wondering if anyone has had any luck with these treatments or if they have any other recommendations.  I forgot to mention, I have had every test run on my heart that is possible and had plenty of bloodwork done.  I have to small daughters and would like to be able to get myself back on track for their sake.  Thanks for any help.

I have not tried the formula yet, I'm trying to put it off.  I will not be home for another 4 weeks still and I only have a 10 day supply of the peaceful spirit formula, so I'm trying to wait it out.  I'm doing ok, though, As long as I keep busy and don't let my mind wander, I do ok.  Thanks again.

Your very welcome. I'm glad to hear you get adjustments. Yes, your so right. It does take us a long time to get to this point so it can take awhile to get back. Have you tried any of the formula he gave you? It may really help.

Thank you very much for your reply.  My natural doctor is also a chiropractor so I get adjusted each time I go in.  I'm not looking for an overnight cure, I know that's impractical, I just wanted to see if others had found success with the natural route.  I know it took me a long time to get to this stage and I'm sure it will take awhile to get back.  Thanks again for your info.

A lot of us that have anxiety go the natural holistic route on top of the traditional medicine route. I do both myself. I see a Chiropractor and my family Dr both for treatment. I do take traditional meds instead of anything from my Chiropractor, other than vitamins. It can take awhile to get your body back in balance so hang in there with your treatments. Does your natural care Dr also do adjustments? I get them about once a month and feel sooo much better after! If I were you, I would continue with the natural Dr for awhile. If your still feeling very anxious you might want to think about seeing a counselor or a Psychiatrist too.
