Vitamins and minerals to help anxiety?

[KornishPiskie]

Hi guys,

I'm a long time sufferer of anxiety but the last month has been really bad. I'm not sure they are panic attacks I'm having. My process seems to be:

1. I perceive something as a threat

2. I have this feeling of energy rising in me coming from solar plexus area up to my head

3. I can't think straight at all and become extremely agitated.

4. Once I feel the threat has gone I feel like I'm calming down and starting to breath normally again

5. I'm exhausted afterwards and a bit vacant

I think it's my adrenaline rising and preparing for the threat and wondered if there were any vits, minerals and herbs to support them? I have an idea but not from an anxiety viewpoint (I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis).

Thanks everyone

Hi Kornish, I too have those feelings and I

Have been having blood tests to check thyroid levels and other things. Been diagnosed as borderline anemic and vitamin B12 deficient so now on tablets. I will see how that goes.

Hi Watto,

Thanks for the response. I am hypoT but have a great GP who goes by symptoms not lab values but she also does thorough testing. I was low in Vit D so went on a protocol for that and it was working well. Im wondering if I need to up the dose though as the autumn weather has come xx
