Folic acid

Hello all,

I have always suffered with anxiety and heart palpitations. Recently, they became worse and I went to the GP who sent me for a blood test. The blood test showed that I have folic acid deficiency(<2.0).

I've been taking 5mg folic acid for two months (I have two months left to go) and my palpitations have stopped.

I know it sound silly but i have always been so aware of my heartbeat that it feels strange not to be aware of it.

I think I'm looking for reassurance from someone who maybe experienced this too.
