Hello everyone,
Not sure if anyone has encountered similar symptoms as me but here it goes. So I was diagnosed with "GAD" around 3 years ago and since then I haven't really found peace. I love exercising and im in great condition but whenever I push myself too hard I start getting dizzy also experiencing shortness of breath. Throughout the day I will feel restless, dizzy spells, faint-like feeling. Ive had numerous studies done to rule out major diseases. I have gone through like 10 ekgs, stress echo, holter monitor, blood work,chest X-rays and the only thing found was "PACS" which i was told by my cardiologist that its completely benign and nothing to worry about. So at this point I don't know if I'm going crazy or if I really have something going on that I'm unaware of.

Hey chris91,

I suggest that you View my previous post about Generalised Anxiety Disorder at http://anxietyforum.net/forum/showthread.php?33964-New-to-the-site-and-looking-for-help&p=223989#post223989

Give the Meridian Tapping Technique / EFT a good tryout, to see if it helps you. It is free via mercola.com or www.tapping.com (13 free videos), or www.eftuniverse.com or www.emofree.com or one of the many YouTube videos. Google: "YouTube; EFT videos".
Professionally instructed is generally preferable (Google: therapists; EFT; [your location] or mercola.com has a locator). - There is a version for use in public places at http://eft.mercola.com (if you like, you can claim to have a headache, as you employ the acupressure massage / tapping on your temples, but you would then be restricted to subvocalising: saying it to yourself in your mind: "Even though I have anxiety, I deeply and completely accept myself)." or words of your own choosing.


I'm not in a position to know if the following applies in your case, but it provides an explanation and a safe option, well worth trying and maintaining:

From http://www.vitamindwiki.com/Handout+on+Vitamin+D+%28Hormone+D%29+and+sleep+-+Gominak+2012 by neurologist Dr. S Gominak:

"If you have a neurologic problem that is severe enough to see a neurologist, you probably do not heal your body in sleep as perfectly as you once did. Most of us who have headaches, tremor, balance difficulties, vertigo*, burning in the feet, depression, body pain, or memory loss have abnormal sleep and, surprisingly, fixing the sleep can fix the neurologic problem. From 2005-2009 I performed sleep studies on most of my patients and used medications or sleep masks to try to help their sleep. In 2009 I accidentally discovered that most of my patients had abnormal sleep because they were vitamin D deficient."

* DIZZINESS.


Note that most doctors would regard lower levels of vitamin D as being acceptable than those recommended by Dr. John Cannell of the vitamin D council, or Professor Michael Holick, a former member, and an expert in vitamin D. Your doctor may, if your vitamin D levels were even tested, considered that they did not constitute a clinical deficiency.

View my previous answer about vitamin D and natural health at https://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20151206210338AALSwb9&submit=y An excellent one page summary about vitamin D may be found at http://www.drfranklipman.com/vitamin-d-faq/ but it lacks info on its cofactors, zinc, boron, vitamin K2, and magnesium. If supplementing, (the non preferred method, according to www.vitaminDcouncil.org ) use only vitamin D3.
My target range is now 60 ng/ml (150 nmol/lit) to 70 ng/ml (175 nmol/lit) as recommended by Drs. Gominak and Mercola. To ensure sufficient cofactors (magnesium, boron, vitamin K2, and zinc; most people get enough calcium) I also take a multivitamin, mineral, amino acids, ubiquinol, etc. supplement called Total Balance, Men's version, from xtend-life.com, although a high quality one like Suisse, would suffice, from pharmacies, or supermarkets.
