Hi there,
I am new here, I really need some insight.
Brief history:
I am 36 yo female, I have been trying to quit smoking for well over 5 years on the Patch, I never seem to be successful, anywhere from 1 year to 3 months smoke free, just to start up again. For years now, I have only physical symptomes of severe panic attacks, and onlyyyy when I am about to fall assleep. I have a rapid heart rate, and alot of stress, 8 years ago I finally agreed to take anti-anxiety med as well as Atenolol to lower my hr. I weaned my self off all meds once I became educated as to the dangers. I have been off all meds for 3 years. I still have horrific attacks only in the pm just as I fall assleep, it is as if therre is an electrical storm going on in my chest-no emotional issues at all-just horrible physical, I am terrified that the adrenaline typ surges will cause me to have a heart attack!
At times it is so strong, I have my breath taken away and am left gasping to calm my body down.
I also was getting these strange sharp zap type sensations through my head-loud like a whip crack or a loud zap-no pain at all. I found that if I had 2 glasses of wine, quite fast-before I went to bed, I had no panic or zaps- My doc wants me on ativan instead of wine, I am fearful of getting back on that drug rollercoaster.
Also, my bp has been low for 3 years now, not crazy low but lower 100/60 my feet go blue when sitting or crossing my feet, and I get strange sensations like warm water is being poured down my legs below my knees. I dont know what to do anymore, please, any input is valued.

...One night, a few years ago, I had the feeling I was going to die.
I was terrified, and I called a healer I know has great skill.
That's when I learned that he has his own concerns and was not glad I had called...but he suggested that I take a footbath in Himalayan Crystal Mineral Salts.
I had some in my cupboard for about three years, unaware of how to use them.
As he suggested I poured a mildly warm footbath in a tub, added about a half a cup of the finest grind of the Mineral Salts, and soaked my feet for 20 - 30 minutes.
Nothing happened. I didn't feel any 'high' of relief, or anything, so I dried my feet and went to bed.
I had a pleasant enough sleep, which I later remembered was unusual for me at that time, and I dressed when I awoke and I was halfway down the stairs to breakfast when I realized that I was no longer afraid.
I felt fine...like myself.
I have a strong suspicion that depression/alarm/fear/etc., are related to electrolyte imbalances. ...And that footbaths, hand/arm baths, or full baths in a 1% solution of Himalayan Crystal Mineral Salts and warm water, balance our electrolytes.
Pour coarse crystals into a jar of water and leave overnight. As long as there are still unmelted crystals in the bottom of the jar in the morning the water is a 26% solution...sole (pronounced so-lay). The water has accepted as much salt as it will take.
(Replace the water you removed from your jar of sole, until the rocks disappear, then add more.)
Then, if you take a cup (or any measure) of the sole, add 26 cups of warm water, you will have a 1% solution.
Your skin cells will balance the mineral content of your body between the water around your cells, the water in your cells, and the bath.
One kg. of the salts is the approximate amount needed for a bathtub of water. Use the finest grind and melt in a bucket, beforehand. Unmelted salt is uncomfortable to sit on.
When I took full baths I was somewhat disappointed that I didn't feel 'high' or joyous or something...but feeling well and 'balanced' is a great thing. Perhaps note how well you sleep.
There is tendency to look for single causes for anxiety attacks. This is in line with traditional medical practice where usually single agents - pharmaceutical drugs - are used to treat anxiety and other mood disorders. But single agents, drugs or nutrients or supplements seldom do the job, because if we want to treat mood disorder we are in fact dealing with a complex biochemical abnormality that can have multiple causes or deficiencies. Furthermore because of our individual biochemistry what may be good for one person may be poison to an other.
treatment is simple enough for anyone.
If the attacks have pure panic nature, i.e. fear behind,
treatment is done on points of nails of both RING fingers.
The simplest one but working quickly is heating both ring fingers nails by 3 incense sticks tied together all over the surface, starting from right hand.
For years, I experienced something that seems similar, but I never described it as anxiety/panic. I would be fine, fall into that in-between sleep and awake place and just stay there. If my heart felt like it was beating fast or my blood felt like it was racing, some weird sensation of movement in my body, I knew it was going to be one of those nights. Also, if my husband moved even just a little bit, or there was some small noise, or sometimes just spontaneously, I heard a loud noise that sounded really loud and JOLTED me awake.
I never noticed a trick with wine.
For me, it was NO carbs with dinner. If I found I still had difficulty sleeping, I could eat 1 or 2 eggs and then fall asleep fine.
I was having some muscle pain and somewhere read something about taking magnesium, so I tried a cal-mag supplement. It did not help with the muscle pain, but I noticed I no longer had any problems sleeping and have come to think of myself as a very good sleeper in the few years I have been taking the cal-mag.
I take cal mag with vitamin D.
Just a thought. Wonder if it would help you.
I think for me, this is just part of a larger problem I have with candida/food allergies/leaky gut.
