Magnesium as a panic attacks cure!

enzymatic reaction

I am going to try to explain how you may cure your panic attacks through a higher intake of magnesium.

Our body is like a great chemical machine that constantly moves and reacts depending on what we put in it. Unlike a mechanical machine the biochemical machine has a lot of mysteries that we yet have not figured out. But scientists are more and more looking into the effect that the mineral Magnesium has in the body’s functions. Everything we sense and feel in the body is due to enzymatic reactions. They are chemical reactions in the body made up of an enzyme system with three parts: a protein, a vitamin and a mineral. You might compare it to an electrical charge. In more than 300 of these enzyme reactions the mineral Magnesium is present.

So what happens when you have used up all your Magnesium?

Err.. well the body goes into meltdown! Magnesium deficiency namely has an effect on almost all parts of the body. One might experience twitches, muscle soreness, aches and pains in the head and neck and even jaw joint dysfunction. Other normal signs are tightness in the chest and inability to take a deep breath. People with magnesium deficiency might sigh a lot.

People might experience difficulty to adjust to bright light… Feel a lump in their throat… Constipation… Get annoyed by loud noises. Get heart palpitations and high blood pressure.

It’s getting interesting isn’t it!

But the most affected is the central nervous system, where magnesium deficiency gives symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, hyperactivity, restlessness, panic attacks, agoraphobia and pms. All sorts of pins and needle sensations in the skin might also be connected to deficiency of magnesium.

If you have read so far I think you might be on to something!

You don’t need to have all these symptoms together to have a deficiency in magnesium but they often present themselves together.
Unfortunately it is not easy to test whether you have a deficiency of magnesium in your body as a blood sample doesn’t show the amount that stays in the cells. You may do a series of testing of your urine during a 24 h period and then compare this to a new series of urine samples when given an injection with magnesium. However the best way is probably to look at your symptoms and see whether they lessen with an increased intake of magnesium.

Which kind of food contains magnesium?

You find magnesium in a wholegrain seeds, nuts and vegetables. Green coloured vegetables are full with chlorophyll that is a molecule that is full of magnesium.

Should I take supplements?

If your situation is severe food might not be enough and you might need to take magnesium supplements orally. I do not want to go into the dosage or which supplements to use as I am not a doctor, but if you feel like trying a magnesium supplement you should definitely talk to your physician or therapist so that they can help you get exactly the right one for you…..

And that’s how magnesium might cure your panic attacks!
