Francis Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi all- one of my main anxiety symptoms is trembling and/or tightness in my chest. It seems to be helped somewhat by magnesium.

Administrator Altostrata Posted January 22, 2013 Administrator Share Posted January 22, 2013 Francis, we have a lot of symptoms that seem to be caused by overstimulation of the vagus nerve in the front of the chest. It controls many autonomic functions. Magnesium, "nature's calcium channel blocker," helps to calm the nerve transmissions. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.
