Answer 1

Well, have you been under added stress lately?? Most likely by the sounds of it. You have a B12 deficiency. In stressfull situations we need to increase our intake of the B vitamin complex.

You need to increase your intake of foods rich in this vitamin. ie: yeast, liver, beef, eggs and kidney, pork, milk cheese and fish.

Recommended daily intake for adults is 2mcg. I suggest you go to the chemist and ask the pharmacist to recommend a good quality brand of the B complex vitamins for you to purchase.

For B12 to be properly assimilated through the stomach it is necessary to be combined with calcium during absorption to adequately benefit the body.

In the human diet, vitamin B12 is supplied primarily by animal products since plant foods usually don't contain it.

B12 vitamins will alleviate the pains you are having in your chest and any heart palpitations you may be having. It will also increase your energy levels, maintain a healthy nervous system, relieve moodiness and irritability, ease depression, fatigue and exhaustion and improve concentration, memory and balance. Sweating in the hands and head are also symptoms of this deficiency.

Do you also have sore lips, mouth and tongue, cracked and splitting skin around your fingernails, and grainy and sandy feeling eyes?? If so, this is also a B vitamin deficiency, vitamin B2 (Riboflavin). This vitamin will be included in the multi B complex supplement that you purchase. The recommende daily intake for this vitamin is 1.2 - 1.7mg.

Foods rich in B2 are milk, liver, kidney, cheese, leafy green vegies, fish, eggs, yoghurt and beans.


If you are a vegetarian and have excluded eggs and dairy products from your diet, then you need B12 supplementation. If you keep regular "Happy Hours" and drink a lot, B12 is an important supplement for you. Heavy protein consumers also need extra amounts of this vitamin. B12 works best synergistically with all the other B vitamins, hence my advice to get yourself a B complex vitamin supplement. Women may find B12 helpful as part of a B complex during and just prior to menstruation.

If you choose to follow my advice you'll be very pleased you did as you will get release from your symptoms within a day so. In actual fact, you should feel some degree of almost immediate improvement.

GOOD HEALTH TO YOU


PEACE

I'm no doctor, but it could be pericarditis. I have had it on numerous occassions...I thinks it's inflammation of the pericardium (the layer around your heart)

In my case, I was sent home with anti-inflammatories. You could try taking ibubrofen.
