B vitamin link?

Posted , 4 users are following.

I've been reading on line the symptoms of B vitamin deficiency and they sound just like anxiety symptoms. Shortness of breath, heart palpitations, fatigue and even anxiety itself. Has anyone hear of this? I'm going to start taking a B complex supplement to see if it helps

    Yes! People low on vitamin b12 can experience all of these symptoms. A simple blood test can tell you your numbers.

      To be honest, I would recommend having the blood test before taking vitamins. As I am a vegetarian, I was taking B12 tablets daily (1000ug) but it appears my body does not absorb B12 this way - I have since had to have B12 injections which will hopefully solve the problem. Ask your GP and see what your number is

      If you have trouble absorbing B12 from tablets you can get it in spray form which you just spray under your tongue. This has worked well for me as I have IBD which means I struggle absorbing things from tablets.

    Yes , a deficiency especially in vitamin D can cause all these symptoms plus stomach issues like IBS , gastritis , bloating , gassy , etc . It is best to get your levels tested ,so you will know how much to take . Studies with 60,000 patients that suffer anxiety ,panic , gastritis ,IBS , 90% were vitamin D deficient . Have you not read my concerns and information on this ? Vitamin D is a Pro Hormone that is vital for our health from head to toe , in every cell etc . Have your levels tested .
