Lecithin or Inositol for Anxiety?
Is Lecithin or Inositol good for anxiety?
Lecithin is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation and largely comprises the protective sheaths surrounding the brain.
Inositol has been studied for bipolar disorder, panic disorder, bulimia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, but the evidence remains far from conclusive. A small double-blind study (21 participants) found that people given 12 g of Inositol daily had fewer and less severe panic attacks as compared to the placebo group.

Anxiety Disorder - Physical Symptoms
I�ve been having trouble breathing, rapid heart beats, and I�ve been totally out of breath whenever I do anything cardio such as even walking up a bunch of stairs.
But can anxiety cause you to feel totally lazy and winded and make your heart beat faster and tired? If this anxiety disorder continues, can I permanently damage my heart or lungs?
I hope I can help. Ordinarily, I am not a big fan of pharmaceuticals, but when I found myself in a similar predicament my doctor prescribed a low dosage anti-depressant and I was able to function until I could address the root cause of the anxiety disorder. A pill is by no means the answer, any more that a splint is the cure for a broken leg; but it can be of some temporary help.

Anxiety & Depression from Impaired Blood Flow
According to the reading I have done regarding hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), the brain, when it senses that blood sugar is low, will sometimes do strange things to get the blood sugar (glucose) out of storage and into the blood stream.
Anxiety and depression are two symptoms that can also be due to chronic low blood sugar.
Check out the symptoms link at www.hufa.org to find out more symptoms that also may be low blood sugar related. There is an article on that site that gives some hints on what can be done for low blood sugar.
