Nightwings I take it in a pill form.
I haven't taken magnesium in a long time and B-complex even longer, so yeah, when it comes to these specific problems, I feel better. Possibly because it's summer, I get more sun and overeat on fruits. 😅 As for my problems in past, I feel incomparably better. For a long time I was in a state when I wasn't even aware that that was not a norm and that wasn't how most people feel and just push through. I had no energy, I was easily cold or suddenly very hot and sweaty, I had racing or strongly pounding heart for no reason, earthquaky feelings when lying on a bed, I had terrible periods and feelings like during period even when I wasn't on it, digestive issues (primarily constipation), frequent UTI, stiff muscles and back pain, I often felt lightheaded and like drunk when I didn't drink any alcohol, I felt inner tremor, anxiety, shortness of breath or like my lungs were restricted, internal discomfort in so many ways and in various parts of my body, sudden bangs as if from inside the chest/lower throat, I don't know how to describe it but it's a weird sensation. Overall, I felt crappy, like when you're about to get sick or when you're sleep deprived but that was how I felt all the time or most of the time.
And then there were those episodes when I knew it wasn't normal, like POTS when I got up, took a few steps and felt like going to faint, fast heart rate, buzzing in ears, seeing white noise, tremor, convulsing muscles that felt like giving way anytime and sometimes it was almost pleasant like falling asleep but I was aware I had to lean on a wall otherwise I'd collapse. This still happens from time to time but it's not that common and definitely not that intense. It just takes seconds and then I'm back to normal. That happens to all my family members from time to time too. Doctors?: "you just have low blood pressure, that is very common in thin young girls." 🙄
By the way, tetany attack felt very similar except that it's also accompanied by crazy tinging in upper jaw, teeth and fingertips.
Then I had something that other would call a panic attack but I don't because it's too mild in compare to what other people who were taken by ambulance described as a panic attack to me. I don't have the core reaction which is panic itself but it may work on the same principle. I simply get sick, it comes gradually, I get a dizzy "rocking boat" spell as if someone shook my brain or something, feel discomfort in stomach/gut, I realize my heart rate is faster, that I breathe fast, feel inner tremor in my arms and elbows and my thoughts are starting to get scattered, all over the place and my body is giving me a command: "you have to sit/lay down now or you'll faint." or "you need fresh air RIGHT NOW, you need to walk it off." I'd say it feels like being poisoned by something my body released comparable to when you get drunk and it suddenly hits your system that you're sick and need to walk it off. Like: "Move, move! Make your body digest this whatever it is." And when I can't move I have to focus hard on something around and control breathing, hold breath if needed, push the heartrate down.
And I found out it's often a rection to dehydration, motion sickness and sometimes even sudden change in temperature, like when back in 2020 wearing a mask I entered a store in winter and it hit me. Simply autonomic nervous system freaking out, reasonably or unreasonably. Also in 2020, it was also psychological after that tetany attack in the bus, it took some time before I retrained my body to not trigger this every time I entered a bus again or even when I stood on a bus stop. I felt the world shake and was like "hey, wtf do you think you're doing?" 😆
