This is one of the most fascinating and thought provoking reads for some time. Thank you for taking the time to go into such great detail.

People do forget that what they consume can also trigger these emotions of stress, anxiety, panic and depression as well as the more positive motions. And it can be easier to track down to what you’ve consumed

@EmeraldEyes

Nine times out ten either nothing can be done about it or it’s out of your hands, so all you can do is ride it out

The below is included as what you do is quite amazing- if others can do this, it would be fantastic but if not they can always read your posts which are full of so much helpful information and advice

Reading about and helping others with their real issues soon has me forgetting about my sudden bout of unexplainable anxiety.

Your reference to blood pressure struck a chord with me as for a while after my TIA I was overmedicated, with my blood pressure consistently low.

Absolutely - this is more common than people realise.
My Mum’s GP even refused to take her off the BP medication when we asked and it was only after an incident that landed Mum in hospital that the hospital consultant immediately took Mum of the BP medication as it was so totally unnecessary for her.
Own the responsibility for your medications - the GP will not necessarily do so!
