After practicing as a psychotherapist for 20 years, I thought I had experienced almost everything. I have seen this in my own clients but until it happened to me, you just don’t know! I thought I was going to have a heart attack. On the outside, I tried to be cool but inside, I was freaked out! I didn’t know if I was going to make it through the night. I went to the Emergency Room. Upon getting in, time with the nurse followed by the doctor rendering his diagnosis, ” Your are not having a heart attack, its an anxiety attack!”. I came back with, “Really! I feel like like my heart is pounding out of chest and my head is going to pop!” They explained to me this was typical even though my blood pressure was slightly elevated. Though I was relieved, I wanted it to stop, now!
While you are in this condition, a chemical medicine will be adequate although it might not be the preferred option. I ingested it to interrupt the pattern. I didn’t know about herbology and at that time, I could not imagine that a traditional Chinese herbs for anxiety would have been just as effective.

Causation is well established. When enough stress is presented to the physical-mental-emotional body, the above conditions are likely to surface. We all would do well to notice and take action. It is not sufficient to lessen the symptoms but taking it easy as we look for answers is a wise strategy. Take care of yourself, rest, exercise, be around caring people until you can master the challenges you are confronted with. Eat food and take natural herbs that don’t add to the imbalance but rather help in re-establishing your center.
UNDERLYING PHYSICAL CONTRIBUTION TO ANXIETY DISTRESS
There are numerous reasons and its not always psychological. In truth, the majority of psychotherapists help their patients by appreciating the physical causation. In addition to life stresses, physical deficiency can set up sensations that renders an individual to a sense of helplessness. In Chinese medicine there are two areas of the body that are suspect for depletion:
Heart: the heart can become weakened, or energy deficient. This condition where the energy is not available to the heart and its lead-in vessels can streess the organ. If the heart does not essential energy then like a car, it stalls, speeds up, slows down, uncontrollably.In this situation, rest and vitality, needs to be re-created in the meridians to the heart. When that happens, the chest area relaxes and wellbeing is at hand. Additionally, when the heart balances then the brain follows.
Kidneys: the kidneys may develop deficiency with less energy provided from the kidneys to the heart. Due to stress, overwork and emotional challenges, the adrenals follow. The kidneys are considered the seat of vitality, essence and foundation for energy. When the essence is interrupted then organs throughout the body suffer and synergistically, the heart pumps less blood. To compensate, the heart can pump harder, grow larger or become erractic due to the stressed depleted state. As above mentioned, rest is essential so kidneys restore and the body recharges.
