Hi there,
i'd just like to know if it is possible
for anxiety/paranoia to cause symptoms
that you read about. Recently, every
symptom i've read up on here I seem to
get, i.E. Fatigue, sweating, night
sweats, headache. I even thought my
glands in neck were up after reading it
but think my neck was just really tensed
after reading about it. Im not sure if
these are symptoms or all in my mind!I
know it sounds crazy but I think my mind
is playing tricks on me. Especially as
these were occuring after id consumed a
lot of alcohol over a period of time.Is
this possible with all these symptoms to
have sort of imagined them or are they
actuaslly happening?

Alcohol creates stress on the mind/body
and really messes with brain coherence,
which in turn causes a chemical imbalance.
Therefore, I doubt your problems are
just "all in the mind". In fact, over
the years i've come to the conclusion that
anxiety/depression are physical disorders
and the treatment approach should be no
different than any other phyiscal type
disorder. For years I suffered from
panic attacks, anxiety, and severe
depression. But it wasn't until I
discovered ces (cranial
electro-stimulation) that I finally got
relief. What ces does is stimulate
the hypothalamus and restore the brain to
homeostasis. Many researchers believe
that it actually picks up the "dead" cells
and recharges them, so they can function
normally again and restore the naturual
processes of brain coherence.
I'd quit drinking for awhile and see if it
clears up. As I stated above, drinking
causes stress and when the brain becomes
over-stressed it will eventually exhibit
signs of incoherency, which leads to
chemical imbalance and then leads to
symptoms of anxiety and depression. By
brain incoherency I mean that the natural
brainwave rhythms are being disturbed and
therfore that's causing a cascade of other
brain functions to falter. Mainstream
medicine is hooked on treating with drugs
and that just addresses the problem at the
symptom level. Ces addresses the
problem at the electrical level, which is
the root of brain functioning. You
don't experience consciousness without
brainwave functioning. In fact, you're
brain dead when brainwave functioning
stops.
