Dear hb30427,
it seems to me that your husband is suffering from anxiety attacks that is often associated with depression. As a nutritional psychologist I am not in favour in drug therapy, which should be used only as a last resort.
People who are overproducing adrenaline are inclined to be worrying about all sorts of things.
The reason why some people overproduce adrenaline is because the brain senses an energy starvation caused by insulin resistance, also called hypoglycemia.
The brain is entirely dependent on energy derived form the sugars we eat, and when there is an obstruction in the absorption and metabolism of sugars, the brain is starved of energy and hence trigger the release of stress hormones like adrenaline.
The treatment is going on a hypoglycemic diet.
This condition can be medically tested by a special test described at our web site as:
“testing for hypoglycemia and how the doctor can help” by dr george samra sydney australia.
Please read:
“what is hypoglycemia?”
“beating anxiety”
“depression a nutritional disorder”
at our web site.
Please discuss with a doctor or other therapist familiar with hypoglycemia and nutritional disorders.
