It has been going for 4 months now, i did some blood test and chest x ray pulmonary function stress and echocardio and it did not show anything, but when i put my symptoms on symptoms checker i always get some problem in the heart and or anxiety disorder , but basically it always shows cornary artery disease. I know that tests can not always give the right outcome, and i need you to help me out how to get rid of my symtoms using herbs, because now i can not do anything and i told me dr that my SOB is continous and when i talk i am SOB.

Thank you
Answer Hi Mark,
You are taking some very good supplements to help strengthen a heart condition. Before we discuss that, let's see how we can get to a correct diagnosis that will go a long way in improving your condition. Some times the symptoms can be difficult to diagnose or are misleading.
I would ask my doctor if he could administer a test called a spirometry (a procedure that measures air taken in and out of the lungs). Asthma can be difficult to diagnose and should be ruled out. There is also Cardiac asthma is a condition that causes asthma-like symptoms that are caused by the heart.
Anxiety disorder is a far more common problem than was once thought. A person having a panic attack often believe he or she is experiencing a heart attack. Shortness of breath is a common symptom.
For clogged arteries (Arterioscerosis): Garlic is very good. Omega 3 (Essential Fatty Acids) is very good. Also Vitamin C. Hawthorn berry is very good plus it strengthens the heart muscle.
These are all very safe to take.
I would add 1,500 mg of calcium daily. This is needed to maintain proper muscle tone in the arteries. Add 750 mg of magnesium and 400 mg of vitamin D daily. Use chelate forms.
I would add 100 mg Coenzyme Q10 daily to improve tissue oxygenation.
Another helpful herb to take Cayenne (capsicum).
Eat a high fiber diet low in fat and cholesterol. Fruits, vegetables, and grains should be your main foods.
I would take Catnip tea, Motherwort, and Passionflower to promote relaxation.
Skullcap and Valerian root can be taken at night to help prevent panic attacks.
Where is your numbness?
Mark, I hope this will help. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. There is something causing your SOB. I hope you find it soon.
