Question

Answer 1

It could be one of two things...

low iron, b12 and folic acid

Iron deficency test: Go to the mirror and pull your lower eyelid and see if the color is red or flesh color. If its flesh colored you are lacking enough iron and should take a herbal iron like Floradix. It will take a month to see a difference. Iron carrys oxygen in your blood and if you dont have it you will feel tired, cold hands and feet, headaches, RLS, dull brittle hair, brittle nails, poor sleep, pale skin (see thru), shortness of breath, fatigue, poor concentration, low mood, ringing in the ears, irregular heart beats, cracks in the corner of the mouth, dizziness, fainting, sore tongue and canker sores. Add b12 and folic acid for best results



and/or low potassium

Potassium is called the "alkalizer". It neutralizes acids and restores alkaline salts to the blood stream, and works with sodium in all cells including at nerve synapses to maintain or restore membrane potentials and assist in metabolic processes.

Potassium is critical to cardiovascular and nerve function, by regulating the transfer of nutrients into cells and supplying muscle energy.

Potassium also regulates water balance, assists recuperative powers, aids rheumatic or arthritic conditions (causes acids to leave joints and ease stiffness), is vital for elimination of wastes, is a natural pain desensitizer, helps control convulsions, headaches and migraines, promotes faster healing of cuts, bruises and other injuries, and generally contributes to a sense of well being.

Potassium is stored in the muscles.
