Hello, It is good to know that you have already taking medicines. I hope these are prescribed by a qualified doctor. It is also very important to address gastric problem as it will also accelerate the symptoms. You can follow the following guidelines: 1. Start practicing yoga-pranayama regularly after learning from a good teacher. 2. Follow a good sleep routine. 3. Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in the diet. 4. Maintain regular eating times. 5. Drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day. 6. Avoid red meat and processed food 7. Shirodhara with chandanadi thailam for 7 days will help
Take care. Kind regards.

While your heart condition appears well-maintained according to your recent tests, the anxiety and chest discomfort you’re experiencing is a concern that needs a targeted approach. From an Ayurvedic perspective, anxiety is often linked to Vata imbalance, and specific therapies can help ground and calm your mind.
Shirodhara, an Ayurvedic therapy where warm oil is poured gently over the forehead, known to be effective in reducing anxiety, stress, and mental fatigue. It mainly calms the nervous system and promotes deep relaxation. A session of 30 to 45 minutes can be particularly soothing. Ideally, start with weekly sessions for about four to six weeks to notice significant improvements.
Abhyanga, a full-body massage with warm herbal oils tailored to your dosha constitution, can also help in grounding excessive Vata, providing deep relaxation and reduced muscle tension. If feasible, incorporate daily self-abhyanga in the morning before your bath. Use sesame oil or Vata-specific massage oils; heat the oil slightly before application for enhanced benefits.
Continue with Brahmi Ghritam, Jatamansi, and Ashwagandha as they are excellent herbs for calming the mind and reducing stress. Brahmi and Jatamansi are traditionally regarded as medhya rasayana (nervine tonics) beneficial for anxiety relief, while Ashwagandha helps in mitigating stress and promoting restful sleep.
Diet and lifestyle also play critical roles. Aim for regular meal timings, with a focus on fresh, warm, and easily digestible foods. Avoid cold, raw, and processed foods which can aggravate Vata. Regularized sleep patterns, yoga, and pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing), can aid in balancing your Vata.
If symptoms persist or worsen, consult with your healthcare provider or an Ayurvedic practitioner. Immediate professional care is advised in case you experience new or concerning symptoms. Safety and comprehensive care should always be the priority.
