Why i have dizziness and heart palpitations - #352

Hello Priya, it sounds like you are experiencing a range of concerning symptoms, which can often be interrelated. Given your low Vitamin D3 level of 8, it's possible that this deficiency is contributing significantly to your symptoms. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in bone health, immune function, and overall well-being, and its deficiency can lead to joint pain, muscle weakness, and fatigue, potentially exacerbating your thyroid condition. In Ayurveda, your symptoms may indicate an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement and can lead to issues like dizziness and joint discomfort when aggravated. It's important to focus on both dietary and lifestyle modifications. Start by increasing your Vitamin D intake through foods such as fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and eggs, or consider supplementation after consulting with a healthcare provider. Incorporate warming, grounding foods like whole grains, cooked vegetables, and healthy fats, which can help balance Vata. Regular, gentle exercises like yoga or walking can improve circulation and reduce joint stiffness. Additionally, practices such as meditation and deep breathing exercises may help manage anxiety and improve sleep quality.

Hey Priya, I hear ya. So, feeling dizzy and having heart palpitations with all those tests coming back normal can be a bit confusing, right? First off, let’s address the Vitamin D3 part. An 8 is really low, and when D3 levels are down in the dumps like that, it can mess with your whole system. Low D3 is known to cause fatigue and bone pain, which might explain your joint issues. In Ayurveda, we could look at this as an imbalance in the Vata dosha. Vata governs movement and flow in the body, and when it's out of whack, you might feel restless, anxious, or have sleep probs—kinda lines up with a lot of what you’re experiencing. To help balance Vata, warmth is key. Try maintaining a regular schedule, warm oil massages (like sesame oil), and engage in calming activities like yoga or meditation. Warm, nourishing foods could also help, think soups, stews, and cooked grains. For the dizziness and palpitations...dehydration or lack of grounding foods might contribute here. Drinking enough warm herbal teas, like ginger or cinnamon, throughout the day could be helpful. Focus on grounding foods too like warmed veggies and whole grains. Sleep troubles can sometimes be due to Vata pushing around too much mental energy before bedtime, so establish a calming wind-down routine. Maybe try a turmeric milk or drink infused with nutmeg (all about grounding and calming) before hitting the sack. And while Ayurveda shines with these holistic approaches, if you're feeling particularly uncomfortable, continue consulting with your doctor. Low D3 needs addressing, sometimes with supplementation that only qualified professionals should handle. Keep an eye too on how you're feeling with these practices. A slight tweaking on lifestyle sometimes works wonders. Remember, take it one step at a time. :)
