Can I use Arjun chal for high blood pressure and anxiety with heart palpitations while taking Ashwagandha and magnesium? - #56343

Based on your description, your symptoms appear to be related more to stress-induced anxiety and temporary palpitations after seeing a high BP reading. It is encouraging that breathing exercises, Ashwagandha, and magnesium have already helped you feel calmer. From an Ayurvedic perspective, anxiety, palpitations, and fear are commonly associated with Vata aggravation, while stress can also influence Pitta. Managing the mind and nervous system is therefore an important part of treatment. Ashwagandha – Supports the nervous system, helps reduce stress and anxiety, and promotes emotional balance. Arjun Ki Chaal (Terminalia arjuna) – Traditionally used as a heart-supportive herb and may help maintain cardiovascular health. Magnesium – Can support muscle relaxation, calm the nervous system, and may help reduce palpitations related to stress. These are generally used together by many people, but since you have hypothyroidism and take thyroid medication daily, it is best to keep a gap of at least 3–4 hours between your thyroid medicine and any supplements/herbs to avoid interference with absorption. Ayurvedic Recommendations Continue regular deep breathing, meditation, or Pranayama daily. Maintain adequate sleep and a consistent routine. Avoid excess tea, coffee, energy drinks, and late-night screen exposure. Stay well hydrated and include nourishing, easily digestible foods.
