Chest pain/tightness?

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

The last couple of weeks I've been experiencing a kind of tightness in

my chest around the heart/throat area. It's very non-specific, and I

would rather use the words " discomfort " , " pressure " or " tightness " than

" pain " . It comes and goes, but typically I have a few bouts of it in the

evening. It becomes especially noticeable when I go to bed. I feel a

very strong need to tighten/relax my muscles in my legs and arms,

perhaps to distract me from the discomfort in the chest. Usually I also

feel very warm when this happens, but not always.

Does anyone recognize these types of symptoms?

I've done 10 rounds of 1 week on, 1 week off of 100 mg ALA every

three/four hours about a year ago. Then about a month ago I started some

chelation again. I've now gone down to 50 mg of ALA every three/four

hours. Today I stopped my latest round of 50 mg ALA because the feeling

in my chest frightened me. Unfortunately, it does not promptly go away

just because I stop taking ALA. The first incident about a week ago came

the day after I finished a round of 100 mg ALA. I know these doses are

quite high, and I might go down every further in coming rounds (perhaps

12.5-25 mg).

I have been supplementing with 3-4 x 1 tbsp of flax oil every day since

about two weeks ago. I've also been taking magnesium. Yesterday I added

vitamin E and Q-10 in the hopes of relieving my chest symptoms. I've

also ordered arginine, but it has not arrived yet.

Any tips/comments on how to handle this are highly appreciated.
