Irrational fears/intrusive thoughts from magnesium deficiency?
For background info I used to have depression and anxiety that were caused by my prior heart problems. After fixing iron deficiency and back then mild magnesium deficiency - I had ZERO anxiety and depression for almost two years. I then started to supplement vitamin D first 2000IU then switched to 4000IU. I didn't realize that my magnesium was dropping despite supplementing it, meanwhile my calcium and phosphate both shot up to borderline high levels. I started to have bad health problems after 4 weeks that started with nerve burning, later body shaking and then irrational fears (that I never had before). Found out that I also had iron deficiency again, copper deficiency and zinc toxicity. My magnesium is so badly depleted that I can't even go two days without taking it or I get severe symptoms. Went to neurologist and two MRIs were both clear but I had all signs of nerves being hyperexcitable. I managed to fix zinc toxicity, working on fixing both copper and iron deficiency but my magnesium is even worse because I restarted another vitamin D supplements month after that. Only stopped recently. The irrational fears are nothing that I've ever experienced. My old anxiety in the past was completely rational and connected fully to my heart problems. I was wondering if someone had any experience with this. I read about Amygdala and how magnesium is very important for it.
