Common Questions and Answers about Social anxiety vitamin deficiency
anxiety
Most of your symptoms sound familiar to me when I had anxiety, social anxiety and depression. If this is the case I had medications, herbal remedies, and counselling over many years. I was constantly diagnosing every twinge I had which heightened my anxiety/depression. The only thing that helped me was to push through the front door and start walking, then jogging and running. I'm more fit/healthy and my anxiety level is now 0.
Anxiety and panic attacks are symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. Anxiety and panic attacks are also symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Any type of physical or mental stress (including surgery) depletes magnesium levels. Worth trialing sublingual (under the tongue) B12 and chelated magnesium supplements. Do not take magnesium if you have heart or kidney problems.
I've had severe serotonin deficiency myself notably from vitamin B12 deficiency from autoimmune pernicious anaemia (I take sublingual B12 spray which is amazing!) but from MANY other causes from hypothyroidism to insulin resistance to vitamin D deficiency. The problem is finding the cause or causes but at the end of the symptoms and causes of serotonin deficiency is general info to help boost serotonin.
Hi,
Pain, tingling and numbness is suggestive of neuropathy.
Neuropathy can be involving single nerve or many nerves which is called as mono-neuropathy or poly-neuropathy.
This peripheral nerve pathology can be due to Diabetes, Prediabetes, Vitamin deficiency, and altered blood pressure status, any nutritional deficiency, and abnormal endocrine status, compression of nerve or impingement of nerve at time of exit from Vertebrae.
Vitamin D Deficiency is directly related to depression Stress and anxiety,Vitamin D acts on the areas of your brain that are linked to depression, but exactly how vitamin D works in your brain isn’t yet fully understood.
Your anxiety,can depend on how much sun you are exposed to if you are an individual who is particularly strongly affected by seasonal shifts.
Magnesium is also the most important co factor for vitamin D absorption. Vitamin D deficiency is one cause of chronic pain. Magnesium deficiency symptoms include chronic pain, anxiety, nausea and blurred vision.
Excerpt from Know the Importance of Taking Enough Magnesium with Your Vitamin D...
"Vitamin D, just like all other nutrients, works in harmony with several other nutrients to perform its many functions. Most importantly, vitamin D requires and 'uses up' magnesium to convert from supplements or sun into its active form in the blood. As such, it is a big mistake to simply take large doses of Vitamin D without taking the need for magnesium into consideration.
4 months back I was diagnosed with vitamin d deficiency with a level of 4ng/ml; extremely low. I had range of symptoms e.g extreme tiredness, severe anxiety, insomnia, sleep paralysis, explosive head syndrome, tingling and numbness etc. My first thought was I might have MS. And whichever disease I would look on internet I had majority of associated symptoms. This was due to severe anxiety caused by low vitamin d.
I wouldn't worry now that you are getting a supplement, and get outside in the sun everyday to help with this as well. I don't know of any connection between low vitamin D levels and anxiety, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Just don't dwell on it, concentrate on getting your level back up and living life. Take care!
I was having some anxiety with the physical pains but this forum has really help since I see I am not the only one going through it! Could not believe that a vitamin d deficiency could cause these problems!!

jul04 is right on about Magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can cause anxiety, panic, fear, depression, stress conditions, etc. Magnesium and the B Complex Vitamins are essential to handling stress calmly and smoothly.
Some of the safer and more effective forms of magnesium include: Taurate, Glycinate and Citrate (can be laxitative -- take with food).
The typical blood test for magnesium isn't very effective.
). I was diagnosed with a severe vitamin D deficiency 3 weeks ago and have been prescribed 60,000iu per week. My doctor didn't really say anything at all about how long it would take to feel better. So far I've had no change in symptoms at all yet. I guess it is a long haul!
Anyway, I have a couple of questions...maybe someone will know. Can this deficiency be something that comes on very gradually, i.e. can it take a few years?
My mother had severe social anxiety and severe major depressive disorder. She was taking nexium for severe GERD and LPR for 5 years and was very ill. I searched online for an answer...and i found it! Insufficient stomach acid! I took her off nexium (acid blocker) and put her onto betaine HCI with pepsin supplements (to increase stomach acid) and digestive enzyme supplements (to improve digestion).
