I fell asleep on the couch and took a nap with the cat perched triumphantly atop the highest part of my hip for a while. I woke up with like, heart palpitations or something, I can’t catch my breath, quite, and I had almost no appetite for dinner which my poor dude slaved over. 

I still can’t quite catch my breath. This happens sometimes. I think it’s an anxiety attack while I’m sleeping? 

I also feel like my intestines are full of cement and don’t know why that would be, but I feel like it’s not related. Let’s hope it’s not related. 

It’s not like I can’t breathe but it’s like i have to think about every breath. That’s very… unsettling. 

I wish the cat would come back and snuggle me.

Whoa! Back up. Heart palpitations, difficulty catching your breath, and intestinal problems?

It could be ...
It likely is ...
It is probably ...

Simply a lack of magnesium.

Take it seriously. This sounds *exactly* like me - like the problems I had for about three years before it resulted in a pacemaker.

Get a bottle of magnesium, take about 4 pills, then one a day. If the intestines don't let loose - expansively - within 24 hours, take more.

Magnesium controls the ability of muscle to contract properly, at the right time. Thus arrhythmia of the heart, laggard intestines, and challenge to the lungs.

And most of us don't get enough of it.

I think my problem was partly that I'd had too much cabbage and my body's not used to that much fiber. I definitely need to work on my nutrition though! I know I'm D-deficient, like everybody is this time of year, but I gotta work on the rest of those. Good call!
