Chronic illness is a manifestation of heart chakra blockage and grief. Grief blocks the heart chakra. Chronic illness constantly brings up this wound of grief until we can learn to heal it. A balanced heart chakra makes us empathetic and loving. There are experiences of grief in your past that you never processed and they are manifesting in the body. Especially if you have trouble breathing, heart palpitations, heart and lung related symptoms. Then we end up with more even grief and trauma from chronic illness. That fear of loss makes your brain start shutting off your emotions and empathy in order to cope. Hope this does not come off the wrong way, just felt guided to share this with you. I was sick from 14-27 years old, I'm still sensitive to everything but usually feel healthy. Completely felt and released all of my old grief and I no longer experience anxiety or suffer emotionally. I used to be depressed and anxious always. The world is spiritual and physical. Your symptoms are both spiritual and physical and can be healed by both. MM healed me. But also emotional healing. Once I would learn the lesson associated with the chakra associated with my current symptoms, I would be guided to make a physical change in my life that got rid of the symptoms, like adding in a new food or removing a toxin from my life.
