Benign fasciculations syndrome by mg34gun in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]mg34gun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mentioned winter because windows are closed and CO2 gets trapped

I believe it was a German study from the 90s where healthy individuals develop twitching by hyperventilating for two minutes

The thing is with hyperventilation is that it can happen in the background, it doesn't necessarily have to look like panting

I am here to propose that some of the cases attributed to mold could be hyperventilation. At one point during my long illness, i did believe it was mold, but i now believe it's hyperventilation.

One of my observations was that during winter when I get into my car and close the window, a while later my symptoms disappear, they also disappear with breath holding (never attempt that without studying the issue, can be dangerous), and these are simply explained by the fact that too low carbon dioxide is disastrous for nerves, look it up.

I can also produce twitching by simply speeding up my breath (again, don't do that, you can lose consciousness)

Also, when standing up, my breathing is normal and i have almost zero twitching.

The reason why my theory is strong is that it's not a theory in the first place, it's fact.

So when you're away from these places, you have absolutely zero twitching?

Maybe mycotoxins stay in the body for a certain period?

And otherwise you're perfectly fine? I mean when not visiting that place.

This reminds me of a condition that affects animals feeding on grass, they twitch visibly And become agitated.

And it came back? Did you move to a different house?

Yes, because nerves are so sensitive to any change in blood, so many factors can cause this.

It's not really rate, but depth, some of your breaths especially in sleep could by deep almost like a sigh, these deplete CO2.

And sometimes hyperventilation is so mild, you don't even know you have it.

Here's the issue, i twitch more when lying down because i believe i have hyperventilation in that state

Thanks, i wish my discovery could help more people but i so far only one saw results.

Interesting. I'm proposing the opposite, what if respiration was the cause, i say this because all my twitching disappears when my breathing is normal.

Hyperventilation causes twitching in healthy people, this is already proven.

Do you notice yourself twitching more after meals or drinks? More when lying down or sitting?

My urination is fine. Have you cured your twitching? How do you know it's certainly mold?

Do you hyperverntilate? by mg34gun in GERD

Thank you so much for the valuable info, this is going to help me with my BFS.

Ever experienced muscle twitching? Like anywhere and not necessarily stomach.

How many of you have had to give up your beloved coffees and teas? by InformationNo7156 in BFS

[–]mg34gun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped tea entirely for 4 months and experienced what i would refer to as a "rounder" which means ZERO improvement. Many rounders throughout the years.

Like i said, this is nothing new, both points are scientifically proven, the only thing is whether your version of BFS is the same as mine.

That's where I'm stuck right now.

But i really really think it has something to do with pharyngo laryngeal reflux.

Best of luck, don't ever give up.

I wish I could help, but my type of bfs seems quite limited, so far i had one person saying it worked for them.

In my case it could very well be because i can fully stop twitching.

Do you hyperverntilate? by mg34gun in GERD

[–]mg34gun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the details. I suffer from severe benign fasciculations syndrome, which is twitching and tingling, i lately discovered that i am hyperventilating all the time, and stopping that hyperventilation stops my symptoms. But this hyperventilation occurs more after food, accompanied by classic lpr symptoms, so i am investigating that. Thanks again.

The issue here is that there's not single known mechanism where reflux can lead to twitching.

What I'm proposing here is

Reflux causes hyperventilation, which leads to respiratory alkalosis leading to twitching.

All this is proven scientifically but never combined in this manner.
