Whiplash but no accidents

[Lextgrim]

I have been experiencing sinus tachycardia and high blood pressure with no found cause, with this I have had neurological symptoms including pins and needles in arms and legs, slight numbness in my face, unequal pupils (which could be something to do with my beta blockers as that started as soon as I went on beta blockers).  I had all the bloods you can think of done ruling out every imaginable cause.  However, I had an x ray of the neck and spine today and was told that I have whiplash symptoms, the muscles in the back of my neck are all in spasm, the ones leading to my shoulders and one which is very tight is the one that travels up the back of the neck to the head.

I have had severe anxiety and stress and they are blaming that for the constant sustained sinus tachy which doesn't even calm down when I do relaxation exercises.  

I spoke to a holistic medicine practitioner who said that the muscles may be the cause of the tachy if they are trapping nerves in the back of the neck.  Is this possible?

Lextgrim,
I would provide some articles for you, but I've found the moderators remove the url's for sources, whenever listed.
I usually do like to provide references to back up the assertions I make.

In my quest for information about Lyme Disease, I've found that many people have problems with twitching and muscle spasms.  The Lyme bacteria use up the magnesium within our cells, as they need it to live and reproduce.  
When magnesium in the cells is depleted, it causes havoc, as all the enzyme processes need it.

Physicians have found that magnesium given intravenously will stop cardiac irregularities.  They sometimes prescribe intermuscular injections also.
But if you want to try it yourself, you can take oral supplements.

Have you had a chance to do a search for information regarding anxiety and magnesium?  I think you'll be surprised at the connection.

I hope this helps.

Are you taking magnesium supplements?
Low magnesium can cause muscle spasms, cardiac irregularities, and anxiety.
You can do an internet search for lots of information.

Wishing you the best,
Carol
