How To Calm Down The Nervous System ?

[Motif]

Especially after stretching my nervous system goes nuts and I feel restless, fidgety and agitated, but I need to stretch cause everything is chronically tight on me.

But even without stretching it is bad often. What could I do?

More magnesium ? Conscious ius breathing

 

[Uselis]

Take a hour long walk. If not up for that relaxed bag breathing.

Are your muscles or connective tissue or both are chronically tight?

The tightness in the muscle can be consistent with pre rigor mortis. So getting the cell out of an excitotoxic state and increasing the amount of CO2 production ( and therefore oxygen consumption) would be where I would start.

I take 350-500 mg daily with supplements. You think this could be not enough ?

Not sure what exactly, but it’s stressing me for 20 years now. Started when I was 15.

Advices how to did this?

It depends on the type maybe? Also other supplements to help?

There's a magnesium bicarbonate water recipe on YouTube

Agree with @Recoen's suggestion to increase CO2. I find the usual Peaty methods of raising CO2 to be calming: bag breathing, baking soda, high dietary intake of calcium or salt, the occasional dose of B1. (If other methods fail, acetazolamide might also be worth researching.)

I tend to underestimate the effectiveness of bag breathing. Sometimes I think it didn't help, but then notice 10-20 minutes later that my adrenergic symptoms are milder.

I find box breathing really helpful. theanine helps too.

In addition to agreeing with @Recoen and @Creative Nature about the benefits of CO2 here qnd ways to increase it, I recall @haidut saying that stretching, especially belly stretching, may raise serotinin due to increase in LPS from the gut. So I'd take something anti-serotogenic right after streching.
In genral, I think a glass of OJ before and after could be helpful, especially with baking soda added to it.

Lower calcium intake and increased magnesium intake.

How much mag would you say?

How much mag would you say?

Increase to bowel tolerance. If you get diarrhea or loose stools, back up a little on the dosage.
Spacing the doses across the day is helpful.
Really depends on the individual and the stress they under (physical or mental).
Up to 10mg/kg of BW I‘d say.

Since sweating a lot from working out this issue is on a whole another level for me unfortunately.
