Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 I have a new patient who is anxious and has atrial fibrillation. The most aberrant feature of her assessment is an alpha of 40% at FZ. this is more than twice as much as F3 or F4. I can't quite see the relevance to anxiety, but I reason that if it is that out of the ordinary, it probably would be good to have less of it. Can excess alpha be a sign of anxiety? She is worried about the AF naturally but has a long history of shyness and Social anxiety. Any ideas would be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 whenyou say that he anticipates - do yo mean that he is ruminating on I would use an Fp1 Mc2 as the very last thing youdo for him each session this is easy to see if the betas are all high or you could just ask him i had someone say to me last night what do you mean ruminate doesn't everyone??!!!!! She had no idea there was a such thing as a blank mind!!!! LOL Also I had a woman who came in that didn't have crazy high betas but she had a back problem (genetic) and she would ruminate about having pain and then the spasm would take place because she woudl ruminate and get upset about it etc. the Fp1 MC2 was a blessing for her. She went to Africa on safari and she never had a problem (I got a bouquet of flowers from her when she got back! Both her and her husband were very happy with NFB) This was two years ago and I just saw her in the mall with her grandson over christmas and she is still doing great without rumination-woohoo. So to make this ridiculously long story short just ask your client!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
