l methylfolate and trouble breathing

[dead.money]

Anyone know why this could be happening and how to counteract it? Folate is the only thing that gives me energy and takes care of my anxiety and depression. I need to be on it, but I feel like breathing takes a lot of effort sometimes like the muscles to breathe are weak or something. I've suspected low potassium. I take a tablespoon of K gluconate at night but haven't noticed an improvement.

Btw it's not an allergic reaction and I'm taking it as part of a low dose methylated b complex.

Idk, Methylfolate can cause overmethylators issues, if taken in high dosages (5mg+) which is not the case with you.

How do you know that its the methylfolate causing this, when you take it in conjunction with a B-Complex?

I had just that and I suspect it is from increased acidity and called it "pre-acidosis" state. Wht helped me was sodium bicarbonate foot baths and magnesium oxide orally.

It can also be thiamine deficiency induced by folate. If you are going to supplement extra thiamine, start low (10mg?) with small amounts of potassium (50mg?) and titrate both up slowly observing your reaction.
