I am just wondering if you have been taking lions mane because some people are getting those symptoms from it. My daughter in particular got the heart palpitations and panic waking after taking it. They checked her heart and nothing was wrong. Just checking as it’s touted as good for brain health and in many supplements at the moment. (Even if smoothies and hot drinks).

I have eaten lions mane mushrooms in the past; but, not recently. I will dig around a bit to see if there are known side effects of the mushroom. We struggled with preparation of lions mane. Linda tried sautéing them as a side dish and adding them to vegetable dishes. Neither one worked very well.

If you look at lions mane recovery on reddit lots of folks get palpitations/panic attacks/insomnia etc.

I hope your mri goes well- and you’re supplied with lots of warm blankets and headphones to dampen the machine noise.

Trust the docs will be looking at your imaging straightaway!
