AnalysisHere we do not see the theme of bitterness all that strongly but we do see the theme of taking care. There is also the typical Cochlearia feeling of it all being too much, not being able to cope. The keynote of pain in the stomach has moved to pain in the chest in this case but it is radiating to sides and back.
Cochlearia made the hyperventilation disappear, it increased her energy and she was able to cope much better.
Other remedies which have helped her were: Uva ursi,
Calcium sulphuricum and Naja.
