You are not alone. My body also has a love/hate relationship with HCL. Its
really hard to figure because if I take it and don't need it I feel like
someone poured acid into my stomach (no pun intended). Makes it the last thing
I try because I don't want to deal with that situation.

I never thought I'd see ANYone else describe the same exact symptoms I get
when I need HCL! It's the weirdest thing, and I don't even remember how it
first dawned on me that HCL was clearing up the 'want to cry' feeling that came
out of nowhere.
I then start taking it regularly with meals and after "so many" days, I end
up with acid symptoms elsewhere (like sciatica, for one) and have to stop the
HCL and use a bit of bicarb for a couple of days.
Before long, the whole merry-go-round starts all over again.
Thank you for putting this here, Melly, it keeps me from going over the edge
with the feeling that my body is the weirdest one ever born!

Another possibility is low in HCL. As we age, we can be pretty low in
HCL. The symptoms of this one, makes you think you will die soon from heart
attack, depression with no explanation - just like as if your whole mind and
body is so very sad you want to cry, can't get up in the morning, jittery,
cold, can't breathe, headaches, etc. I underwent all this and went to MD and
he gave me antacid which made it really far worse. I mentioned it casually to
my chiro, and he handed me Nutri-west product called Hydra-D. In half an hour
i was renewed and fully recovered. He advised me not to take high doses of
HCL otherwise body will get "lazy" in producing it.
Hope he fully recovers.
