Hi,so my question is,can a meal start a panic attack? After i eat a big meal my hands get sweety,my hart rushes, my head goos in like an fog,can't seem to understand anything...end then i rush to take my xanax! But my biggest worry is that i'm 22 years old,i been taking xanax since i was 15 or 16, everyday,between 1mg or 3mg a day,it depends on how im feeling! I know xanax is bad but thats the only thing that helps my anxiety end depression,but now i feel the bad effects of the drug,im always tired,not motivated,i sleep a lot,my day end night cycle is in a complete mess,my memory is bad end when in sober,im in super terrible mod...i just don't know what to do,been to doctors,not much help from them...im really desperate...can someone,something suggest me what to do? :-(
I highlyyyy recommend talking to your family/guardian, whoever about seeing a therapist. Specifically one who specializes in Anxiety would be best!
I find meds are definitely helpful but they are only a short term solution for a long term problem. See a therapist helped me sooo much with my anxiety.
Also, regarding your original question - I actually have noticed sometimes when I overeat that I start to feel anxious. I’m not sure why this is, I thought maybe it was just me lol.
will do,already my family knows about my situation but they seem not understand how serious my problem is…!
But thanks for the reply,now i know that im not the only on ho gets anxious after a meal!
What’s in the meal? tons of sugar? A lot of salt? Do you have it only with certain meals or every meal?
Well the last meal i had was spaghetti with a mushroom sauce,i really can’t tell how much salt there was but it wasn’t salty…!
Ooo,end no matter what i eat…!
100% it can cause a panic attack it has for me i think for me personally the reason it does is if it over eat or eat a large meal i get bloated and it affects my diaphragm which affects my breathing and i panic i hate panic attacks ive had them for years amd years they are truly Terrifying some are stronger than others the intensity varies hydroxyzine helps take the edge off its not habit forming like xanax and that other stuff it is not a narcotic
bro its the bloating and the diaphragm causing the panic after eating ive dealt with anxiety since i was 17 im 26 now it sucks man especially health anxiety when u think something is wrong with you and your are dying
Try eating less heavy meals, and take small bites, chew longer so you don’t have to swallow big chunks, perhaps that will help a bit.
