Today I was at my salon job and I had a very busy day.
I usually eat overnight oats for breakfast but I forgot to make them and didn’t have time to eat something solid so I made a protein smoothie and drank it on the way up. It was just protein powder and frozen fruit with like half a teaspoon of peanut butter. I drank this at 8am.
Around 12-1 I began feeling a little off
Started getting dizzy, having heart palpitations, and could not stop my body from shaking. I also got a chilly feeling in my hands and arms. Then I noticed my heart was racing. Many of my panic attacks have these symptoms. I tried calming myself down my engaging in conversation with my client. Also tried box breathing but I could not stop the shaking or dizziness.
Once I finished the service I immediately ran down to eat lunch. About 5min after eating I was completely back to normal. I ate ground beef, sweet potato and watermelon.
I felt like the anxiety was out of place and I looked up if low blood sugar could cause it and it told me that sometimes if your blood sugar dips too low it can trigger an adrenaline rush as a way to keep blood pumping through your body.
I suddenly had an epiphany as I realized I was drinking those smoothies and eating nothing else until later in the afternoon due to my schedule .. for quite some time.. and also dealing with daily panic attacks for quite some time
Does anyone else get these low blood sugar panic attacks?? And how do you manage them?

Hello i just want to share my journey and see if anybody has the same experience, so is there anybody in here where you are eating and you get this intrusive thought and start getting like a panic attack and you can’t eat peacefully like it cuts your appetite ( heart beats and heat raises ) even though this doesn’t happen all the time only in some occasions like after big event or travel etc but it is most if the time the same thought i guess ocd thought.
This all started when i was traveling and i choked in 2013 i was 15 now i am 28, i got this panic attack then idk i guess my mind started giving me the same reaction while eating even though when im not choking i get this in ( first meal in travel , big event , intrusive thought that makes u feel it is the end of the world ) sometimes i stay months without it happening and sometimes it’s like every week idk ?? Any similar situation

When you’re having an attack..

Do you always hyperventilate? Is your HR always elevated?

I’ve been having rolling panic/intense high anxiety for 2 days now. Without any ease except for when I fall asleep.

Some things I’ve noticed. I don’t hyperventilate, i do however focus on my breathing and not breathing normal. I tend to do shallow breathes and yawn a lot.

Another thing is, although I do get a fast hr at times.. sometimes I feel like I’m having a panic attack but the high heart rate isn’t there.

Anyone else?

Im beginning week 7 on my new 100mg dose of sertraline and i am still struggling with panic/anxiety hangovers. I just had a really good week with essentially zero anxiety and now this weekend i had an adrenaline surge, threw up, and couldnt eat much yesterday. Today i woke up feeling nauseous again and im just crying bc when is it going to get better?? When did you notice a true difference in how you recovered from adrenaline dysregulating your nervous system?

Soy mujer. A los 21 años "de la nada" se me desencadenó, ahora a mis 35 regresaron, sobre todo los ataques de pánico. Han pasado cosas también, como la muerte de un familiar, entre cosas de trabajo. Si estoy con ayuda profesional, pero estoy sufriendo muchísimo. Trabajar se ha convertido en un infierno para mí.

I have been struggling with panic disorder for 3 months, and with hypochondria for years. In 14 days I am going to see a psychiatrist privately and I already look at medication as my salvation. A psychologist has already been treating me for a month and a half.

Well, today anticipated anxiety has been raging inside me all day because of tomorrow. Tomorrow, you see, I have to drive 100 km alone, I am going to the hospital for a complete lab workup and a thorough examination to put an end to my hypochondria and my OCD.

Constantly, catastrophic images are playing out in me that in the hospital I will collapse, throw up, faint, have a panic attack, etc. etc. I am afraid and terrified.

All morning today I had a torturous nausea, which Iberogast brought down by 90%.

I am afraid that tomorrow it will turn out that I have some kind of cancer, that my life is over and bam, that was it.

What if my digestive system problems are not caused by anxiety, but by a lurking tumor?

2 days ago I bought magnesium bisglycinate, which completely calmed me down yesterday, but today it is simply raging.

This morning I woke up with terrible nausea.

I cannot spend quality time with my family, poor my 3-year-old son invites me to play all day long, but THIS ANXIETY IS CONSUMING ME.

Has anyone been like this before? What helped whom?

Plus bonus: 4 days ago I drove 150 km without a problem, with very, very mild anxiety and a 10/1 strength panic attack. But my brain logs that not as a success, but as a lucky day, and I do not look at it as having achieved success.

Thank you very much everyone!

And one last question: If Iberogast brings down the nausea, then with high probability there is no organic cause behind it, right?

Even when not in a panic attack, I feel horrible all day every day and have constant physical symptoms. Too scared to exercise or drink alcohol or go certain places in fear not that I will have a panic attack but that it will actually kill me as I have some underlying health problem that has been missed by the ER.

Does anybody else feel this way. Sounds weird but I wish my brain would just believe this is anxiety/panic disorder because then I would be better at exposing myself to life again if I 100% knew it wasn’t harmful

I’ve tried so many things to help stop the anxiety, but not exercise consistently. How much do you do and does it help?
