I "supposedly" suffer from anxiety and panic disorder but until just a few weeks ago I didn't have nausea in my long list of symptoms (fast and sense of an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, bloated stomach, diarrhea, dizziness, etc.). For your information, over these 7 years of anti-depressants and anxiolytics I've gained a lot of weight because I ate LOADS of sugary and fatty food (cakes, chocolates, french fries, like 4 croissants in a day, plus a whole pack of chocolate cookies and so on). So I decided to start a hypocaloric diet with aerobic exercice three weeks ago in order to lose weight. I've lost about 5 kg (11 lbs) so far. If I intended to keep my (over)weight I should ingest approximately 2500 kcal/day but I'm ingesting now just about 1200 kcal/day. I eat whole-wheat bread or toasts, low-fat dairy products, fruits, a lot of vegetables, meat (only chicken and turkey, both grilled), fish and I have cut on potatoes, pasta and rice. Could this diet be the cause of these nausea? Am I risking my health - even my life, doing this? Should I go back to my sugary and fatty diet?
Notes: I had stopped taking Prozac by my own will in April this year. Anxiety symptoms and crisis (or panic attacks) started coming progressively back and stronger since then. Yesterday I resumed the pills on my GP's advice. I told him about the diet and nausea I am feeling but he didn't give me a definitive and clear answer, nor did he prescribe me any exam, he just blamed it on my diet and anxiety. I DO NOT BELIEVE HIM, and I fear this is due to cardiac arrhytmias, hence why I am seeking advice from people who, like me, have gone or are going trough this hell.
