Hi Guys,
Recently just joined and loving the fact everyone is so friendly and supportive.
Recently my panic attacks have had a flare up. Background is that I recently had a bad case of the flu / sickness bug, this bought on one of the worst I have had! The thought of being sick bought it on I am sure, now it's trying to get rid of them!
I am not eating normal, recently given up smoking, lost almost 10 pounds in the last week. Oh and almost cut out drinking coca cola. Now my thought with this, is that too much too quick?
I had a panic attack this morning at work which would not go away. However I came back to my office and had a small amount of coca cola, low and behold the panic attack seemed to go! Could this possibly have something to do with low sugars? I finished the bottle (small one) over the course of today and it has been fine, no bad thoughts or panic!
I still have a slightly racing heart rate but pretty sure this is down to the panic attacks this morning, it always takes a while to steady down again. My BP last night was also slightly up but again guessing this is down to going through a bad time at the moment.
My wife is really supportive and loving but she has never experienced what I am feeling, so cannot really help me. Wondering if anyone out there has any ideas?
Thanks
Chris
