What foods affect Panic?
I have cut out caeffine, and drastically cut down my alcohol consumption. I had switched to decaf tea and coffee, but have now cut these out as well, as I found I still had palipiations/panicky feelings after drinking them. Someone told me that de-caf coffee has other chemicals which act as stimulants.
I have also cut out chocolate. This is a great personal loss (!) as it was one of my "treat" foods which I used to eat about once a week. However I had bouts of palpitations and panic one night after eating half a bar, so now I daren't risk it. As usual, it is difficult to separate a real effect from a psycological one!
