Eating is an issue

[Lizzyg]

Hi
Does anyone else out there experience physical anxiety symptoms during or just after eating?

I find whilst eating I get a real tight feeling in my abdomen, then chest then the hyperventilating starts then the flutters cause then I am all anxious and don't know whether my body will allow me to finish my meal.

It is really frustrating as when not in a cycle of anxiety I love my food.

Any tips pleeeease??

Is it your blood sugar swinging about? Are you eating sugary or other low GI foods. Might be blood sugar peaks and troughs affecting your mood. I get REALLY cranky and edgy if my blood sugar drops.

I went right off food for the first four weeks of my current downer but was taking Citalopram, Diazepam and Zopiclone, all of which make you feel a bit off food. Are you using any meds atm?
