Tea causing panic attacks?

[MissSunshine]

Hiya all. I think I may be sensitive to caffeine.

My last bad panic attack I had was a couple of weeks ago, and it happend after drinking a cup of tea.

This morning I had a cup of tea (the first since 2 weeks ago) and about 10 minutes after drinking it I couldnt breathe, felt shaky heart pounding - full blown panic attack.

I use pg tips. Its like all of a sudden I am so sensitive to caffeine and I dont know why!!
Can it be the tea? Does tea set you off?

Anyone else sensitive to caffeine?

I stopped drinking tea ages ago because it gives me palpitations. I think that we are so sensitive to things that it's best to stay off tea for a while.

I agree I think I will stop drinking it, I feel like crap and I didnt even drink a full cup! so not worth it xx

Mistletoe tea sounds so christmassy! I have camomile for my ibs in the cupboard, had it once but hate the taste lol xx

Try caffeine free, PG Tips and Tetley do them, and they taste pretty much the same as the normal stuff

[MissSunshine]

thanks for the tip will try that x

I take mistletoe because it's supposed to be good for palpitations.
