Does anyone feel the need to eat something when they feel a panic attack coming? This all began when i read an article about low blood sugar and as it has similar symptoms to anxiety i beleived that i needed to eat to keep myself ok. If i dont eat every 2-3 hours especially in the mornings i get terrified i am going to collapse. If im overly anxious during the night i keep on waking to eat and it always has to be brown bread and butter! When i feel the symptoms coming on my first reaction is always " i need to eat NOW!!" as soon as i eat the panic subsides. Does anyone think this may have become a habit? I have had bloods tests done at gps to cancel out any other illnesses. They all came back normal.I would be interested to hear if anyone else is like this. I dont think its comfort eating cos when i get the urge to eat it is so intense. Please help! By the way I eat healthily for my meals - its the in between times.
