 Biggest Aggravators of the Panic/Anxiety Condition that cause panic attacks in some people: (1) Caffeine Found in COFFEE, TEAS, SODAS such as colas, rootbeers, and other flavors. Best to check labels! Also, caffeine is found in dark CHOCOLATE, so best to cut back on that also. Remember to go off of caffeine slowly to avoid withdrawal. You will be pleasantly surprised at the tremendous difference you will feel when you eliminate caffeine from your body. THE EFFECTS OF CAFFEINE ARE AS FOLLOWS: Anxiety Nervousness Insomnia Irritability Racing Heart Irregular Heartbeats CAFFEINE AGGRAVATES THE FOLLOWING: Gastritis Insomnia Menopause Symptoms Hypertension SUGGESTIONS: Try slowly mixing decaffeinated products with your caffeinated ones. Remove a little more each time, until you've eliminated all the caffeine. Many decaf brands are quite tasty, and there are many herbal products that can be fun to experiment with too. The results of less caffeine can be so profound, and will help you move past this condition in a speedier fashion! (2) Sugar Stimulant in itself. When feeling sensitized it's best to cut way back on your sugar intake. You'll find you move forward and past anxiety much faster when you don't exacerbate the situation with too much sugar intake. Sugary foods can give you a temporary high but a quick crash follows. TOO MUCH SUGAR INTAKE CAUSES: Nervous Tension Irritability Anxiety Jittery Feeling OTHER NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SUGAR: Tooth Decay Gum Disease Depletion of B complex vitamins Rise of Candida in system SUGGESTIONS: Try getting back to nature and see how delicious fruits can be. They're sweet and delicious. After a while you will notice that foods even lightly sugared taste overly sweet when you've been without it for a while. Sugar masks the taste of foods and you may be pleasantly surprised to experience how naturally good your food tastes without the veil of sugar. (3) Alcohol Alcoholic beverages are not a cure for anxiety disorders and some people have been known to self-medicate with a drink. In the long run the effects of alcohol have been proven to be more detrimental than helpful with this condition.
