DIET and panic attack

Does diet have any effect on panic attacks and their frequency ?

for me makes huge difference ,how about you ~the worse the diet more the attacks and more intense ,very quick to judge but lets see next few months .will keep you all updated.

thanks for your support

Just my personal experience here, but yeah, indirectly, and sometimes even directly.

Obviously stuff with caffeine in it can be a trigger. So can alcohol.

Many of us with anxiety/panic also have GERD so if we eat foods that trigger reflux it can then lead to triggering a panic attack.

Some foods, (for me anyway) just make me feel blah and heavy and lethargic. When I feel that way and cannot seem to gain energy, I can get edgy because I can't move like I want to, then my mind starts to wander.

Also, things like being dehydrated or low blood sugar....we can get headaches, dizzy,....these can add to the triggers.

So yep. I'd say there's a correlation.

You may want to consider just eliminating *simple* carbs (like sugar, white bread/pasta/flour etc.) and still eat whole grains and veggies (complex carbs). The fiber they offer is helpful to us.

You're right though, several small meals per day (grazing), balanced eating, hydration, and exercise which improves motility (digestive, blood flow, lymph)....very helpful.

We can't shelter ourselves from stressful events. Nor should we. They are part of life in general. Instead, learning to cope and manage these stressors is what empowers us! :)

agree with both Scaredy Cat & Merrida

if diet is not proper or condition of diet is unfit to your body
your body will not have minerals or vitamins that actually your body need . i fully agree with my experience everyone is unique body type if your body became weak obvious panick attack come. its vice versa effect physical to mental in my opinion.
