Well, anxiety spiked today. It's since gone down, but, I had some soda ( half a large from wendys ) and it caused my heart rate to go to 109, can that happen? ): I haven't had more than a half a glass of anything with sugar in it in 3 months since getting my heart palpitations.. it was definitely a wth moment...

Yes, especially not having soda for 3 months, it can definitely raise your heart rate, and in turn cause anxiety cause of this. It isn't just the sugar but the caffeine will do this too, if you are not used to caffeine. I would lay off the soda, or drink diet soda if you want one, even though that has caffeine in it too I guess LOL. Well they do have sugar free caffeine free soda I guess. LOL

Yes, ma'am! I can't drink pop of any kind. Well that's a lie. Diet Sprite is caffeine/sugar free. Or caffeine free diet coke. That kind of thing.

I had sprite, no caffeine, that's why I'm thinking it was just wayyyyyyy too much sugar.

Oh okay, caffeine wasn't the culprit then :) Sugar can for sure do it.

Yes! So normal. Soda's are loaded with sugar. This happens to me even when I have a non-caffeinated soda. It's just that glucose hitting the blood stream and spiking your HR. Perfectly normal.

OH yes it gets me as well. .Most of the time I drink diet caffeine free.. but wendys dont have caffeine free.. so sometimes when Im out to eat I get diet but with caffeine and I sure know it when I do!!!!!

You all make me feel so much better! As my heart is what started all my anxiety and what not, I'm very tuned to the my heart beat now and get paranoid if it even goes a little high!
