Anxiety/Panic attack symptoms during and after food

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello everyone, I realized this started almost half a year ago..I was eating and suddenly felt that intense "doom" feeling as if something so bad gonna happen, I started to have panic attack and cried and talked on the phone for hours with people I know then, that week was horrible...anyway somehow I moved on and thought it was due to an antibiotic I used, few weeks ago I saw down to eat with a friend and same feeling appeared I felt horrible and acted like everything is normal but an immense doom is coming feeling was taking over and I instantly lost my apetite even 😦 I kinda managed the symptoms better for the second time but these days I realize I feel extra bad at times while eating or before bowel movements 😦 I am suspecting that I have IBS and Gerd but It is so difficult to handle these moments as they feel so real and i dont know if any of you having similar problems while eating 😦

    Hi,

    As a replied in the other post I do get this occasionally and I actually did have a bad period with that a few years ago but that seems to have improved quite a lot now.

    Just out of curiosity, which antibiotic did you take? I ask because I had a truly terrible experience with an antibiotic some years ago and most of my bowel issues did start after that.
