I am tempted to say "that's easy" - as I have the same problems myself. If you are an anxious person you can get into a state where any change in your body or indeed your immediate environment can tip you into panic. Your brain is in a hyper-alert condition, looking out for danger. So if your heart rate suddenly increases (caffeine) or your blood sugar changes (in either direction - I used to get panic attacks when mine dropped and had to always carry a banana or something) your subconscious reaction is fight-or-flight - more adrenaline, more panic, vicious circle. The same happens quite commonly with daft things like supermarket lighting, strange acoustics, feeling trapped in any way.

The solution is to understand the triggers. It takes a while and a lot of hard work but in the end you will be able to say calmly to yourself "oh, it's only the coke/coffee/tea/lighting/you're a bit stressed" etc and just carry on. I also have to contend with depersonalisation attacks when I'm not sure I'm really there, and I have to be quite stern with myself, explaining to myself that it will pass, it won't hurt...

Mine all started with menopause and hot flushes, which I simply couldn't cope with.

You might not believe all this, but do try!

I would make a bet you are highly sensitive to refined Sugar in your diet. You are describing typical symptoms that my son went through. You may want to see if you have other food allergies too. BTW, the only way you can check if you have a food allergy is to stop eating it for a time to see how it effects you.

Most of what effects our health we put through our digestive system.

Hope it helps!

I also have generalised anxiety disorder and food intolerances triggering IBS.

I discovered when I did the full FODMAP diet for an extended period that my anxiety levels dropped significantly, and that certain foods definitely trigger a panic response. For me, garlic is the main culprit.

I agree with Sue73 about the body being in fight or flight mode, and if it is constantly trying to battle intolerance/IBS its using up all its fight.

Mind you, I still have GAD which I take medication for, and try to avoid garlic and other food triggers, I still have IBS symptoms just not nearly as badly. They feed off each other but they aren't the cause of each other.

This reaction you describe is a classic caffeine reaction. You may also be allergic to sugar or some ingredient in the drink. The only way to know for sure is avoid it for 5 days (time to clear system), then try a tiny amount and record symptoms over a few day period. (you can neutralize a bad reaction by taking buffered "C" powder or alka selzer gold in water, then getting in fresh air and doing gentle exercise. It will pass!) I have many food sensitivities and if I eat something I am allergic or sensitive to, I get reactions like you described. I avoid the things that bother me and I feel better.

Hi all - thanks for your feedback and for posting about your own experiences here.

Good news to announce, in the past few months I set myself a pretty strict goal of eliminating this 'reaction' and these issues completely. I had a rather unique combination of issues which worked against me to make daily life nearly impossible. So, I am incredibly pleased to announce that I am managing all of these symptoms for over a month, and have pretty much eliminated all issues.

**In case anyone might find this useful, here are the steps I took:

**

1) Tests with endocrinologist

• Thought this was a good place to start as my reactions to food tend to be from either sugary drinks or foods, or post exercise. So it seemed obvious that blood sugar was an issue.
• They ran blood tests, and diagnosed me with reactive hypoglycemia.

**2) Managing existing GERD condition **

• I suffer from GERD (caused by excess stomach acid) and I had stopped taking Omeprazole stomach acid suppressers for a while. I had noticed a significant reduction in my symptoms, especially reflex-induced panic attacks, since taking it again. Ongoing I try and manage stress as much as possible with yoga / swimming.

3) Lifestyle /diet changes

• I discovered caffeine was the trigger for my panic attacks and anxiety, and reducing caffeine completely meant that I also reduced panic attacks to zero.
• The panic attacks were from a combination of being very low on blood sugar, and having a reaction to caffeine. I noticed they would increase in frequency pretty much soon after I consumed a tea or coffee, but I could reduce the effects immediately if I drank something sugary. My body was being sent into fight or flight mode!

5) Bio-hacking

• I have a relatively stressful job and work in London so giving up caffeine has not been easy. However, I did a lot of research and found a 'caffeine replacement' which works for me, called Rhodiola Rosea. It gives me a clear, focussed buzz and does not affect my GERD or blood sugar, which is a bonus!

Like I said, I had a pretty unique series of issues which had compounded to make the problem completely unmanageable. I found journaling helped me break it down into chunks would I could focus on and resolve. Feels genuinely great to feel myself again.

All the best to everyone.
