Under treatment for anxiety disorder, getting panic attacks. Can excessive caffine intake be the reason?
human
Hello Sir, I am under treatment for anxiety disorder since six months. The treatment started when I had my first panic attack. I was having no anxiety problems since then. But, today I had another panic attack. I took zapiz 0.5mg after that. I'm still not feeling well. When I looked up on net, I saw excessive caffine could trigger panic attacks and I had too much of coffee the previous day. Could that be the reason for my attack? I'm mainly having suffocation and stomuch discomfirt. Could you please guide me how to relieve myself from this? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for using healthc are magic. Yes, excessive caffine intake is associated with increased frequency of panic attack so you should avoid caffinated food like tea, coffee, cold drinks. Clonazepam is mainly an anti anxiety drug but chances of addiction are increased. You should consult the qualified psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and treatment. You may be benefitted by anti depressant drugs having anti-anxiety proerties like peroxetine. you should also do breathing exercise and meditation for better control. I hope you will be fine soon. thanks
