Back in 1998 to about 2002 I had straight up bad anxiety. I had a few panic attacks and went to the ER about 10 times. It was very bad. This is when I was introduced to Ativan. During this time I do not really remember what I ate but I am guessing it was very carb heavy. Cereal for breakfast etc.
Around 2002 all the low carb diets came out and I rather changed the way I was eating. Breakfast was mostly eggs and instead of a whole bagel it would be 1/2 of one. Lunch would be a tuna wrap and dinner changed to protein and veggies. No pasta or rice or potatoes. I would say I went from about 150gs of carbs to about 50 to 75gs. Slowly and not really noticing panic and anxiety subsided. Not saying I didn't have moments of them but never really went back to the ER for them. Recently I decided to try a high carb diet. Mostly vegetarian. I went from about 75gs of carbs to about 150gs for about 4 weeks... then this happened. - terrible insomnia, - increased heart rate, - a feeling like the shakes, - I got dizzy twice at work where I had to sit down. It was straight up torture. I realized what was happening and have dropped back over this last week. I still have some trouble sleeping but I am feeing better. I am amazed. It seems obvious to me now what was happening and how it all changed. I even wonder now if my last 10 years normal blood pressure and normal heart rate are due to the lower carb way of life. |
