This is where as a scientist and anxiety specialist, I help\nyou cut through the noise, myths, and popular claims\u2026 and show you the simple science\nof what really works to stop your panic attacks fast, for good.<\/p><br \/><p>Now, caffeine can definitely trigger panic\nattacks in some people, but there is a counterintuitive twist. I\u2019ll share this twist with you in just a\nmoment \u2014 but first, let me answer your question. Caffeine can create all kinds of body sensations\nthat can resemble a panic attack. It can cause heart palpitations, tremors, anxiety, and\nnausea \u2014 and if someone is scared of those sensations, then caffeine can trigger a panic attack for them.<\/p><br \/><p>This is actually quite common in moderate to high doses of caffeine. For example, in a 2015 study\u2026 nearly half\nof everyone who\u2019d been diagnosed as having &#39;panic disorder&#39; had a panic attack after\nbeing given 400mg of caffeine in one serving. When they were given the placebo, none of them had a panic attack. Now 400mg is quite a lot caffeine to have\nin one serving, so we\u2019re talking about higher doses than most of us would have at any one moment in time. It\u2019s about 4-6 cups of instant coffee Or 2-3 cups of drip coffee. It\u2019s 5 red bulls.<\/p><br \/><p>Or 13 cans of coke. Now, again, that\u2019s a lot of caffeine\u2026\nand I don\u2019t know how much you consume, but if you have a lot, or if you think you\u2019re\nmore sensitive to caffeine than normal\u2026 then it\u2019s probably worthwhile cutting back\nor eliminating caffeine for a while to see if that makes any difference for you. So\u2026 what\u2019s the counterintuitive twist\nI mentioned earlier? Well, believe it or not\u2026 while caffeine\ncan trigger panic attacks in some people, it has also been used to \u201ccure\u201d panic\nattacks in others.<\/p><br \/><p><img src='https:\/\/images.pexels.com\/photos\/4506108\/pexels-photo-4506108.jpeg?auto=compress&#038;cs=tinysrgb&#038;h=650&#038;w=940'\/><\/p><p>How is this possible? It\u2019s possible because caffeine can\u2019t DIRECTLY trigger a panic attack. All it can do is create some panic-like body sensations \u2014 and it\u2019s only if your brain mistakenly misinterprets those sensations as being dangerous\u2026 that a panic attack can result. This is why, in the past, what some researchers have done, is they\u2019ve used high-dose caffeine to deliberately induce panic-like symptoms\u2026 so that people with panic attacks can practice not being scared of them. Because if you\u2019re not scared the sensations that caffeine can induce, then it won\u2019t be able to trigger a panic attack. Now, I definitely DON\u2019T recommend this approach, especially at home without medical supervision\u2026 and I\u2019d never ever use it myself with any\nclients because it\u2019s not particularly effective\u2026 it only works with a limited number of people\u2026 and I can show you far faster, far more effective, and far more gentle ways of quickly becoming panic-free for good.<\/p><br \/><p>The only reason I mention it here, is just\nto give you the full picture. Again Caffeine doesn\u2019t directly cause panic attacks. Instead, it\u2019s your response to the sensations that caffeine can create, that can trigger a panic attack or not. However, if you consume a lot of caffeine,\nor if you think you\u2019re more sensitive to it than normal\u2026 then it\u2019s probably worthwhile to try cutting back or eliminating caffeine for a while, to see if that makes any difference for you. Now, if you\u2019re wondering\u2026 what\u2019s the\nbest way to naturally stop your panic attacks fast so you never have to endure another\none again\u2026 even if you drink a lot of coffee?
