Anxiety After Meals

[mvillarreal]

I don't understand why, after I eat, I suddenly get a surge of anxiety. Is this a symptom of some kind of underlying disorder? I will be fine, and then half an hour after eating, I will feel a sudden surge of panic.

Hi. Have you talked to a doctor or nurse about it? Perhaps you should. I don't know why that is happening.

Hi mvillarreal, there is a good article on Anxiety After Eating by the Calm Clinic.

You should be able to research it by just typing in the above. xx

Yeah. I've actually read that article before, but I don't know that it's any of those things. One thing I have read online is that it could be a sign of reactive hypoglycemia. I don't know. I wonder if a doctor would be able to figure out what's wrong.

Hi mvillarreal, I found the article quite interesting however, it's always in your best

interest to see your doctor when something continuing keeps bothering you.

I wish you well. Keep us updated, we care. xx

I get anxiety too after eating. For me i am scared of having anaphylactic shock by eating a new food or somehow getting it eating food I’ve always eaten. For me that is why I get the panic or I get scared it won’t go down all the way or I will choke.

This may be different from you but just wanted to share my experience

Oh man! I'm sorry you have that fear! That sounds scary. For me, though, it's not so much a phobia as a physiological thing.
