Hi Johnnie, nice to hear from you. As for the problem you are having when
drinking soda, I use to get the same symptoms. The carbonation was the problem
for me. The gas bubbles that the soda produced would make my heart skip beats
allowing me to get scared and then it would start beating fast. At one time, the
doctor had put me on a high fiber drink called Metamucil which ironically caused
the same problem. It's nothing serious. I hope your job is going well and you
are enjoying the summer. Take care, Agora1 xx
The carbonation like Agora1 mentioned sounds very interesting and possible. Another thing i’d like to add is, I often have this problem with caffeinated beverages. If I avoid sodas with caffeine I seem to be fine. Most lemon-lime sodas are caffeine free so if they still cause this problem then, I would lean towards Agora’s suggestion. Still nothing serious, just caffeine exacerbating my anxiety symptoms.
I'm trying to Stop drinking sodas, I get cravings sometimes, Pepsi is my weakness. Trying to drink more water, SO boring through.
Caffeine. I'm usually pretty caffeine tolerant and I had a panic attack from palpitations last night. Drank some water, did my usual anxiety reduction practices, and allowed the feelings to come and go. Nicotine, alcohol, and caffeine are usual suspects.
