Wow! This is getting very interesting! You brought up the sugar stuff and I have noticed that if I overindulge in sugar as well that I get very dizzy-nauseous-and my heart races too! I normally try to avoid it-just *coincidentally*. When I say "overindulge"-we are talking about two or three pieces of cake and two scoops of ice cream. I have thought for along time that all my troubles with moodswings-panic-ADD were all related to a *neuro-endocrine* thing that nobody has had time to unravel just yet.
Hope this helps anyone out there.
Here is another little tidbit of info-my Mom not only had nocturnal epilepsy but had thyroid tumor-then thyroid cancer. Last year I had my thyroid tumor and half my thyroid was surgically removed-the same age my Mom had the surgery!....go figure..again.> I am eternally grateful to you guys for sharing this info and the links. Just last night I had ONE drink and felt ok, but when it was wearing off I had that little aura of a panic attack getting ready to sweep over me. I was about to eat dinner and felt that I couldn't eat and that I was going to fall apart. Somehow I became engaged in conversation, ate my dinner and felt fine. I've also noticed that I have a binge eating pattern that I am working on changing. But when I go on a "bender" of eating sugary junk all day like an addict, I am most vulnerable to panic attacks that evening. When I eat like a normal person, I am much more stable. All very interesting stuff. I haven't looked at the link yet but I really, really will now. ;o)
