I’ve been feeling so good and then yesterday I woke up with a fast heart pulse and today it happened again at 4AM. I was so close to going into panick and considering going to the hospital but I pushed through it, fell back asleep and feel back to normal now. This is a new thing for me and navigating it can be stressful. I don’t want to go on meds. I have gone to ER twice and doctors once. First time I went I called 911. It seems like it was a panick attack. This was 9 months ago. I was fine for many many months and then out of nowhere those panic symptoms came back but hasn’t left for a month! Before it was panic attacks for a few minutes then life back to normal. But now it’s been on and off for a month.

I’m hoping someone has beat anxiety without meds and can share or if they’ve had a similar experience.

I have lost over 60lbs twice. I know. Not good. I’ve had a problem with food my whole life. Binge eating and restrict cycle. I’d go cold turkey. eat very healthy, lift weight, stairmaster then go completely off track. With diet AND exercise.
Now it’s starting to get harder to even start.
I’m on day 3 of no UPF or refined sugar. Only Whole Foods. And woke up with an increased heart rate and have been having headaches for two days now.

Are those typical normal symptoms when cutting off food? Before when I’d cut off the junk 1st day was only hard then a breeze. This time around symptoms have been hard.
Has it been harder on you when trying to loose weight after gaining it back?

I’d also like to share that I’ve been wanting to get back on track but I also developed physical anxiety and think the root cause is my diet.
I think in the back of my mind I know how much harm I’m doing by living such and unhealthy lifestyle.
