Be sure before sharing: Is it true that people with panic disorder should choose – should avoid?

On social media, the article was shared. Foods for panic patients, such as 4 foods that should be avoided Because it causes symptoms to worsen and 6 foods that you should choose to eat To help reduce the occurrence of panic disorder. ?? Check with Prof. Dr. Manoch Lortrakul, Department of Psychiatry. Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital Mahidol University Overall, some parts are true. That is, avoid foods that stimulate the autonomic nervous system, such as alcohol and caffeine, that is, drinks that contain stimulants. But in the case of other foods, there has been no clear study. 1. Avoid 'caffeine' During a panic attack And while receiving treatment, it is recommended that you abstain from caffeine at all. But in many patients, symptoms improve and return to normal. You can drink caffeine if you take medicine to maintain your symptoms. There are many people who drink normally but say they are at risk as well. But you should drink coffee without caffeine. 2. Avoid 'alcohol' About alcohol If you dri nk a little a little bit relax But if you drink a lot, it's dangerous. During the period when the alcohol level falls There will be a state similar to being awake. Or for some people it's like alcohol withdrawal. While in a state of arousal, panic attacks can occur. Or being too drunk can stimulate the autonomic nervous system to overwork. 3. Avoid 'MSG' This story is not true. If there are symptoms, they are side effects for each person, such as dry mouth and dry throat, but they have nothing to do with panic. 4. Avoid 'high sugar foods' Not true. Foods high in sugar can cause fatigue. But it doesn't trigger a panic attack. Eat a "balanced" diet Eating a balanced diet is a general recommendation for good health. It does not have specific characteristics for preventing panic attacks. There is no special food. Even eating a balanced, complete diet does not prevent panic attacks. Eat foods rich in zinc. Not true. There are no studies confirming that this is effective. Eat foods rich in magnesium. T here is no study on this matter. Eat foods rich in "vitamin B" Symptoms with vitamin B Helps promote health But it does not prevent panic attacks. Eat foods that are rich in 'Omega 3 fatty acids' Not true, has no effect on preventing panic attacks. Eat foods rich in 'probiotics' Probiotics promote good health. But it does not prevent panic attacks. Overall, There is no food that can prevent panic attacks. Most of them talked about food that balances the body, reduces stress, and reduces anxiety, which are general characteristics. There are no characteristics specific to panic disorder. Serotonin and panic patients The drug group "Serotonin" doctors believe is related to panic disorder. That causes the wakefulness cycle to decrease. The amount of serotonin in food is very small compared to medicine. It's like having to eat 10 bananas a day. Anxiety about food may be related to panic attacks. It has become a promotion to be obsessed with health. This group of patients already has a tendency to go to o far. But the doctor wants you to relax and take it easy. Therefore, panic patients are asked to live their lives normally. What you have to be careful of is Don't be too hungry. Do not be too alert and IF (Intermittent Fasting) is not recommended, especially during panic attacks. But you should do whatever you want, mostly comfortably and relaxed. About food, exercise good rest These are additional characteristics only. It doesn't prevent panic attacks 100 percent, but it does reduce the risk of having the disease. In summary, the article about food and panic disorder. Shouldn't be shared further Because I thought that part was too untrue. It will be enough to focus only on caffeine and alcohol. Understanding the facts, causes, and mechanisms helps you choose prevention and corrective measures.
