Hey! 

&amp;#x200B;

I read recently that a vegetarian/vegan diet can cause ppl who are already susceptible to anxiety have worse anxiety than a diet that includes meat. 

&amp;#x200B;

I have been on a lacto-ovo (vegetarian diet that includes dairy) for about 3 weeks now. And today, for the first time in a really, *reallllyyyyy,* long time I have had ***multiple*** panic attacks. Seriously, I was driving to a doc appt this afternoon and all of a sudden, my vision started getting black spots, heart rate jumped up, starting getting that just overwhelming feeling of impending doom... it was so bad that I had to pull over and collect myself. 

&amp;#x200B;

Then, tonight, myself and my 3 yr old went to play putt putt, and suddenly - all over again - sweating from head to toe, feeling like I couldn't breathe, feeling like I was about to pass out. 

&amp;#x200B;

And lastly, now, after getting home, it started up **again.** Not nearly as bad as the two times before. And dunking my face in ice cold water really helped. But what the hell???? 

&amp;#x200B;

The only thing that has changed is my diet. 

&amp;#x200B;

Any help is good help

\*\*\*\* I do want to say - please don't mention going to the doctor or heart attacks or anything like that. I'm already freaked out enough as it is. I'm 26, no family history of serious heart probs, and I had an EKG done a couple months ago and it came back completely normal
