Body-wise, I was feeling weird when I had a sudden burst of energy and “heart flutters” and that may already be the answer to my question as to what was ailing me or what I felt physically “bad.”
Thing is, I couldn’t tell you otherwise what was bad and why my mood dropped when my energy rose.
It may be that, when I get energy, I feel angst or anguish over realizing the state of things as my mind becomes clear or perhaps I’m feeling my own body or lack of depersonalization for the first time (it’s happened multiple times but you know what I mean).
I don’t want to be unscientific so I thought I’d ask others here with the hopes that someone will have the valid answer (of course, I’m using Google or Bing so it’s not like I’m just relying on the opinion of random people, though maybe the search results aren’t that good either).
Like others have mentioned, caffeine and sugar intake can cause the heart fluttering (I definitely experienced this when I used to drink 3+ cups of coffee a day). I’ve also found that my body feels better overall when I limit my intake of ultra-processed foods and stick to a whole foods diet. Hope that helps!
Absolutely.
I may also be intaking too much sugar, as you mentioned. But the caffeine is the big one. It may also be causing crashes too.
I also used to drink 3+ cups of coffee a day before switching to caffeine pills (I take about 2 a day).
It sounds like it might have been an anxiety attack or something like that. It also could’ve been related to what you’d been doing the last few days as well, if you hadn’t been getting enough sleep, eating too much sugar, drinking too much caffeine.
If you’re worried, it is probably a good idea to speak to your doctor about it, if you’re able to.
Probably drinking too much caffeine. I take 400 mg of caffeine a day (two caffeine pills).
And normally, people have 2 to 3 cups of coffee (which amount to about 200 mg).
So that could be it.
400 is supposedly the upper limit of what’s safe. I get panic attacks with too much caffeine. Caffeine sources that are also high in theanine help me.
Do you mean specifically L-theanine?
Yes, sorry!
No, you’re good!
What caffeine sources have L-theanine?
perhaps tea?
I’m trying to switch to that right now after my recent over-stimulation episode (if it was over-stimulation).
Bigelow peak energy has both, if you’re in the U$. I like matcha too. I think it couldn’t hurt to switch for a bit and see!

Thanks! Came up as the first search result!
