Panic attacks

Ashley

When I don’t eat for over 2 hours, it feels like my body is going into panic attack mode. My heart starts beating fast. I can’t think and start feeling light headed. When I eat, the feeling goes away, and I get calm again.

Before I got pregnant, I was doing OMAD regularly for about a year. I don’t have any health problems.

What the heck is going on? Does anyone else feel like this? I hope I don’t develop GD or hypoglycemia.

I have the same problem. I panic and sometimes even get dizzy if I can’t get food every 2 hrs :(

Thank you so much for responding. I’m glad that I’m not the only one. Have you found any reasoning as to why this happens? I was reading about how the baby is using our glucose stores to grow, but it depletes our so fast that it leaves us on sort of a glucose roller coaster if not maintained. I’m not sure if this is the reason or not 🤷🏻‍♀️

It sounds like it could be low blood sugar? I think that’s pretty normal early on but I’d mention it to your doc too.
