i drank coffee on an empty stomach a week ago and it triggered a week long panic attack. it has nothing to do with my feelings or emotions. my body is constantly in a panic state and if it’s not too bad i feel extremely tired. got an EKG and everything and everything is normal. will this go away naturally? or will i have this forever? will i ever go back to normal? every post ive seen about this it’s not looking promising because everyone i’ve seen on reddit it seems like they have to deal with it using medication and it seems to be an ongoing thing. i have never in my life experienced this and i hope with everything in me that it goes away normally. has anyone experienced this, how do i fix immediately?

About a week ago I drank a strong coffee on an empty stomach after not having caffeine for a long time, and ever since then I’ve been having severe symptoms that honestly feel like a panic attack that never stopped.
It started with a racing heart, chest tightness, shortness of breath, feeling like I couldn’t breathe or swallow properly, shakiness, nausea, adrenaline surges, twitching, and just this overwhelming feeling that something was seriously wrong with my body. The weird part is it doesn’t even feel mental. It feels completely physical.
Now it’s been a full week and I still have these symptoms every day. Once or twice a day I suddenly get hit with intense episodes again. Even small things like walking down stairs, standing up too fast, or slight movement can make me short of breath and trigger it.
I genuinely thought I had a heart problem, so I got scans, tests, chest x rays, etc. and they told me everything looked normal. Then I went to my doctor and he said it could be an issue with my nervous system or hypothalamus being overstimulated.
I honestly don’t know what to do because it feels like I triggered something in my body that won’t go away. It’s ruining my quality of life at this point because every day feels like being stuck in fight or flight.
Has anyone else experienced something like this after caffeine or stress? Did it eventually go away? I feel really alone in this.

I’m genuinely trying to understand the difference between intuition (from God) and fear/anxiety based thoughts, because I keep having an experience I can’t fully explain.

Before a recent flight, the day before, I had a very strong feeling that I shouldn’t go on the trip. It wasn’t a vague worry it felt like I genuinely shouldn’t have bought the tickets in the first place and I had a strong sense that going wasn’t right for me. I ended up sobbing because of that feeling like I felt very strongly that I shouldn’t go for absolutely no reason.

The next day, when I got to the airport, I actually felt completely fine. I wasn’t anxious in the moment nothing felt wrong and everything was normal.

While I was there, I tried to ground myself by imagining a purple light around me for calm protection.

From that state, I asked myself a very direct yes or no question in my head “Am I going to get on this flight”

What I immediately got in my mind was a very clear statement “You are not going to get on this flight”

And what’s important is how that moment felt it did NOT feel calm intuitive or grounded. It felt very dark heavy and extremely negative in tone almost like a low unsettling dark voice rather than any sense of peace or clarity. It felt nothing like intuition is usually described to feel.

At the same time it caught me completely off guard because at that exact moment everything in my environment was normal. Nothing was happening and there was no obvious reason for that to be the answer.

What confuses me is not just that moment but a pattern I’ve noticed.

Whenever I do these yes or no questions to myself in my head the “answers” always feel like they come from a negative or heavy place. It never feels aligned calm or reassuring like people describe intuition. It always feels emotionally intense unsettling and like it’s coming from something fearful or negative in tone.

At the same time sometimes these “answers” end up being accurate in real life which is what makes it so confusing for me.

So I feel stuck trying to understand what this is.

It makes me wonder
If intuition is supposed to feel calm what is this?
Why do these emotionally heavy or negative feeling “answers” often line up with real outcomes?
Am I getting my answers from a low vibrational source?

I believe in God, and I just want to have true intuition again not whatever this is, because it feels super negative. I pray all the time about this and nothing seems to work. Any insight? I’ve been struggling with this for so long.

p.s I’m fully aware that this sounds crazy but that’s why I’m asking, I just need clarity
