Hello sir/mam .im vikas, 29 years old male .i had taken preworkout (contains caffeine and yohimbine) less than a half scoop before the workout home 17/06/2020wed evening, in between the workout. I felt severe anxiety and palpitations. On that day I was feeling that I will collapse. Very frequent kind of panic attacks. Next day I had a normal ecg confirmed by cardiologist and he prescribed me ciplar- la20 mg, omega3,multivitamins/d3/calcium and put me on dash diet. Now its been 4-5 days my panic attacks gradually decreasing but still persists. Should I consult to psychiatrist. Please help.

Yes you may consult a psychiatrist. This needs to be evaluated in detail. Also try relaxation and breathing exercises to help reduce anxiety symptoms in the meantime. Avoid caffeinated drinks.

Hi lybrate-user, the high dose of caffeine in some pre workout supplements can cause panic attacks. You may not need to visit a psychiatrist right away. Stay away from the supplements for a while, make sure you continue to do your daily routine. Invest some time on learning some relaxation techniques. If the anxiety is distressing and impairs your life in any way consider seeing a psychiatrist you will be okay. Have a great day.

It is never a good idea to use caffine and yohimbine. They both cause palpitations and anxiety apart from other serious adverse effects. If you have stopped using, it is good. Ciplar should be able to reduce your palpitations but if you have ongoing anxiety, please consult a psychiatrist.
