Hello it's me again lmao

Does anyone else worry about eating out too much? That it will cause health issues? I'm constantly weird about what I eat. I ordered cookies last night and got take out tonight and I'm super concerned about what will be the repricutions of me eating out. Will it clog my arteries?

I've had chest pain all day and arm pain (I get this symptom a lot with anxiety) but eating out seems to just make everything worse and elevates my heart rate 10 fold which is maybe just me being anxious over eating?

Does anyone else get scared too of allergies ? Whenever I try a new place I get scared that I'm allergic to something in the food and my throat feels like it's closing.

I've started new meds only a few days ago and I'm hoping I get some relief soon because my thoughts are so freaking bad lately.
I'm 24. Healthy . Below average weight and IM HEALTHY SO WHY CANT I BELIEVE THAT. AHHHHH

I'm still having the same dizzy spells at the same times. Same arm pain. Same chest aches and same hand pain. All my labs are normal besides some vitamin deficiency that I've been taking pills for.

Allllll the time and it gets old i eat really well but if i know that im around 100 percent daily value for sodium boom I have sternum soreness my hads feel numb my back has pinching pains and soreness then if i eat something high iin cholesterol im panicking if I eat something that doesnt sit well I feel like its a heart problem or if im to full the upper abdominal pain sets in and i panic. Or get panicky . its an every day occurrence somedays less then others but i do feel this way your not alone in that.

I have very similar problems also. Actually, the only food I can eat without worry is poultry ham sandwich. Anything else makes me feel like throwing up, going to the toilet very often or I have a heartburn. What works for me is eating what I want or feel like at the weekends. Then I am at home, so I tell myself: you don't have to go anywhere, if you want throwing up, you go straight to the toilet; if you have the heartburn, you take pill and have rest. I keep thinking that when something harms you, then your organism manages with it. You cannot get poisoned. It starts to get rid of that, so you can go to the toilet very often or vomit. And at home, I am free to do it without embarrassment. (It's strange thought but helps) And often, at the weekends everything is fine, so I try that kind of food on weekdays and think: At the weekend everything's ok, so it cannot be harmful, let's try. I am allergic in general. I am scared of eating out sometimes but then I usually order something that is similar to what I have eaten at home or the same thing as my friend, so if she is okay, I also should be. When eating something completely new I make sure that I am with somebody I can rely on (in case of help) and if in 30 minutes after eating everything is fine, I think: it's nothing serious, if you do not react immediately.

I cannot eat anything I feel is high in sodium or cholesterol. It makes me sick or I panic. Rational thinking is I know one bad thing shouldn't effect anything overnight but I just can't get myself to eat bad. The health scare I had with my heart makes me feel like I cant enjoy any of the foods I use to. I start getting nauseous if I even see them.

Exactly in the same boat as you. I’ve gone a whole week without eating. Recently, though, I went two and a half days. And a couple days ago it was about three days. It sucks because we need food to go on.

It’s hard. I have vitamin D deficiency, so I take pills for that. Everything came back normal for me, as well besides the vitamins. The chest pain, arm pain, all that is associated with anxiety. It’s not something we control and it’s definitely scary. But you’re stronger than this. Remember that. Life is meant to be enjoyed, and even if there are minor bumps in the road, you’ll still overcome this.

Eat something if you can. I don’t eat and it hurts, trust. I’ve lost a lot of weight and you don’t want that. I usually eat like a bowl of white rice and some grilled chicken, with lemon all over to give it some flavor. Or even an orange for desert. And I went a whole year not eating sugar because I convinced myself I had diabetes. I just recently started eating fruits and ice cream.

Eating out can be very unhealthy what I do is I check the nutrition facts on different menus to restaurants and try to decide on healthier options. It's not always easy but I manage to find something at most places. What I try to watch is my saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and sugar intakes. You don't have to give up the stuff that you like altogether just be more aware of what you are eating and try to make better choices once in awhile. Let's say you have high blood pressure and you are trying to watch your sodium intake you can kind of balance that out by eating foods rich in potassium. Foods rich in potassium will help to lower blood pressure. Cholesterol and Saturated fat is what clogs arteries if your lab work looked good then i'm sure that your arteries are in pretty good shape. By the way I have a food phobia myself I will not eat white sauces in less it's like alfredo sauce. When I was a boy I ate a potato salad and was food poisoned by it so I've had a mayonnaise and any white sauce phobia since. I just can't bring myself to eat it.
