Brian Byrne, a tour manager in Los Angeles, was sipping a cold brew a few years ago when he started feeling clammy. Soon, his symptoms worsened: shallow breathing, a hollow feeling in his chest and a rapid, thumping heartbeat. He went outside to get air. \u201cAt that point, I was having racing thoughts, feeling like I was having a heart attack,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t the first time Mr. Byrne experienced a caffeine-fueled panic attack, but it was the most intense. \u201cDrinking that coffee felt like I poured gasoline on a fire that was already smoldering,\u201d he said. For a year after, he didn\u2019t touch the stuff and didn\u2019t have another serious episode.<\/p>\n

Many people can relate to Mr. Byrne\u2019s caffeine-related anxiety. While researchers can\u2019t definitively say that caffeine makes you anxious, it\u2019s linked to increased risk of anxiety among people with<\/a> and without psychiatric diagnoses<\/a>.<\/p>\n
