First post here, hoping to get some opinions on what happened the other night.
I'm a 23 year old guy coming from a hypothyroid background and for a few weeks I'd been eating a diet of roughly 1/1.5 litres of 2% milk, .5/1 litre of oj, between 80-160g of sucrose, a few pasture-raised eggs a day, 50g cocoa, around 4/5 cups of very strong coffee (around 3/4 tsps of coffee per cup) and 200g liver twice a week and 12 oysters twice a week, I also took 5/8 tbsp of gelatin a day and carrot salad daily. Was also consuming around 5+ tsp of salt a day and keeping a temp of 36.5/37c (usually 36.9/37.0) and heart rate of around 80/90 throughout the day, supp'ing niacinamide, D/E/K, 2 aspirin, 3/4 tsp eggshell calcium, occasional sodium bicarbonate with oj.
Had been feeling really good, highest libido I've ever experienced (previously low) mental clarity, concentration, ambition, creativity, calm but energised, feeling happy.
Tuesday night I had a massive crash from nowhere, shaking hard, tension in my jaw, felt like I was gonna faint/die, heart beating hard, scared as hell, had a weird faint feeling in my heart area and felt as if i was totally empty inside, feeling of unreality, my testicles actually shriveled up tight (now that's some fright, huh?)
I was trying to figure out if I'd dehydrated myself and this is a stress response? am I overhydrated? my hands and feet were cold but I hadn't peed in a few hours, as I lay in bed shaking, telling myself that I'll feel much better by the end of this episode of SG-1 I ended up peeing almost totally clear three times within an hour or so.
Thinking about it, I had experienced the hollow feeling when in bed the previous night and had trouble sleeping, had to get up and have some eggs with sugared milk because I felt totally empty. I think I was also becoming a bit too hyper over the previous day or so, occasionally gnawing teeth to a rhythm and sometimes pacing around, perhaps this incident had been building up.
Do you think this was simply too much caffeine or could something worse be at play?
Since then I've gone to Matt Stone style "Eat For Heat" eating and because I was so freaked I totally stopped having coffee/sucrose/salt/supps the past few days because I was scared of the episode I had on Tuesday night and the hollow feeling scared me, haven't actually felt "full" even after eating a lot. I still find myself getting scared/uneasy from time to time, adrenaline? This is the kinda stuff I used to feel some time ago during my raw vegan and water fasting experiences, but back then I felt a ton worse, that's pretty much when my health problems kicked off (low libido, hair loss).
Sometimes I'm getting *really* hot after food and feels like my heart is beating too hard at times, sometimes it happens when I just get up and start walking around. Kinda feeling scared to eat because I don't know what the right thing to do is.
In the days since then I've occasionally been getting the totally empty sensation and pooping more than regular but the empty feeling has pretty much stopped, I'm guessing metabolic rate is still quite high, body is pretty much warm all the time, toes get slightly cold on rare occasion.
Any idea what happened? I'm thinking that possibly I pushed my body too hard, or simply too much caffeine, or I increased metabolic rate too high (hyperthyroid?) for my consumption level (2.5/3k calories) causing that empty/hollow feeling, kinda running on empty.
Right now being totally rid of the anxiety is primary concern. What's the verdict, people? :?
