Panic attacks

Does anyone get panic attacks when the binge eat? I have been since last summer, so it has helped me not do it that much since then. But I have been getting them anytime I eat alot even if it's a large salad, and I'm talking like just lettuce and oil and vinegar, and not like a while pizza or anything. Just wanted to know if anyone else gets them and what they do about it.

@Letty666, eating large amounts of foods that are high in sugar and fats can cause our heart rate to fasten, it elevates our anxiety level and sometimes the guilt of what we just ate kicks in and adds to that and it can result in a panic attack. It is normal, maybe you can try and control your portion sizes and maybe talk to a professional if you can access one. Are you an anxious person in general or are these panic attacks just related to foods? why or why not?
