Anxiety triggers
Hi. So I'm on anxiety medications since 1.5 months. It was going all good but today I smoked a cigarette and I think that triggered anxiety. I smoked in a little amount though. I was dizzy and sweaty all evening. It's better now but I want to know if smoking cigarette triggers anxiety or not even in a little amount.

Hello. Thank you for connecting with Practo. We will definately try to help you. Well at this age such things are somewhat normal but one should try not to resort to smoking. Try maintaining a healthy lifestyle, try to eat healthy, talk to family and get enough sleep, do meditation. If its getting worse even after it consult a psychiatrist. You might be having anxiety disorders then. Well if you need, please feel free to connect. I will be available. Thank you.

You had panic attack which can occur any time in anxiety state , however it is good to abstain from smoking, regular excercise, some changes in medication should avoid this happening in future

It completely depends on what your thought process is at the point
Smoking can have a protective effect on anxiety too but its totally dependent on your mindset... I wanna know your thoughts on smoking and what exactly triggers it
