Greetings!Jxxxxxx!
Welcome to the Heart Disorder healthboards! I would avoid those things which cause symptoms. Sometimes snacks can have things a person is allergic to such as monosodium glutamate which can cause a headache in those allergic to it. Chocolate, coffee and tea have caffeine in them which can raise heart rate and aught to be avoided in my opinion. Of course adrenalin also raises it so with all the combined factors perhaps the heart did run really fast. Sugar can cause anxiety so of course both of those might contribute. Steroids can cause immune system problems and therefore aggravate any existing candida albicans yeast problems which of course can cause more allergies. The yeast is fed by sugar. I would walk every day in sunshine and fresh air, and rest 8 hours at night. In summary I would avoid the junk, eat vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, nuts if able and avoid all additives in food. Peace, sjb
