Answer
Hi Joanna,

Most anxiety attacks are not cause by environmental triggers but from an illness within.

See:

Beating Anxiety and Phobias at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/beating_anxiety.html

and discuss with a Nutritional Doctor, Clinical Nutritionist or Nutritional Psychotherapist. Most people can overcome the problem by adopting the hypoglycemic diet (See our web site).
For more information use our "Search our Web Site" or INDEX and look for articles containing  topics entered in search engine. Let us know how you are getting along?
