A member asked:

Took some health supplements but then i had a panic attack, what went wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May have stimulants.: They may have contained stimulants like caffeine, ma huang or ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate). You should read the labels and discuss the ingredients w/ a pharmacist or physician. It may be better to avoid them if you have those side effects.
