#5 Try to Drink Less Coffee

Your central nervous system is stimulated by the chemical caffeine, which may be found in coffee, some varieties of tea, chocolate, and energy drinks. Consuming too much caffeine can aggravate anxiety symptoms and make them worse. Furthermore, it may interfere with your ability to sleep. Thus, tension and anxiety symptoms could worsen as a result.

How much caffeine a person can handle depends on the individual. Consider reducing your caffeine intake if you find that it makes you restless or nervous by switching to decaf tea or water in place of coffee or caffeinated drinks. It is advised to limit caffeine intake to about 400 mg per day, or about 4-5 cups of coffee since numerous studies indicate that caffeine is healthy in moderation.

Caffeine-sensitive people may experience increased anxiety and tension even after drinking far less caffeine than the above-mentioned amount, so it’s critical to consider your own tolerance.
