Ireland Baldwin details anxiety attack triggered by coffee

Coffee isn’t Ireland Baldwin’s friend.

The model, 26, revealed Saturday that she suffered a caffeine-induced anxiety attack.

“This morning I had one cup of coffee on an empty stomach which turned into an anxiety attack! I am currently writing this from the bathroom floor,” Baldwin captioned two selfies on Instagram in a white T-shirt and gray sweatpants.

“I usually sit here like this or lay in fetal position until I can’t cry or throw up anymore. Coffee is [a] major esophageal irritator and reflux trigger for me which leads to anxiety,” she continued.

The daughter of Alec Baldwin, who is no stranger to getting candid about her struggles with anxiety, called herself a “silly goose” in explaining why she “drank it in the first place.”

“Writing this and being open with y’all about my struggles helps it pass. If coffee makes you s–t your pants and makes you experience this, please share below,” she wrote.

Alec, 63, commented, “I love you” on the post, while comedian Brittany Furlan sympathized with Ireland, writing, “Oh honey. No caffeine for us. You got this. Ice ur chest if you can.”

Ireland told her Instagram followers in January that she suffers from cardiophobia, an anxiety disorder that causes her to live in constant fear of dying from a heart attack.

“The heart palpitations and chest pain brought on by your typical anxiety attack convinces me that I am a 26 year old with an underlying heart condition that I don’t have,” she shared at the time.

The Los Angeles native explained that she ordered a blood pressure monitor to read her heart rate because “nothing brings [her] more comfort than an EKG.”

“My anxiety has gotten SO BAD in the past that I have called ambulances and have had hospital visits where paramedics and doctors assure me my heart is ok,” she wrote. “I know it may seem silly to you, but this little machine has brought me the utmost comfort.”

Ireland is Alec’s only daughter with ex-wife Kim Basinger. He and current wife Hilaria Baldwin share six children: Carmen, 8, Rafael, 6, Leonardo, 5, Romeo, 3, Eduardo, 1, and Lucia, 1.
