Het is inderdaad zo dat caffeine allergie kan leiden tot angst/paniekgevoel. Heb er zelf ook last van gehad.
Zie het artikel hieronder. Ook heb ik andere engelse wetenschappelijke studies gelezen die dat bevestigen. Ben sindsdien gestopt met koffie en heb nooit meer last gehad.

Hieronder een paar interessante stukjes uit het artikel.
How does it affect me? Caffeine allergy unlike other forms of allergies, adversely affects the mind rather than the body, though there are symptoms like chest pains, hyperventilation, heart palpitations, tightness of the throat and difficulty breathing.
To the allergic, caffeine targets cells and neurons directly, forcing the body to release excessive amounts of chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin and adrenaline causing repulsive reactions. Where on one hand these chemicals help a person stay alert, active and in high spirits, on excessive levels, it results to repulsive behavior
Symptoms of person with severe caffeine allergy are such that a person can be mistaken as depression, obsessive compulsive, schizophrenia, attention deficit order (ADD), manic depressive or bipolar disorder. The symptoms may range from delusions, mania, frantic behavior and other symptoms that closely resembles mental disorders.
