There is no doubt that dehydration can trigger a panic attack, as it can cause poor health in general. Most water gurus I've read recommend distilled water. Too much water can also be bad, as it can remove water-soluble vitamins and minerals from your body. As they say, everything in moderation. Caffeine is a major trigger for my panic attacks - I've actually had to call paramedics after I drank a cup of coffee at a convention center! I went down like a ton of bricks, with symptoms of anaphylactic shock.
I overcame my longterm panic disorder largely through the use of GABA and Joe Barry's techniques. I also had to go through withdrawal from a benzodiazepine, which is anxiety/panic medication. It is said that withdrawal from these drugs is worse than from heroin - and I believe it!
Water can be helpful for people who are dehydrated, but it can also cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies, so take it easy!
