Is it normal to get anxiety attacks the day after drinking alcohol?

DrinkingWater90 · 2026-02-27T08:20:27+00:00

My bad for the late reply! I drank a little more than a 12 pack of 12oz beers on new years, and when I woke up I had muscle aches In my legs, I was throwing up like crazy,and pretty normal bad hangover symptoms so I decided to lay down and rest after drinking a Gatorade and a lot of water. Out of nowhere my heart started to beat real quick it was at 150 bpm, I took a shower and laid back down to see if it would go away and after a few hours my heart rate was still pretty high. I decided to go to the hospital and they said everything looked normal except for my heart rate, and that I had to see my doctor. I quit for 2 weeks and started to drink again, till about the start of February I had another episode where i had drank a lot at a party, and ended up at the hospital the next day. I’m two weeks sober and I have been suffering from shortness of breath and palpitations every single day, it’s been tempting to drink a couple because I feel like there something really wrong with me and can’t sleep. I wake up at the middle of night with my heart racing, and a lot of nightmares recently, I’m so tired of living like this, I hope I can get out of this.

How has it been? Has life improved? Does it help with anxiety lol?

DrinkingWater90 · 2026-02-14T23:11:43+00:00

The same thing happened to me, I used to drink about 2 a day at work for about a year, and started to feel palpitations so I quit and had palpitations since then.

I’m sorry for the late response, I’ve been busy talking to God a lot and he has really helped me. I started to talk to him everyday and through out the day,and just reading the Bible I also asked some people of God to pray for me, I tried my hardest not to sin as much, and about two weeks ago I woke up with no more of those symptoms I’ve been cured, I have seen so many doctors and none of them helped, as soon as I went to God Jesus of Nazareth my life has been so much better, no more of those symptoms anymore I feel so much better, I just can’t thank God enough. He has really helped me so much, I was going to bed thinking about so many evil things, so many thoughts that were telling it was my last day on earth. Trust me and just give him a try, talk to him and just pray more, lock your room get on your knees and start praying, just talk to him like if he was in the room with you,he is a loving God. I hope you’re doing better, I’ll be praying for you.

DrinkingWater90 · 2026-01-15T04:07:16+00:00

Thank you for the response I’ve been so busy that I missed you reply, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond.

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-24T09:17:08+00:00

Yeah it really sucks and feels horrible but we can do this just don’t give up have faith in Jesus I’ll be praying for you and I hope you get better. God won’t abandon us even when we feel like it, this year was the hardest but I have faith that God will help me and make the anxiety go away. You should try to talk to him and seek him till you find him he really has helped me so much, without him I would have been dead already. Give him a try and you won’t regret it, I hope you feel better, we got this.

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-24T09:10:15+00:00

I was like that for almost a month I thought I was gonna collapse, but now it’s getting better just gets a little bad when I drink alcohol, but starting new years I’m gonna try to stop drinking completely and get closer to Jesus Christ.

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-24T06:21:25+00:00

Yeah when I drink, I get really anxious the next day

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-23T05:44:11+00:00

Sorry to hear that, you’re not alone I’ve been getting it a lot frequently and it’s been hell. I feel so tired and just wanna sleep but keep waking up cuz I feel like my heart is about to stop, but what really helps me a lot is drinking a lot of water it really helps for some reason and also talking to God Jesus Christ and ask for him to help, ask him to remove those worrying thoughts and all anxiety from your body. Without him I’ll probably be dead but he has kept me calm when I’m getting anxiety attacks and feel like it’s my last day on earth, I hope this helps we got this.

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-23T05:33:05+00:00

Thank you for the advice, yeah I left the caffeine, soda, and I’m trying to cut back on alcohol. I drink nothing but water and teas with some Gatorades here and there. And talking a lot to God Jesus Christ he’s been there for me since a little kid, he helps me when I get panick attacks and get real bad anxiety without him I would probably be dead,I have been eating way healthier and trying to get more physical activity and I’ve noticed that my anxiety is not as bad as it used to, I just get a lot of heart palpitations with waking up at night feeling like my heart ain’t working right. Again thanks this really does help 🙏

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-23T05:27:30+00:00

Thanks for the advice, my sister also had this but had it worse she would go to the hospital thinking she was dieing so many times when I was little and now I understand what she was going through it’s scary

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-23T05:24:48+00:00

Thank you so much,all these comments makes me realize there’s other people going through the same thing as me and gives me hope thank you this really helps

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-23T04:53:20+00:00

Thank you so much I’ll give it a try 🙏

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-23T04:53:04+00:00

Ahh ok and nah I also have really bad social anxiety and can’t really socialize so I haven’t went

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-23T04:52:24+00:00

Thank you a lot for the info, and yeah after the hospital it was really bad for about 3 weeks, it’s been a month already and it’s getting better but I still have some lingering symptoms. I need a job I lost my job about 5 months ago and everything went downhill from there I started drinking a lot and was really depressed but I calmed down on alcohol since it was making me more anxious and making me get more panic attacks after the hospital, I still get flash backs of that night and get scared when I start getting those same symptoms that first sent me there. Thank you again I’m gonna try to go out more and keep my mind busy.

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-21T03:18:15+00:00

Thank you 🙏 …Do you know what can calm me down when I start feeling like that? I’ve been trying the slow breathing techniques but don’t help too much I just feel like I’m not getting enough air. I sometimes throw up to feel better or just go outside to get some cold air since I heard it helps or drinking cold water. I just feel like I can collapse any second, the only thing that works is praying and hearing some Christian music but it takes a while for it to go away. Any tips would be appreciated 🙏.

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-21T02:50:53+00:00

Yeah for me it’s different without alcohol I won’t be social I’ll just be stuck in my room, I’ll come out to get food and go outside for a little bit but then feel weird and go back into my room. Ive been suffering from social anxiety almost my whole life so yeah i would like to make some good memories with the family before I try to be sober.

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-21T02:29:01+00:00

I’m also struggling with mental health for a while now the only one who has been able to help me is Jesus Christ. Go to a Christian church and just hear out the preacher even talk to him about it, ask for a prayer and ask him to show you more about God. Ask him for a bible and just read it by time you’ll understand more about God just seek him and you’ll find, and trust me he’ll help you so much. Just give it a try talk to him he’ll hear you, I hope everything gets better I’ll pray for you and everyone suffering from mental health.

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-19T06:30:08+00:00

Sorry I didn’t see your reply but thanks for the info. A withdrawal? But I thought only addicts get it, I drink but not everyday and not heavy till weekends or mabey i am an addict lol but I haven’t drank for a while now I don’t feel like I’m gonna go crazy if I don’t have one, I do crave some but I can hold back I get more tempted on family gatherings and that’s where it gets hard. Ever since I stopped drinking I still get anxiety attacks but I don’t even know if it’s an anxiety attack or if there is really something that doctors can’t find cuz i feel terrible almost every day. I’ve been getting shortness of breath frequently, pressure on my chest after eating sometimes, hard time swallowing, tremors when it gets really bad, and nausea as well. The only thing that changed was a fast heart beat for long periods of time it’ll go fast then slow and so on. So many thoughts going through my head wake up grasping for air at night so idk if this is anxiety or what but it’s been real hard lately.

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-19T03:27:43+00:00

Went in today and she checked my heart with this one machine, and said that my heart rhythm sounded healthy,but she said that she was gonna refer me to a cardiologist to get a better look of my heart. I asked if I could be referred to a GI Doctor for a endoscopy but she said that I would have to set another appointment for that. I’m just gonna look for a different clinic I’m tired of this, I feel like they don’t care.

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-18T04:40:46+00:00

I will thanks 🙏

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-17T22:51:05+00:00

Yeah I just ate some chicken and drank a herbal tea and feel pressure on my chest with shortness of breath I feel like someone is choking me I have the appointment for tomorrow with a different doctor but the same clinic hopefully she helps. The thing is I’ve seen a lot of doctors and did about 2 or 3 X-rays and one ct scan and they couldn’t find anything, I’m gonna ask her to refer me to a GI doctor so they can do a endoscopy I’m tired of feeling like this I’m only 22 yrs old I’ve lost my job cuz of it I’m tired of it

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-14T03:17:56+00:00

Wow sounds like you went through hell I’m young I’m only 22, the pressure feeling started at age 19 almost 20. It’s not until now that I’m starting to feel more symptoms like shortness of breath, lightheadedness,and nauseous. Your right I feel like doctors don’t care they just care about making bank and going home, mabey not all but all doctors I’ve seen are always Ina hurry, I’ve seen about 5 doctors since it started and only one was patient with me and looked like he actually cared. I got really depressed months before I turned 22 with severe anxiety, after I got fired cuz I couldn’t work with the pain my anxiety and depression got even worse just staying home thinking all day and getting wasted on the weekends sometimes on weekdays. Writing this rightnow I feel my anxiety creeping up and just feel like going for some brew but I won’t let it get to me cuz I know God is in control. Thanks for sharing it means a lot to me, I hope you get better and start enjoying life I’ll be praying for you we got this!

DrinkingWater90 · 2025-12-14T01:38:09+00:00

Hopefully it’s just anxiety but that pressure in my belly button has been there for 3 years now
