I'm 63 years old I recently had 2 bad experiences after drinking wine & vodka I thought I was having a stroke or heart attack, my shoulders,both arms,tightness of chest,shortness of breath. The pain in my shoulders & arms felt like it was in the bones now I get the same feeling when exposed to colder temp air outside I get shortness of breath & heavy tightness of chest. For the past 3 to 4 weeks I've had ekgs, stress test, heart sonagram every test was good no issues. Prior to my bad experiences I recently went to ent center to treat my seasonal allergies which have been getting worst excessive phlegm in mornings ,post nasal drip the docter prescribe a nasal spray azelastine hydrochloride. I started to research the side affects During the post approval use of Astelin Nasal Spray, the following adverse reactions have been identified. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Adverse reactions reported include: anaphylaxis, application site irritation, atrial fibrillation, chest pain, confusion, dyspnea, facial edema, involuntary muscle contractions, nasal sores, palpitations, paresthesia, parosmia, pruritus, rash, disturbance or loss of sense of smell and/or taste, tolerance, urinary retention, vision abnormal and xerophthalmia. The alcohol enhances the side effects I'm stopping my meds at this time, Be care of what meds you are taking with alcohol consumption

I have been suffering with this since i was 32, i am now nearly 40. It's like one day someone flicked a switch in my body and ever since i've been desperately trying to find that damn switch but to no avail.
For me it always happened after drinking but over this last year i have noticed it has developed into health anxiety as well. So what that basically means is i am super sensitive to my body and anything that doesn't feel normal I will start to panic. But as ever the alcohol is still the main contributor.
For years i have been searching for cures, answers anything to help. Here is what I found has helped me.
- Magnesium
- GABA
- Vitamin B12
Cutting down on alcohol does help but I've got the stage where if i even have 1 beer I will wake up with a tight chest and hot flushes.
I have had a sleep test done for Apnea, i have been to hospital countless times. One thing which helped incredible was having a full health check. Once I got the results and all was clear I had 2 months of bliss until the anxiety creeped back in.
So i take these supplements daily, I drink plenty of water and only drink when I am prepared to accept the fallout over the coming days! I try to manage the anxiety but if it gets to much I pop a xanex or valium. I have only had to take one of these on 5 occasions in the last 6 months. Since I have started all these tests and supplements. I can see light at the end of the tunnel but still a long way to go!
