I tend to drink every wknd cause I enjoy it for the moment, and then when I wake up after the heavy partying I suffer from really bad anxiety then it leads to panick attacks since its hard to control it. I feel like I cant breath and since I have mild asthma dont know if its asthma or anxiety. I also feel like Im having a heart attack cause I get chest pains, My head starts to spin like I cant breath I feel I have no control and end up calling an ambulance. I like to drink but the hangovers are toturing. Many of my friends drink and dont get anxiety or panick attacks, They might suffer from headaches minor stuff but can continue there daily routine. I have G.A.D (Genrelized anxiety disorder) So I get it every single they but the hangovers are the worst. I have to face the fact that I need to stop drinking all together. :( I enjoy it but its effecting my life and my family that worry for me. I wish there was a way I can enjoy drinking without worrying the next day about my fears of dieing... Its horrible wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy.

I feel the exactly the same way. I'm 28 years old been drinking for about 10 years. I drink most weekends, sometimes week days ill go to happy hour. If I drink 3 or 4 drinks and then stop and eat a meal and drink water before bed I feel alright, but on the days when I binge and drink for several hours losing count of drinks and partying and having a great time. I know the next day I'm going to pay. I had that kind of night last night and today I am paying big time. Thats when I come on these forums and read other people going through the same things. It seems to also not happen to any of my friends so I start to think maybe I have a problem and should quit drinking. But I am a party girl and I love to go out and drink and I almost can't imagine how it would change me as a person to stop. Then that thought makes me think wow maybe I really do have a problem. Circular thinking and then I start to freak myself out. Somehow reading these can help me calm down alittle bit just so see,okay, this happens to other people and I am not dying I am just having an anxiety attack because I'm dehydrated and my heart is pumping more than usual and it has happened before and I always end up being fine eventually. I tell myself this over and over again and it seems as soon as I start to believe myself it swings right back around again. It comes in waves. I'm in the middle of a big wave right now feeling like I'm crawling in my skin, afraid I'm having a heat attack or seizure or any sort of things. Panicking. Trying to calm down. Like you said, these feelings are just totally horrible.
Any advice of how you help yourself get through the day? I'm having a super hard time of it today. When I first woke up it just felt like a standard hangover like I used to get when I was younger, but as the hours roll by here comes the anxiety and I can't seem to think of anything else. I'm trying to calm down! What happens when you do go to the hospital? Do they help you or medicate you or just tell you that you are fine and just hungover?
