Hi all,

I’m having a really rough time atm, I’ve been in bed mostly since Wednesday. I had a couple of drinks on the 23rd, then a couple on Xmas eve, then far too much on Xmas day, I only drank a couple of other times this year. Boxing Day I had a few cups of coffee, felt horrendous and didn’t eat as much as usual. 

So Wednesday is mostly fine, until around 7pm when I feel really bad, start shaking uncontrollably, nauseous, feel really hot and temp goes up, heart rate is really high. Ring 111 and then get a doctor to call me, go to see him, by which time my heart rate has gone down and shaking has stopped. Doctor assessed  me and decided it’s a mix of too much alcohol, dehydration and possibly a bug. 

Since then I haven’t been able to sleep, I feel like my heart starts racing or I forget to breathe and I wake up just as I’m slipping off. I’m still nauseous with no appetite, but have drank plenty of water now.

So I just wondered if this is post alcohol anxiety and, if so, how long does it last!? I just want to sleep :(
