What causes panic attacks after consuming alcohol?
human
This is the second time in the past 2 months that I was little drunk and had a rush of emotions attacking me leading to crying uncontrollably. I don t exactly remember how it started but I think I got a panic/anxiety attack (not sure which one) and I could not breathe at all. I thought I d die, I just couldn t breathe at all and had lots of water, someone rubbing my back after which I calmed down. I even felt like I d throw up in no time and dizzy (I think it s because of the alcohol).. is this something I should be worried about? I ve sinus, pcod and frequent body pains (back pain) for quite few months. Pls let me know if you think I need to see a doctor for the anxiety/panic attack I mentioned about. Thank you so much.

Hello,Alcohol can cause sensations of dizziness, rapid heartbeat, heart palpitations, and other symptoms that are known to trigger panic attacks, especially in those with health anxiety. I suggest you consult a psychologist for anxiety treatment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,    Dr. K. V. Anand
