Drinking Anxiety
I have a problem and want to know if anyone has any info or advice. So I’ve only tried to drink a couple times. At a party this summer I drank a bottle of mike’s. As I was drinking it I felt chest pain and it was hard to breathe. I felt hot too, my face was a little red. About an hour after I finished it, I threw up. Another time I tried to drink some seagram’s gin with coke and a few sips in I felt the trouble breathing and a little sick to my stomach so I gave it to someone else.
I looked into it and I don’t think it’s an allergy or anything, and I didn’t take any medication, even ibuprofen or anything, for at least a day before I drank. I also ate enough and it was just normal food, nothing weird about or anything that upsets my stomach. I was not sick either of these times either.
So I was wondering if this is just extreme anxiety? My dad has a drinking problem and so I have some fear and trauma surrounding that, but when I tried to drink I didn’t have any emotional feeling of anxiety, just these physical reactions. Every time I try to research anxiety before drinking, I just get results about anxiety after drinking.
I have a christmas party to go to this weekend and I really want to drink, so any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help!
