Hangover induced panic attacks?
I’ve drank mostly socially with friends since I was 18 and I’m now 26.
The week I turned 25 I went out 2 nights in a row and had a hangover which was expected. On my way home I began to randomly feel a sense of panic creeping up on me which was confusing because everything was fine.
I don’t mean hangxiety, I mean full blown severe panic. It came on strong to the point where I was basically fainting in public and felt like I couldn’t breathe. It lasted for hours and everything felt doomed. It was by far the most torturous mental experience I’ve ever felt.
Since that hangover, any time I am hungover I begin to feel this panic come back in waves and I have to try to hold it off from turning into a full blown attack. I know this is a sign to cut back on drinking which I’m working on, but has anyone else experienced this??
Before this, hangovers consisted of some grogginess, nausea, headaches, some hangxiety but NEVER actual panic attacks to the point of feeling unable to breathe or speak.. genuinely curious as to what is happening or if anyone else has this experience after drinking.
