Anxiety after drinking as I get older
Who else has experienced a change in hangovers as they’ve gotten older? I’m 42 now, and after drinking I never feel nauseous, headaches are very mild if there at all. I might feel a bit tired. But the worst part of a hangover now is anxiety. It begins usually about 3-4 hours after I stop drinking. I get anxious feelings, a faster heartbeat, and a slight sense of panic. The worst part of it is being unable to fall asleep, despite being physically tired. Does anyone else experience this? If I drink several days in a row (say on a vacation, having like 6 drinks a day or so), then these anxiety symptoms can be there for a couple days after. Wish it didn’t happen. Asode from not drinking does anyone have reliable strategies for mitigating this? Medication or supplements that can help with getting to sleep?
