Hello! I am so glad to have found this forum, It is good to know that we are not alone
A little about me first - I live in Houston, Texas -Professional woman, very social and outgoing, no kids never married and am 38. My panic attacks started from partying to much when I was younger. I remember smoking weed and having them so I stopped or being hungover and having one or being super panicky. Well the drinking continued as I have many friends and all we did was party when we could!! Well obviously now as a grown up I have a fantastic job that I love and I do not drink like that at all. I do enjoy a glass of wine / and or beer on the weekends and I am fine no issues.
Well last Tuesday I over did it and by over did it .....BAD ...I mean all day. I was on vacation and went to the beach in Galveston with my boyfriend. I drank wine and beer and more wine and beer and more wine and beer :/ So needless to say the next day was shitty! And I had a panic attack , heart racing , sweating, I felt like I could not breathe and felt like I was going to pass out. I went to the restroom in the dark sat by the tub and turned on the cold water and splashed myself with water! I calmed down and in 5 mins it was gone that was Wed. So Thursday rolls around and I have another one worse than the first one. That one lasted a good 45 mins , After the water splashing , walking distracting myself it left. However I stayed with anxiety and felt like I was on the brink of another one. Friday ...Panicky , Sat and Sun as well. I had to literally leave where I was at so I would not have one. SOOOO my question is this- Is this just a bad hangover and I will be fine. Or did I screw my body up and now will be like this everyday? I feel really calm right now , I am just scared I will feel anxiety panicky tomorrow!
I looked online and it said that a really bad hangover can last a week...that is what I am hoping !! What do you think?
