I get panic attacks the day after drinking. I'm having a hard time calming down today. Please help! I feel like I'm going to die or have a seizure

    I'm so sorry you're feeling bad today, Alesha. You're not alone in this. Try doing some controlled breathing or meditation? Perhaps also drink more water to stay hydrated?

    Hey. I’m the exact same, my panic attacks are horrendous when Iv been drinking the night before. I used to get heart palpitations and everything. Best thing to do is have a nice bath, drink plenty of water, have a hot chocoate. No caffeine, just relax. Don’t watch tv or go on your phone just get lots of sleep. I found that this worked for me.

    Hi Alesha, 

    This also happens to me the day after drinking, usually it goes on for a few days after so I understand where you're coming from. I never know what to do, I try and ride it out and hope to feel better the next day. Just know that you can talk on this whenever you feel that way and know that you are not alone.

    I hope you feel better soon

    I am the very same. do be so bad after drink. The only things that I find helpful is a relaxant like Xanax or the hair of the dog (a glass of wine or something) to take the edge off and try and reduce your alcohol intake slightly
