Can alcohol cause a panic attack?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The short answer is yes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2022\/11\/10\/well\/mind\/panic-attack-symptoms-causes.html\" title=\"\">Panic attacks<\/a> \u2014 sudden waves of overwhelming fear and apprehension, along with physical symptoms like chest pain and tightness, sweating, a racing heartbeat, nausea, difficulty breathing, feeling faint or numbness in the arms and hands \u2014 are <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.upenn.edu\/ctsa\/panic_symptoms.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">intense episodes of anxiety<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And alcohol and anxiety are considered \u201ctwo sides of the same coin,\u201d said Dr. Al\u00ebna Balasanova, an associate professor of psychiatry and the director of addiction psychiatry education at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While drinking is often used as a social lubricant or a way to relax and unwind, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16260448\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">scientists have found<\/a> that alcohol can ramp up feelings of anxiety. These feelings can result when alcohol is metabolized by the body, a process that can take a day or longer to complete. Regular, heavy drinkers may experience higher levels of anxiety, particularly after the alcohol wears off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\"> <\/strong>don\u2019t want to scare people to think that if you go out and you have a few glasses of wine, that you\u2019re going to have a panic attack,\u201d Dr. Balasanova said. \u201cBut certainly the risk is always there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And that risk is higher if you already have an anxiety disorder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ideally, \u201cpeople who are prone to anxiety should avoid heavy drinking, or drinking at all, even if alcohol seems to alleviate anxiety in the short term,\u201d said Jennifer E. Merrill, an associate professor of behavioral and social sciences at Brown University.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-7254e2fd\">The Vicious Cycle of Alcohol and Anxiety<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Scientists don\u2019t fully understand how alcohol and anxiety are linked, but they do know that people with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35780968\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">alcohol use disorder<\/a>, a pattern of frequent drinking that is difficult to control and persists despite distress or problems functioning, have higher risks of developing anxiety disorders and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When you drink alcohol, the brain ramps up the release of a chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, which helps us feel calm. Alcohol also inhibits the release of a neurotransmitter called glutamate, which is associated with anxiety. These disruptions can make people feel more relaxed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But if you become physically dependent on alcohol \u2014 after years of drinking heavily, for example \u2014 the constant ramping up of GABA can cause the brain to produce less of it, and<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>glutamate becomes more dominant. The brain then becomes \u201chyperexcitable,\u201d which can lead to symptoms like panic attacks, said Dr. Kathleen Brady, an addiction expert and professor of psychiatry at the Medical University of South Carolina.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.niaaa.nih.gov\/alcohols-effects-health\/alcohol-drinking-patterns\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Federal health officials<\/a> define heavy drinking as consuming five or more drinks per day (or 15 or more per week) for men, and four or more per day (or eight or more per week) for women.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But, Dr. Brady added, even those who drink moderately \u2014 two or fewer drinks in a day for men and no more than one drink in a day for women \u2014 can experience alcohol-induced panic attacks, particularly if they have an anxiety disorder or have had a panic attack in the past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Alcohol can also cause you to become <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/2012\/02\/even-mild-dehydration-can-alter-mood\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">dehydrated<\/a> or to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/02\/19\/well\/mind\/sleep-mental-health-insomnia.html\" title=\"\">sleep poorly<\/a>, which might make someone feel more anxious than usual, Dr. Balasanova said. Using alcohol to self-soothe and cope with anxiety may only create more anxiety in the long run, she added, perpetuating a vicious cycle.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-1u37br4 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-64ddf2c9\">How to Handle an Alcohol-Induced Panic Attack<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There are ways to cope with a panic attack, regardless of whether it\u2019s caused by alcohol or something else. It is counterproductive to try to fight it or distract yourself, said David Carbonell, a psychologist in Chicago who helps patients with anxiety disorders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">You can, however, take steps to better understand what\u2019s happening in your body and help yourself feel more comfortable. Dr. Carbonell advises his patients to try the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anxietycoach.com\/overcoming-panic-attacks.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">AWARE<\/a> method.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">AWARE is an acronym that involves <strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">acknowledging and accepting<\/strong> that the panic attack is happening: Recognize that you are afraid but not in danger. Then, <strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">wait<\/strong> and observe how you feel. You can try <strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">actions<\/strong> like <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anxietycoach.com\/breathingexercise.html\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">belly breathing<\/a>, but it is important to acknowledge that it isn\u2019t your responsibility to make the panic attack end. <strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Repeat<\/strong> the steps as needed. Regardless of how you respond, a panic attack will generally <strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">end<\/strong> in under 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It\u2019s freeing when you realize you don\u2019t have to work to stop the panic, Dr. Carbonell said. \u201cIn fact, the harder I try to make it end, the more I\u2019m going to be aggravating myself,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If you\u2019re concerned about your alcohol use or anxiety, Dr. Balasanova said, talking through those worries with a primary care doctor or another health care professional like a therapist is a good place to start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/04\/well\/mind\/alcohol-panic-attack.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Sometimes I feel really anxious the day after I drink.
