Suggest Treatment For Anxiety Caused By Alcohol Consumption
Hi I m a 23 year old healthy female. Two nights ago I drank heavily. I m not a usual drinker, maybe a few nights a month but nothing this heavy. The day after my head felt fuzzy and confused. My anxiety is severe and my right arm is very weak. I had some muscle tremors in my legs as well. Waking up today, my anxiety is still pretty bad but I m more concerned that my right arm and hand is still very weak. Should I go to the doctors?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to irritation of heart due to alcohol. Taking ECG ( EKG ) will be helpful to rule out any dysrhythmias in heart. In such case taking short course of anxiolytics or betablocker like metaprolol will be helpful to clear this. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
