Alcohol & anxiety

[somewhatavoidant]

Am away on lovely holiday with DH and ds. Tend to drink too much wine normally anyway but after a few heavy nights on hols I'm suffering from feelings of panic and anxiety. I've got numbness in my hands and lower right arm and although terrified of what I might find, I looked up the symptoms on patient.co.uk and turns out that excessive alcohol can cause it. I know I have to quit/dramatically cut back on the jar for a start but can anyone offer any words of wisdom or comfort. Looking for (numb) hand holding really

I know when I drink several days running or if I feel a bit hungover then I get anxious and low. Are you taking any meds that might not mix well with the alcohol? Maybe have a day off the sauce and see if that helps

Thanks alittlebitmeh, am drinking copious amounts of water and trying to calm myself down. The more I think about it, the more the numb hands has to be drink related. I first had it about 2 years ago and got really freaked out convinced I had something sinister. It's happened occasionally since but yesterday and today particularly noticeable. I have a gorgeous ds. I really need to cop myself on.
