Please help- reaction to tonic water

[SpawningSalmon]

Pls reassure me. I am having a weird reaction to tonic water. I know how strange that sounds. I feel so strange. Really scary. Kids upstairs asleep but otherwise alone. Waiting for 111 call back. :(

In what what do you feel strange?

How much did you drink and when?

Feel like I am on drugs. Weird in the head, shivery, anxious. Horrible. Only drank a glass.

About an hour ago, sipped over an hour.

Could be the quinnine. Call 999 if you feel any worse, do you have a friend who would come and sit with you?

My husband is coming home from work but could be an hour. No friends locally.

Any ideas for a cure? Worried my baby will wake up soon.

Hmmm sounds suspiciously like an anxiety attack. Try to focus on taking deep long breaths and see if that helps?

Quinine, sorry, typing too fast. Any word from 111?

Am familiar with anxiety. It is definitely a reaction to something. No call back yet. I think it might be easing.

It does sound like a panic attack, but I also get panicky feelings with reactions so you should get checked if you continue to feel strange.

Yes I'd suggest panic attack too - afaik most people would need to drink an enormous amount of tonic water to suffer any quinine side effects. That said, a small amount of people are allergic - is your breathing ok? Any rash? Could you take an antihistamine?
