Anxiety for days because of drinking? |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: I was in Cancun for a whole week, drinking every day mostly rum and coke but plenty of pina coladas. I never drank to the point where I got drunk, only slightly buzzed. Not to mention I would lay out in the hot sun and hardly drank any water all week. I would drink tea in the morning and other sugary drinks throughout the day but not water. It's been about a week since I've been back from Cancun and I've been having anxiety to the point where I had to take a week off from work. Is it possible to have anxietyhangover symptoms for this long after I stopped drinking for a week already? Thanks! Dear Gina: Dehydration due to both, drinking and the hot sun, may the cause of prolonged anxiety in your case. You need to increase your water intake to maintain adequate hydration. You may also see your doctor for some anxiety relieving medication for early recovery.
