A Relationship Between Alcohol and Panic Attack by Carol Hofmeister


When it comes to chronic panic attack disorder, drinking alcohol is
perhaps the worst thing a person could do. Most panic attack sufferers
tend to be more susceptible to the effect of such depressants as
alcohol.

Medical professionals will agree that alcohol and panic attacks do not
mix. Doctors suggest that panic sufferes cut down on their alcohol
consumption. As panic attacks are often caused by depression, the
effect of alcohol can lead to more frequent occurrences of panic. It
can also lead to an increased chance of causing depression, and the
cycle augments.

Excess consumption of alcohol can be one of the main causes of
frequent panic attacks. The depressing effect of the alcohol can cause
a person to dwell on the unwanted stressors that trigger their panics.
This only increases the likelihood of more frequent and stronger
attacks.

Will just one Drink Hurt?

A person who experiences panic, even frequent panic, is not completed
excluded from drinking. Is is the excessive use and abuse of alcohol
that is discouraged. A drink or two to relax is acceptable. When a
person takes their drinking too far is when the real problems begin to
arise.

Panic attacks are dangerous. Once the relationship between alcohol and
panic attack experiences are truly understood, it will become apparent
to the person what he must do. Everyone has different limits, and
different alcoholic thresholds. The key is to know your limit and to
not step over it. Most people suffering from chronic panic attacks can
tell you that a panic attack is extremely unpleasant. It isnâEURO(tm)t worth
having, even if it means passing up that extra drink.
