I have brain tumour anxiety, and I read somewhere that drinking can make the tumour worse so I'm not sure if my anxiety is giving this reaction or what.
Seems like every time I take a drink, or even a sip of alcohol, I get this pain and sometimes a heavy feeling in either my legs, arms, or chest area. Sometimes it comes right away at my first sip, or it doesn't come at all until a few drinks in. I've noticed this in the last couple of years (im 20), but it seems like when I had a drink at 15 I never got this reaction. Most recently, I had a mixed drink and I felt this really gassy feeling in the centre of my chest. I started burping a lot, but the odd feeling in my chest stayed the entire night. I stopped drinking after the first two sips because it really scared me.
This really bugs me because I'm not a heavy drinker, but sometimes I want to have a couple drinks with my family or bf and I can't because I'm scared something will happen! :(
Anyone get an alike reaction?
