Have you been to a doc?
I have had racing heartbeat LOADS of times and went to the ER a lot when my anxiety first started swearing I was having a heart attack each and every time.

Alcohol is a depressant and can numb anxiety feeling while you are under the influence but when it wears off you can feel worse because not only is your body trying to process the overload of alcohol but the anxiety is still there.

Thank you, to tell you the truth i came on here while i was panicing, just as a reassurance. But from what i have read calmed me down and feel loads better now. Im going to go to the doctors tomorrow to see what he thinks to see if its panic attacks. Thanks for all your help and ill see you around the forums :)
