Alcohol can actually trigger panic attacks because it's a stimulant and when you're highly anxious (and sensitised) the last thing your body needs are stimulants!
If you want to beat HA - you have to throw everything at it - including abstaining from the hooch. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Mark - it was a massive bummer for me too - but I got fed up of the 2am panic attacks, racing heart, and feeling like I'd slept in the wheelie bin!
Health anxiety takes a long time to control, and then there's always the potential for the little git to find it's way through a crack, so do yourself a massive favour and stay off the alcohol and stimulants in general. Boring? Yes. But your body will thank you for it..
P.S - what I used to spend on wine, and real ale (weeps) I spend on books, so now I have shit loads of books and a body which is behaving itself. (ish)
