I'm gassy and nauseous, and light headed, and my heart is racing

[Brookemontague]

I drunk an energy drink, and then a few hours later, I drunk a can of alcohol. Now I feel sick. I'm gassy, nauseous, light headed and my heart is racing. I feel like i am going to puke, but it is just gas. I try to force myself to puke but nothing comes up. HELP! I am crying and I cannot sleep.

When you have anxiety. Alcohol and caffeine can have a negative effect on you. Try to eat some saltine crackers and maybe drink some ginger ale or water. Your heart might be racing because of dehydration. Splash some cold water on your face and lay down elevated. Take a few deep breathes and try to relax.

Try to relax and drink some water. If you have Gas-X (simethicone) around, this will help with the gas feelings. Try not to force yourself to throw up and further stress you and your body out if you do not need to throw up. If you're heaving, allow the body to get rid of what it needs to. Both caffeine and alcohol cause dehydration which in turn causes the heart rate to increase. Both can also make you feel lightheaded (generally speaking, a lot of the medical field isn't too keen on energy drinks and alcohol as it's upper and downers at the same time). This is okay and normal. As you hydrate, things should improve. When you feel like you can get some food down, try some carbs...like Swan mentioned...some crackers. For now, focus on soothing your breathing with exercises, perhaps turn on some music or something that will allow you to relax. Maybe it's a TV show that you watch a lot or a band. Take the focus off of the feelings and allow them to come and go. I have a feeling everything will be okay once you're a little more hydrated and relaxing....especially as two anxiety provoking substances exit your system. Please feel better but remember it will be okay.
