High anxiety and depression is a usual state for alcohol addicted persons. The solution is to stop drinking, usually with help from AA or a substance abuse program. For people who drink moderately, whether it is to self-medicate anxiety or for more benign reasons, it is a good idea not to drink in the evening for at least two hours before going to bed. The general rule is that your system metabolizes the alcohol from one drink every hour. So you might be able to have two drinks, whether they be cocktails or glasses of wine with dinner, earlier in the evening.
Moderation is always the best idea.
What You Eat Many people suspect that a change in diet will help their attacks. Foods that may contain a substance call tyramine can cause a breathing reaction and bring on tension or migraine headaches. Tyramine containing foods can be eliminated from the diet to see if that is a help. Food allergies are difficult to determine and call for the help of an allergist to help pinpoint which food is causing a problem, if any. Some people have been helped, however, by learning about a food allergy and avoiding that food in their diet.
