[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone. The seizures are scary enough, but seeing him in the midst of a panic attack is awful and I just can’t help but thing everything is related. Might not be though. [/quote] Mental health/alcohol are related for sure. A lot of alcoholism is self medication for mental health challenges. [/quote] +1 on this. He may have underlying panic or anxiety disorder that he’s self medicating for. Not all alcoholics drink to get “drunk” - he may be drinking large amounts, but steadily and in small doses through the day to just feel “normal” and calm. Seizures and extreme hypertension are not uncommon in acute alcohol withdrawal. It’s one of the very few things where withdrawal can be fatal. While not the only possibility of what’s going on, it’s a likely one. Being athletic, etc. doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a disorder. [/quote]
