Ive never had your symptoms from heavy drinking, but I have had them from anxiety over a girl. After doing an EKG on myself at work some minor heart damage was found.

Your advice to yourself is the best anyone will give you. Slow down the drinking and chill out. If the anxiety keeps going strong you can see a general practitioner and he will prescribe some mild, short term antianxiety meds. If you ask about your heart he will ask you if you want to see a cardiologist. If you see a cardiologist he will run some tests, stress tests, ecgs, etc, and tell you to slow down the drinking and chill out because its effecting your heart.

If it keeps happening or gets worse go see a general practioner. It might save your life. You wont get shooed away or have your chest cracked open. Most of us fall somewhere in the middle. A lot of people may be saying they have had these symptoms while they are drunk, but most people in America die from a heart condition.

Good luck Keith. Its clear you really love this girl, so find something that takes your mind off of the fact that she is gone for a while besides beer. Find something she will be proud of you for when she gets back.
