The morning after a night of drinking is never fun if you've got a hangover. For most people, hangovers involve a headache, fatigue, thirst or nausea. But some people also report experiencing what many have dubbed"hangxiety" -- feelings of anxiety during a hangover. As the body recovers from a night of drinking, a hangover creates a state of physiological stress. Generally speaking, physiological stress happens when the body is under pressure -- such as from an illness or injury. A hangover kind of works the same way. Not only does it cause changes to our immune system, it also increases cortisol levels , blood pressure and heart rate -- changes which also happen with anxiety.The brain also experiences changes.
In another study, our team looked at how hangovers influence executive functions . Participants were given a series of tasks that tested these mental skills, such as remembering a series of letters and recalling it when prompted.We found that people who were hungover had worse performance in key aspects of executive functions. Executive functions help people cope with anxiety and inhibit anxious thoughts.
