Hi Sir,

I understand your concern,

Many of your symptoms are directly related to alcohol consumption.

Alcohol can also lead to irregular heart beat and fluctuations in blood pressure.

Yes Olmezest is ideal in your case to maintain BP control.

Complete abstinence from alcohol will lead to resolution of all symptoms including anxiety in your case.
