Acute alcohol poisoning treatment

Common Questions and Answers about Acute alcohol poisoning treatment

alcohol

Avatar n tn Was probably alcohol poisoning .There are acute stages in both viral and bacterial hepatitis. The doctor should tested you for hepatitis,in which case you would know. If your case was poisoning rather than infection it will resolve if you abstain. If it is,or was, an infection then it would require treatment. I suspect the doctor has diagnosed it as the former. The mystery is you say you don't drink to excess. The answer lies in blood tests for Hep A, B, and C.
Avatar m tn a persons tolerance can increase through repeated abuses, but in general that type of drinking indicates an increased potential risk of developing full blown alcoholism in addition to acute alcohol poisoning. to answer your question, yes, that could be at worst fatal, and at best a prelude to disaster.
Avatar n tn t get all of what she said, but I understood that I had been diagnosed with acute alcohol intoxication (alcohol poisoning), that I spent the night in a vodka-induced coma and that I could've died. I think she said my blood alcohol content was 500 or .50. They kept me under observation all afternoon, tested my urine, and I had to call my parents to pick me up. After that, I had the most awful hangover for a week.

Avatar f tn Hi Dear Alcohol is a potent depressant of the central nervous system (brain in particular) and activates the inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain. The acute effects of alcohol depend on the concentration of alcohol in the blood (directly correlated with the amount and time of drinking). Initially, alcohol generally produces feelings of relaxation and cheerfulness, but further consumption can lead to blurred vision and coordination problems.
Avatar n tn My friend died of alcohol poisoning with a BAC of 0.70 does this not seem extremely high, is this possible?
Avatar m tn Think of it as getting lucky this time. There are only so many times you can drink until you have alcohol poisoning without some permanent damage to your liver. Take it from someone that knows. Diagnosed 03-23-10 end stage cirrhosis.
Avatar m tn Sounds like a bad reaction with another drug you had in your system at the time. 6 oz of beer is not enough to do anything. You symptoms are indicative of another problem and you should see a medical professional.
Avatar m tn t urinate for some reason except once after I started drinking (and I just found out every time you urinate 10% of it leaves your body) and I drank on an empty stomach. Is that enough that I got a small case of alcohol poisoning? I woke up puking everywhere which I never do unless I'm REALLY sick and I was shivering even though my family member says it was hot in here and I don't get cold easily on top of that and I was confused and other unpleasant things.
Avatar m tn My guess is that your liver is at its limit for processing alcohol and that you are experiencing acute alcohol poisoning. If you do not get control of this The damage can be irreversible. One of the most horrific deaths out there is liver failure and liver cancer One suffers so much.. I pray you get a handle on this and go for help as it is dangerous to cold turkey alcohol.
Avatar f tn t show any other signs of alcohol poisoning so I was wondering if there was another thing less fatal than alcohol poisoning.
Avatar f tn due to a bout with what I thought was food poisoning and on occasion having indigestion, acid reflux and nausea once in while I decided to have lab work done...tested positive for H Pylori and my liver enzymes were elevated (350) I don't drink, don't take any medicines on a routine basis...for about a week I took Ibuprofen, rolaids and even dramamine. My vitamin d level was low (23). The Nurse Practitioner who ordered the lab work prescribed meds for H Pylori, which I am still taking....
Avatar n tn * Avoid drinking alcohol. Alcohol speeds the progression of liver disease. * Avoid medications that may cause liver damage. Your doctor can advise you about these medications, which may include over-the-counter (OTC) medications as well as prescription drugs. It's especially important to avoid using acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), which can cause liver damage even in healthy people. * Eat the healthiest diet you can.
Avatar f tn If he has a virus and drinks thats another situation. People die from acute alcohol poisoning when they are on a bing and the liver cant filter the amount of alcohol going through the liver at the same time.. So he could have cirrohiss of the liver from alcohol intake and not any of the virus.

Avatar f tn In July of 2015 I binge drank extremely heavy (Vodka)from severe anxiety over discontinuing a pain med. Very stupid move. I believe I caused alcohol poisoning after researching. I don't drink at all normally but I was desperate for relief. In August I became symptomatic, upper right quadrant, lower right rib and tenderness. My Gi Dr did an ultrasound and CT scan, liver work up. All normal.Now I feel worse, very weak, same pain a little more frequent.
Avatar f tn I drank one of his alcoholic beverages. It has been a year since I drank it. The drink he made contains %40-45 of alcohol and I drank approximately 400-500 ml of it. I didn't feel bad that night except being drunk. I slept well and even though I have headache too often, I didn't even suffer from headache that day. The thing that I am worried about, is it possible that the alcohol I drank can be methanol and I survived it?
Avatar n tn RNA based virus that highjacks liver cells to do the work of the virus instead of the proper liver cell function (filtering out garbage like alcohol, drugs, chemicals, other stuff that should not be there). RNA viruses are not the strongest so some people's immune systems manage to clear it. Usually does not show symptoms until the liver is wrecked. Some people live their whole lives with it and keep it at bay.
1030383 tn?1338460785 I just got results back saying ALT=153, AST=204. Usually the ALT is always higher! So I checked a couple places and it said "could indicate cirrhosis." Is this true? Also my viral load has gone from just over 1 million to almost 6 million. Plus I feel like crap all the time, it's been getting worse for the past 6 months or so.... Maybe time to think about treatment, I don't know? (I have psychiatric issues, that's the main reason I've been putting it off....
Avatar f tn Hi, I am a 24 year old female from the UK. I drank once or twice a week socially up until about 3 months ago. I went out one night, had around 5 vodka and cokes. Went home and couldn't sleep. Around 3 hours after my last drink, I was wide awake with stomach pains, diarrhoea, nausea and my whole body was shaking uncontrollalbly. Right before it happens my hands and feet and then my whole body go extremely cold.
Avatar f tn For the past few days I took a lot of Tylenol and drank a good bit of beer. First day I took about 4.3 grams of Tylenol which is a little over the recommended...2nd day I took about 3.5 grams,next day I think I took 4 grams again . All these nights I drank alcohol. It's been 79 hours since I last took Tylenol. The only symptom I have is pain on my right side. Not so much right upper but lower and on the sides. I kinda feel bloated.
