Common Questions and Answers about Alcohol allergy sinus

alcohol

Avatar n tn This happened 26 years ago and after visits to ear specialists and sinus doctor we pinpointed it to an allergy to beer, my favorite alcoholic drink. Then I quit drinking alcohol completely. A month ago, the vertigo returned. When I get it, it comes on fast, causing me to vomit, An MRI on my brain shows no abnormalities, bleeding or lesions. An ear, nose and throat specialist saw no infection in my outer ear. He did prescribe a decongestant and antihistamine.
Avatar m tn This could be due to a sinus infection, a cold or a chronic allergy. It could be sinusitis, if it is accompanied by nasal stuffiness and facial pain or pressure. Post nasal drip could also be due to allergens. These are substances like pollen, dust, animal dander, certain foods, insect venoms and certain medications. Exposure to allergens causes a runny nose with a resultant post nasal drip where secretions from the nose go backward into the throat and irritate..
Avatar n tn i've had an allergy to alcohol,or as i describe it intolerance,for some years,dont get me wrong,i went out every weekend as a teenager,worse for wear on several occastions,but now i cant touch a drop,as when i do,i feel sick(as i am drinking it,not the morning after!
Avatar m tn The pressure you feel in the bridge of your nose is where the ethmoid sinus is located, this could be inflamed. The best way to get to the bottom of your sinus issues is to see an ENT. A good examination inside the nose with a camera might give the ENT more information as well as a CT scan of the sinuses. If it is a chronic sinus infection, 4-6 weeks of antibiotics are pretty standard in addition to nasal steroid sprays, oral steroids, and salt water irrigations of the sinuses.
Avatar n tn I had sinus allergy intermittently for about 50 years that gave me terrible headaches, 'stupid' brain (not thinking as well as normally), and tiredness. I never did have a sinus infection though, just allergy to pollen, dust, perfumes, cleaning products, etc. Antihistamines would lessen the swelling and congestion but did not help my thinking at all. I have solved this problem for the past 15 years by following the blood-type diet Eat Right 4 Your Type.
Avatar f tn It definitely sounds like you could have some type of allergy to alcohol! I have a friend who has very similar symptoms after drinking but his normally starts within about 6 hours of having a couple of drinks. Alcohol allergies at some level is surprisingly more common than most people think. My advice, talk to your Dr. about it just to make sure its nothing more serious ie: liver issues. Good luck!
779797 tn?1263618235 s called intoxication, not allergy. None of your symptoms point to an alcohol allergy. I suggest you stay away from it. Why make matters worse? Have you seen a doctor for any of these symptoms? Something as simple as an inner ear problem can also cause dizziness. Allergies can pop up out of nowhere. Did you test positive for anything?
Avatar m tn Avoid wine and alcohol products if you know that they trigger an asthma/ allergy attack. There are already a number of wines without the preservatives that causes the allergy. But have yourself tested first with what you are allergic to.
Avatar m tn Fatigue was setting in a lot and I had an incedent at work where I was hungover and I had brain fog all day and I drank a rockstar and went to the hospital because i thought my heart was going to explode lol. Turns out I was having a panic attack. Next all sorts of sinus and allergy problems started happening. I had allergy shots which didnt seem to help. Basic blood tests were done and no other illness was ruled in.
Avatar f tn Regarding the allergic reaction to alcohol,it is usually not the alcohol that produces the allergic reaction to the wine or beer. The other ingredients in the alcohol, such as yeast, sulfur dioxide, and additives are often the culprits. Beer may contain a variety of ingredients, including barley, corn, wheat, and rye that may precipitate an allergic reaction. Since the allergens have not been identified in your case,so I would advise you to get allergy testing done.
Avatar n tn I have random urine drug screens and random blood screens for alcohol. Am wanting to take Tylenol sinus congestion medicine. The ingredients are acetaminophen, guaifenesin, and phenylephrine. Will any of those ingredients caus a positive drug or alcohol test?
Avatar m tn ) Upper jaw tooth pain, headache Painful sensation in bottom of maxillary sinus when trying to drain sinus rinse (before passage fully closes off, like trying to shake water out of ears) Malaise, irritable Change in voice and appetite Sensitivity to noises, ringing in ears Sometimes a low grade fever Treatment: prednisone + Avelox and/or Vantin. Vantin alone cleared last infection. Two 4+ week antibiotic courses in 2007 and 2009. Symptoms clear quickly after starting antibiotic.
1152061 tn?1262040956 Sore throats can mean many things. Your post is so incredibly basic for a post to allergy forum, that you probably believe you have allergies, and you may very well have them. Only way to know is to get the tests.
Avatar m tn I would go to the Dr and I would get allergy shots (cortisone) and/or antibiotics for sinus infections, but all was futile. There would be temporary relief though. I never knew I had HCV until this past December, so never associated these symptoms with that. Always thought it was just extreme allergy/sinus problems that got worse as I got older. This said, I have had some dry eyes that began recently, I think it is just from the ribavirin and anemia drying the body out. Eye drops help this.
Avatar f tn Some remidies actually make the pain worse. I have tried different pain relivers, migraine meds, sinus sprays, sinus rinses and allergy medications. I have had very minor allergies all of my life. The most significant one was to sever temporature changes that caused hives and breathing issues. I have mild congestion but have never had any sinus infections. Looking for some different type of treatment that might be effective in stopping the problem for more than just a few hours.
1392153 tn?1428624323 You should be checked for allergies, possibly including allergy SKIN testing and allergy shots considered. You should also be evaluated for GERD as it can cause chronic cough. Sinus infection has probably been ruled out, but what about non-allergic rhinitis? Keep working at finding an answer and hold your dr accountable to help you. Remember, he is your employee. You pay for his services, therefore he works for you.
Avatar f tn I do notice it gets worse if I have salty food, lack of sleep and alcohol. I think it may be a sinus thing. Let me know if you find domething that works.
Avatar m tn I had an allergy to alcohol. It gave me asthma that once was so sudden and severe that I was blacking out. Luckily my dinner partner was a doctor. I was subsequently cured of the allergy. The throat problem certainly sounds like allergy, except for the delay in your reaction. It should be immediate. It seems more likely that alcohol or some additive in the alcohol is toxic for you. If that is the case you should never drink anything alcoholic.
Avatar f tn I have allergy and don't know what to take for it... those any one know what I can take...
Avatar m tn I was under extreme stress and consuming alcohol. I went to the doctor and she took a culture of one of the sores and told me it was positive for HVS2. Now prior to that i was having recurrent sinus infections and being prescribed many rounds of antibiotics but they would always come back.Two years ago i had mono and ever since then i have never felt good. Always tired and achey and out of it and constantly getting sinus infections and then i was told i had HSV2.
