alcohol

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.
1260255 tn?1288654564 She listened to me and took everything I said very seriously. Somehow, I neglected to tell her that my medical history includes lead poisoning, something I mention to every doctor for both me and my son. The lead poisoning was back in the early 90's and the exposure lasted for at least 18 months, while I was pregnant and for at least the first 15. mos. of my son's life. Source was dump burning, 2 to 3 times a week and the dump included lead baased paint tins and marine batteries.
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 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 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 So did they treat you for alcohol poisoning?What was your blood alcohol level?
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 m tn I'm not real sure if this is where I should post this but my boyfriend went out last night and drank about 15 beers and said he had 1 1/2 liquor drinks on top of that. Normally each night he consumes about 6 or more beers a night. On a few occasions his body gets splotchy - chest & head only - and has a very hard time breathing - about to pass out - and gets chills. He has gone to the emergency room many times for this but no one seems to know what it is.
Avatar m tn t keep multiple things in mind at a time.Is it alcohol poisoning or something else.i consulted a psychiatrist and he said it was becoz of sensitivity.If itz a case of sensitivity ,why I m experiencing problems still now after 3 weeks .On the contrary if itz poisoning ,how can small amount of ethanol cause poisoning..?
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 ppl can develop diabetes as they age and not keeping up with medical exams it would go undetected until they got sick....alcohol aggravates diabetes bigtime!lot of sugar in alcohol that occurs during fermentation process of making it!
2095286 tn?1333103655 Fomepizole is an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase is a safe and effective in the treatment of methanol poisoning. Initial treatment is with ethanol. Hope this helps.
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 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.
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 m tn If its not going to stop you that is indeed sad.If you seriously want to stop,you would need medical assistance for an alcohol withdrawal- minus this can be fatal!
Avatar f tn When one has alcohol poisoning they FEEL it several hours after consuming a LOT of alcohol which you do not specify how much consumed,your body weight and number of drinks.People generally lapse into a stupor and need immediate medical assistance.Thats a LOT of drinking you noted having done!Might need to re-visit/rethink future choices in this area!
Avatar f tn I remember throwing up and then passing out again. I slept for 8 hour. I read that alcohol poisoning can cause dehydration, leading to low blood pressure and low supply of oxygen to the brain. Also, that alcohol in high doses can slow your breathing, also causing inadequate supply of oxygen to the brain. Did I suffer alcohol poisoning? What are the chances that I my brain starved of oxygen while I was passed out? It’s possible that I suffered some kink of brain damage from this single episode?
Avatar m tn For 10 months I have had global paresthesia (every part of my body) and have been evaluated for diabetes, heavy metal poisoning, VB12 deficiency, too much VB6, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, lyme disease, and with EMG study.. Diagnosis is idiopathic central nervous system disorder. Treatment is for symptoms - gabapentin and alprazolam.
Avatar f tn Poison control are great about giving advice on toxic indigestions but they do not know exactly how much your baby ingested and generally speaking, neither do you. Your baby is at risk for possible alcohol poisoning. Hand sanitizer that contains strong fragrance are much more dangerous then those that do not, as they continue a higher alcohol percent. I recommend you have your baby taken to the hospital!! I can't believe your baby drank enough to get sick from, it taste horrible!!!
498656 tn?1213446919 "I cannot drink responsibly and 1 drink leads me to 7-9 drinks until I pass out." There are plenty of alcoholics on this forum who understand what you mean about not being able to stop but at some point you have two options - drink or die. I'd doubt that drinking will be a problem for you for very much longer - once your liver becomes cirrhotic and you need a transplant maybe it will be the trigger you need to quit before you die.
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....
