alcohol

Avatar n tn I'm a 20 year old male, slim to medium build and I suffer from Existential Anxiety Disorder, with panic attacks, depression and hypochondria. Though I know fine and well the aftermath of a night of drinking, something odd's happened a couple of days ago. Myself and my partnet went to a bar on Thursday night. We both drank amounts of alcohol which normally wouldn't give us hangovers the following day.
Avatar f tn Sounds to me like alcohol poisoning. You should see a doctor asap, don't wait to come home.
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 f tn I had a hangover on Saturday, food poisoning Sunday, began a fever on Monday and had the beginning of a cold sore. I tried some every recommendation and it helped with pain. But when I put alcohol on it, it instanstly dried out and started shrinking. I thought cold sores take days to heal. Is this a cold sore or not?
Avatar m tn I vomited last saturday night after alcohol. i wasnt that drunk. I have drank more that amount on many occasions and felt fine the day after. However on the sunday i couldnt eat of drink anything without vomiting. I thought this was only symptoms from a hangover even though i never experienced it before. This has continued for a few days now and im still getting sick. i feel very tired and i my heartbeat is very fast.
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 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, 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 It doesn't sound like you'd be having withdrawals from that weekend but maybe you got alcohol poisoning?
Avatar m tn When you drink remember to be responsible my uncle died of alchol poisoning. Drinking lots of water is important in general so it is especially when you have a hangover.
Avatar f tn m a 15 year old girl and drank gulps of vodka In a short amount of time Saturday afternoon. I threw up everywhere and had some symptoms of alcohol poisoning but I was assured I was going to be okay by some friends of mine so we didn't go to the hospital. i didnt pass out but I felt like absolute ****. I have been drinking a lot of water and tea and eating bread and fruits to try and replenish my body but my head still feels fuzzy and I feel a little out of it.
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 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 What symptoms of a hangover are you talking about? If you're speaking of anxiety, that's most likely not a hangover, but rather the typical after effects of alcohol consumption. Taking Ativan for hangover symptoms would technically considered abuse of your prescription, since that isn't what it's prescribed for, and all around a bad idea.
779797 tn?1263618235 is it different in alcohol as it is in bread? i can eat any type of bread and have no problems. Been tested for wheat allergy and all is fine.
Avatar m tn I imagine I couldnt have been far from alcohol poisoning. The next day I had no appetite, slept on and off all day and threw up a few more times. monday I woke up feeling generally fine, but never really felt like I was awake. Its now thursday and like every other day, my body feels fine..but my head feels foggy and I feel really REALLY tired, like just-woke-up tired but it lasts all day. I've slept decent every night, more than I would normally sleep even.
Avatar m tn You must have really drank a lot to be up until 4am. A week is a long time to be hung over, but I don't know how much you drank. Maybe you got alcohol poisoning from too much drinking. Can you talk to your parents about this, I would definately try. A visit to the doctor might be good to get tests for toxicity in your liver. Depending how often you drink, you should be concerned with harming your liver.
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 m tn Could have had a little alcohol poisoning going on. Hope by now it has passed and try be a little wiser about consuming mass quantities of alcohol next time. You don't mention if you have hepatitis c but as info excessive alcohol consumption and hepatitis c don't mix. Famous last words: I'll never drink again!
Avatar f tn Since going on it (50mcg), I have noticed I experience a sort of hangover even with low alcohol intake (i.e. less than 2 beers). It is not, however, like a normal hangover, but almost like I have ingested too much salt. I will have a headache, but it is not the classic spinning, throbbing, nauseous feeling. Any ideas?
758077 tn?1282595561 I think anyone and everyone who has experienced a panic attack would probably disagree with you on that... Xanax is addictive and very harmful if you abuse it but, in the event of severe anxiety and panic attacks it is still a medication prescribed to HELP relieve your anxiety, whatever the cause, be it alcohol hangover or personal stress, that's what I am most conserned with NOT the amount of peoples drinking.
Avatar f tn i wake up feeling horrible. i get a hangover every time!...i used to be a alcoholic and would rarely get any kind of hangover whatsoever...but now i find the day afters nothing but a nightmare...the back of my ears start to feel pressure..i feel like i cant breathe...i can barely walk...my face starts to go numb and im shaking uncontrollably...im not an alcoholic anymore i finally broke free of that demon and went sober for a very long time...now i might have a drink every 2 weeks at the most.
454863 tn?1208306979 I just dont know anymore about drinking. I mean, I used to love it, I used to go all day doing it, and i have lowered my consistencey with it, which is good, but the days after, i just am not liking it anymore. I feel so groggy today, like i dont really feel myself. Its like someone has taken my brain, and i only drank like 7 or 8 beers last night. I know I dont want to smoke weed anymore, or do other drugs, but alcohol is the hardest for me. Beings it's so easy to get a hold of.
