Blood alcohol vs breathalyzer
Common Questions and Answers about Blood alcohol vs breathalyzer
alcohol
Ethanol = alcohol. < 1.0 sounds like a reference range or cut off level for detection. Is this in relation to a urine test?
A breathalyzer measures the alcohol in your breath and then the reading is an estimate of your blood alcohol content. Having low RBC (from treatment drugs, for example) may raise the result.
I'm not aware of liver disease itself causing any variation in readings.
My RBCs are low and the last hemoglobin a1c I had done (I'm T1 diabetic) was 0.037 which I can tell you for sure, is EXTREMELY low. However, this measurement is an average of three months.
I worked until 10am and started coughing again. Took some Robitussin. The supervisor said he could smell alcohol on my breath (my wife and car pool people could not). Had company breathalyzer. Registered a .048. I was terminated.
How could I have registered on the breathalyzer? I have the liver damage. Haven't had a phlebotomy for quite some time. Don't know what my hematocrit level is.
alcohol is not detected in urine.......drugs are.Alcohol content in blood is calibrated with a breathalyzer machine and depending on how long you drank for and within a certain time frame it can show up within a 24 hr.period.Alcohol is metabolized in the body in two ways-carbon dioxide......breathing it out of your system when it has gone thru the bloodstream and then the system flushes it in urination.
He performed a breathalyzer test on the gentleman who cooperated fully, and to his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no eveidence of the man having consumed any alcohol at all!
Dumfounded, the officer said,'I'll have to ask you to accompany
me to headquarters.
This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.'
'I doubt it,' said the now not so drunk man.
'Tonight I'm the designated decoy.
hello. absolutely. even a small amount of alcohol. a breathalyzer reading would not be altered, but if you are this concerned, you are probably being impaired by the combination enough to be dangerous behind the wheel.
oops sorry i did!ok i broke this down into US measurement of ounces in a pint and your weight and time frame consumed in....if u'd been driving ur blood alcohol would be in the .12 range which is a good range of being buzzed....someone could've put something in ur drink...its always possible...especially if u went 2 the loo and left the open bottle or glass on the bar!
I've been court ordered to use a breathalyzer device called Soberlink.I was wondering if anyone has also used it or knows anything about it at all?
I am 32 and alcoholic of about 9 yrs. But started getting cold chills only once or twice a month and sweating weather I have drank anything or not. When I don't eat its worse but my blood sugar seems to always be kind of in range but fluctuates a lot. I did have to go to the Er before because I hadn't drank in days and a breathalyzer said differently so they gave me a blood test nothing in my system...
One of the best tests I ever heard of is the two drink test. Can you feel comfortable having just two drinks and then stop without wanting another one? Not one, not a bunch, but just two? Alcoholism involves not just drinking but our reaction to alcohol. I'm an alcoholic. Once I start all bets are off. The first drink will make me want more; the first drink technically is the one that gets me looped in that manner.
The focus on how important normal blood pressure is, and how dangerous high blood pressure is, can make anyone anxious and produce false blood pressure results. And 149/80 is just mildly elevated. Anxiety will make the blood pressure increase in everyone. It's a normal response.
In Norway, almost no one get the diagnosis of high blood pressure without a 24 hour monitoring, to reveal the true blood pressure.
have your doctor do some blood work to make sure that it's not a kidney problem. They usually show up in blood work. Also dehydration can cause kidney problems. and if your kidneys hurt is' the lower back where it's going to show. Figure out how much water you drink in a day (vs. when you have a beer etc.) and any other medical conditions you might have. (And dude, you are 26 years old, what is up with you typing like a 12 year old??
I went back to Urgent Care and they gave me a couple of breathing treatments, one was a nebulizer, the other was like an alcohol breath test like I see on TV (I had to take a deep breath and blow out for a few seconds). They took an additional set of chest/lung x-rays. A little while later they came to tell me they were sending me to the emergency room because they thought my heart was enlarged (bigger than its normally supposed to be), high blood pressure, and pneumonia.
Hi, I'm a ~41 year old male. I recently had blood work done and found my Testosterone is a little low. The "Free" Testosterone was 45 and the "Total, MS" was 217. It was recommended I get injections every 4 days to get those numbers up to at least 500.
In doing a little extra research of my own (because I was curious if there are natural ways to boost my numbers), I can't help but notice a lot of this could be due to diet and alcohol consumption.
