Avatar f tn Thanks for all your comments. He apparently found out that the CT exam done since are normal. I was very surprised and am still doubtful. I guess time will tell......
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 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 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 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 hi. it would depend on how fast it was consumed and how well her body metabolizes the alcohol. 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 m tn My sister gets that. I have never heard her say that sunblock makes any difference -- in her case anyway, it seems to be from the heat on the skin. Talk to your doctor. In the meantime, wear sleeves and a hat.
Avatar n tn I just found out that I am pregnant! Woo hoo! I am wondering how you guys turn down alcohol in front of family and friends? I will be going to a big weekend wedding that will last 3 days and interested in tips how to navigate that without raising eye brows. Thanks!
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 m tn ve done a lot of research about lead and I know how lead poisoning occurs, as well as the fact that yellow traffic striping has some of the highest lead content in it. My question is: is stepping around (or something on top of) these paint chips subjecting me to dangerous levels of lead over the long term (I plan to be working there for quite awhile)? If so, is there anything I can do to eliminate that risk? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar n tn Even a possibility to alcohol poisoning! Not worth taking the risk again by drinking alcohol for any reason (: Best wishes.
Avatar n tn How can you tell if you have permanent injuries from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning? If you still have problems several months after expose, will the problems be permanent? Such as headaches, confusion, eye problems, chest pain. Also, can Carbon Monoxide Poisoning cause problems with your eyes, such as Optic Disc Drusen, or make this condition worse?
Avatar n tn you go to hospital the tell you you have alcohol poisoning then leave next you can sto p throwing up you are 66 years old how do you help aperson from dead the drink 8 gallons of moonshine in 8 days 1 gallon aday help for a friend.in the hill of ky.
Avatar m tn So did they treat you for alcohol poisoning?What was your blood alcohol level?
Avatar n tn Other causes include the use of some drugs (such as amphetamines, caffeine, corticosteroids, and drugs used for certain psychiatric disorders), alcohol abuse or withdrawal, mercury poisoning, overactive thyroid or liver failure. Tremors can be an indication of hypoglycemia, along with palpitations, sweating and anxiety. Some forms of tremor are inherited and run in families, while others have no known cause.
Avatar n tn Vomiting after poisoning with staphylococcus aureus may appear in 30 minutes after eating. Clostridium perfringens need 6-24 hours...These two bacteria produce toxins, so stomach inflammation is actually due to toxins and not bacteria itself. If the food was contaminated before cooking, and food not refrigerated, toxins were released into a food before cooking. With cooking, bacteria were killed, but not toxins. This occurs with staph. Clostridium may survive cooking in the form of spores.
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 f tn It is rarely visible to the eye and may be heightened by strong emotion (such as anxiety or fear), physical exhaustion, hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, heavy metal poisoning, stimulants, alcohol withdrawal or fever. It can be seen in all voluntary muscle groups and can be detected by extending the arms and placing a piece of paper on top of the hands. Enhanced physiologic tremor is a strengthening of physiologic tremor to more visible levels.
