Avatar n tn I asked for help on here a couple weeks ago for my alcohol intolerance/allergy. The first couple of times I ever drank I my forearms would swell up and break out in hives and itch very badly. I haven't gotten the hives in a while but my forearms still swell up and itch. Someone on here told me that I should take an antihistamine such a levocetrizine or cetrizine. I took 1 Zyrtec and I felt fine for a couple of hours but my arms eventually swelled up and started to itch again.
Avatar f tn So it is my opinion that your are experiencing an allergy like response. It may happen with all alcohol or you may find that there is only one type or one brand that you can consume. I am sorry that this happens to you. If it is the alcohol it should also happen when you take a cough medication or mouthwash that also contains alcohol. If it is important to you than I would suggest that you consult an allergist. Best of luck to you.
Avatar m tn I don't have any pain at all -- its almost like a muscle -- hardlike. I am not sure what it might be.. I don't feel strange but its annoying -- its almost like my saliva gland in the upper cheek area is swollen but as I said it doesn't hurt. It's kind of like I am growing jowels.. I know I have to lose some weight -- not obese but I got that winter weight that needs to go for sure. Any other ideas would be appreciated greatly.

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 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 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!
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 f tn I've heard of this alcohol allergy before. They actually refer to it as alcohol intolerance. It can build over time. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alcohol-intolerance/symptoms-causes/syc-20369211 They can do a skin test and/or a blood test to help determine if this is going on. Certainly, avoid the culprit that causes these symptoms. Not worth it!
954814 tn?1247191128 ve had terrible pain in the meninge for days or weeks after alcohol - even only some red wine in a sauce. An allergy test showed I had a sulphite allergy, and as long as I stay away from sulphites I'm fine. Taking a large dose of vitamin B12 gets rid of the pain. Unfortunately, I now have very itchy lymph nodes and am being tested for Hodgkin's Disease.
Avatar f tn org/posts/Neurology/Skin-Pain-After-Drinking-Alcohol/show/1722262 Do you feel this could be an alcohol allergy? It does sound like this is something too look into. Hives and itchiness of skin are common with alcohol allergy. Here is some information on alcohol intolerance. https://www.mayoclinic.
Avatar f tn As I waited for my appointment with a neurologist, other symptoms appeared. My body was itchy and burning, I had muscle spasms and pain, the pain and spasms came along with burning sensations. My neck began hurting so much I felt as if my head was too heavy for it. I had tingling and numbing sensations all over, even on my lips and tongue. I also experienced migranes. I remember having such a bad migrane one saturday morning and ever since I now see visual floaters.
Avatar n tn Even a possibility to alcohol poisoning! Not worth taking the risk again by drinking alcohol for any reason (: Best wishes.
Avatar f tn The issue here is that last summer was my first time drinking and I got pretty drunk, but since then any little tiny sip of alcohol causes nausea. Just wanted to add that last summer I could drink without a problem.
Avatar n tn you can have pain in the liver area while your liver is getting better..shrinking....so that pain may be one of the good pains..could take 3 to 6 months to slowly feel better..the liver takes time to regenerate..and it's common to have all kinds of withdrawal problems for sometimes 6 months to a year...changeing your diet,losing weight,and having anxiety can hurt...so could be your doc was right..diet and exercise..it's most likely that simple..but give it time...
Avatar m tn I went to 3 doctors and all attributed my symptoms to muscle spasms due to my dust allergy. Today I again experienced the feeling that there is something in my throat so I stuck my finger in it just to make sure that nothing is there. I felt quite a large bump on the back of my tounge. I can't see it but I can touch it with my fingers. Is this thing normal? Could it cause the swallowing difficulties and do you think that doctors might have left it unnoticed? Please help!
Avatar n tn sometimes it feels as if my ribs are jumping over one another causing terrible pain,i don't know if that is the problem or muscel cramping
Avatar n tn The severe form of acute alcoholic myopathy is associated with the sudden onset of muscle pain, swelling, and weakness; a reddish tinge in the urine caused by myoglobin, a breakdown product of muscle excreted in the urine; and a rapid rise in muscle enzymes in the blood. Avoidance of alcohol is the main treatment available. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
