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 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 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 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 My blood aunt is actually fighting Lymphoma Non-Hodgkins and I want to know, is my pain after consuming alcohol a sign of Lymphoma or Hodgkins? Or is it more so possible that its something else?
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 Our reaction to alcohol is what makes us alcoholics, not how much we drink. The best way to describe it is an allergy to alcohol. When we drink all bets are off. We end up with consequences. Her relationship with you was based on the Tony before the bottle of Vodka. When you become that Tony again, things will change for the better. But the most important thinking in sobriety is to be sober for YOU and you alone. Learn to love yourself. All else will follow.
Avatar f tn That is VERY possible Please be careful if you think you have an allergy to alcohol. A dear friend of mine started off with slight symptoms when he drank...they progressed over time...he began to get very violent when drinking ( after only one drink!)...one night he simply stopped breathing after only having one swallow of beer. As with ANY allergy, you never know when the severity may change.
Avatar f tn Hi, welcome to the forum, alcohol is known to cause flushing in some individuals. You are not allergic to alcohol. It causes direct vasodilation of the skin, related either to alcohol directly or its metabolite, acetaldehyde. Alcohol is oxidized to acetaldehyde in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). This acetaldehyde is further converted to acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.
Avatar m tn First, stop drinking so much. Second, eat a healthy diet. Third, go to a doctor and get tested for a gluten allergy.
Avatar m tn Hello and hope you are doing well. Steroids are unlikely to cause these reactions. Steroids are given to control allergic or inflammatory responses, so they are unlikely to cause allergic reactions. The symptom described by you could be due to neuropathy. It is a disorder of the nerves which causes numbness, tingling, unusual sensations and sometimes pain. Diabetes Mellitus can cause neuropathy.
Avatar n tn You are not allergic alcohol. It causes direct vasodilation of the skin, related either to alcohol directly or its metabolite, acetaldehyde. Alcohol is oxidized to acetaldehyde in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). This acetaldehyde is further converted to acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. In some individuals due to abnormal or deficient acetaldehyde dehydrogenase will cause accumulation of acetaldehyde which is a potent trigger of flushing.
Avatar n tn I used to be able to drink beer, wine, or liquor and never had any problems (even if I drank a lot). Then, in my mid-20's I developed either alcohol intolerance or an alcohol allergy. I didn't have restricted breathing but I did have a runny nose and a very noticeable increased heart rate. I'd get this after just one drink, and it didn't matter if it was beer, wine, or liquor.

Avatar m tn First, I would want to rule out Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) Cut out/cut down on alcohol, tobacco, coffee, chocolate and peppermint. Wait at least 2 hours after having your evening meal and before going to bed. Over-the-counter medicines Prevacid taken WITH either Pepcid or Zantac will decrease the stomach acid causing the GERD symptoms. Sleeping with a wedge under your mattress so your chest is higher than your stomach may help. If you could stand to lose a few pounds, lose them.
Avatar n tn Hi, I am diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis and I find that even small amounts of alcohol seem to excacerbate my symptoms. I only ever drink to be social, so I never consume large amounts or become inebriated but since I have had TM? I have found that consuming alcohol temporarily worsens my symptoms.
Avatar m tn t know what is going on, but as soon as I drink anything with rum in it my heart really hurts, and so does my back or spine. The pain is REALLY uncomfortable and sometimes it makes it very difficult for me to breathe. It honestly feels like someone is squeezing my heart, and that my spinal cord is being clenched. I was wondering if these seem like symptoms of a rum allergy?
Avatar m tn I recently stopped drinking completely for over 200 days and I had a few drinks around my birthday and all of a sudden my cheeks swell out just under my ears. Makes my face look like I have massive jowls.. It doesn't hurt but I noticed it worsening when I just had a few drinks. Could this mean I am allergic to alcohol now or my body just rejects me have any at all? Could it be some other kind of allergy or maybe mono -- I have had mumps when I was a kid.
