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 f tn t show any other signs of alcohol poisoning so I was wondering if there was another thing less fatal than alcohol poisoning.
Avatar m tn My grandmother has never had a drink in her life, but she was a regular at many parties and bars. She has fun without the alcohol. For some people, normal means no alcohol at all. I too suffer from OCD and can understand your obsessive thoughts and how they can take over your life. What I've found to help me is my weekly group (love them) and a journal. A lot of positive talk to yourself will help too. I write almost daily, at least everytime an obsessive thought creeps up.
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 As a result he got breathing problem in 5th of august and admitted to hospital due methanol poisoning which created acidosis or something like that. He had to stay for few days over there. During that time he went through ccu, icu and hdu. But the thing is in 6th of august he lost as vision as he couldn't see anything and after hemodylysis he got his light sensing capability back. Again today 9th of august he can not see or feel even light.
Avatar m tn 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 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 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 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 t mention anything about alcohol poisoning? Do you think I could be experiencing symptoms from that? The hospital was not my medical provider so they did not mention much and when I woke up I did not ask many questions, I was still confused.
Avatar m tn The reason i'm writing is because after the bad experience at the hospital of being told he is a bad drunk, needs to sober up and stop drinking so much without doing a thorough diagnosis or listening to us explain the situation, he does not want to go back to a doctor unless the symptoms could suggest something serious. one friend hinted at Lymes Disease as a possible cause but usually that causes nausea, not 1 hour of normal behavior then insta-black-out drunk and loss of memory.
498656 tn?1213446919 "I cannot drink responsibly and 1 drink leads me to 7-9 drinks until I pass out." There are plenty of alcoholics on this forum who understand what you mean about not being able to stop but at some point you have two options - drink or die. I'd doubt that drinking will be a problem for you for very much longer - once your liver becomes cirrhotic and you need a transplant maybe it will be the trigger you need to quit before you die.
Avatar f tn A friend of mine produces his own alcoholic beverages at home. He drinks these beverages since 3 years and he doesn't have any problems with his eyes. 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.
Avatar n tn RNA based virus that highjacks liver cells to do the work of the virus instead of the proper liver cell function (filtering out garbage like alcohol, drugs, chemicals, other stuff that should not be there). RNA viruses are not the strongest so some people's immune systems manage to clear it. Usually does not show symptoms until the liver is wrecked. Some people live their whole lives with it and keep it at bay.
Avatar f tn If he has a virus and drinks thats another situation. People die from acute alcohol poisoning when they are on a bing and the liver cant filter the amount of alcohol going through the liver at the same time.. So he could have cirrohiss of the liver from alcohol intake and not any of the virus.

Avatar m tn Have you tried eating some yogurt or another source of probiotics? I was worried about the same thing, about parasites, since my eosinophils were at zero, at the end of my Tx, and they are the 65 of our WBC's that fight of foriegn invaders, like parasites, etc. I used a couple drops of Oil of Oregano, in some milk (cuz it burns other-wise) because it has strong anti-parasitical values, and it's natural.
Avatar f tn Poison control are great about giving advice on toxic indigestions but they do not know exactly how much your baby ingested and generally speaking, neither do you. Your baby is at risk for possible alcohol poisoning. Hand sanitizer that contains strong fragrance are much more dangerous then those that do not, as they continue a higher alcohol percent. I recommend you have your baby taken to the hospital!! I can't believe your baby drank enough to get sick from, it taste horrible!!!
Avatar m tn You say She goes through serious withdrawals that land Her in the hospital. She could die from alcohol poisoning with that amount. That is a LOT of alcohol for anyone. In my opinion this Woman needs serious intervention. How long has She been doing this?
Avatar m tn For 10 months I have had global paresthesia (every part of my body) and have been evaluated for diabetes, heavy metal poisoning, VB12 deficiency, too much VB6, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, lyme disease, and with EMG study.. Diagnosis is idiopathic central nervous system disorder. Treatment is for symptoms - gabapentin and alprazolam.
Avatar m tn t drink so much. This is called alcohol poisoning and you can die from it. Please if you do drink again, do so moderately and learn what your limit is. - My limit is 1/2 beer, after that my nose gets numb.
Avatar n tn 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 m tn Nothing with stay down at all. He has promised me that he will go to the hospital tomorrow if he is still feeling like this.
Avatar f tn The worst moment was last night when the police stood in front of my door at 2 am in the morning to tell me that my daughter is in the emergency because of alcohol poisoning. I thought she slept over at her friends house which turned out to be not true. I tried now to make wise choices to not loose her and didn't ground her or make a big fuss out of it, I talked to her like always and told her I will always support her.
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?
