Does Alcohol Intake Cause Sever Pain In Upper Abdomen?
I drink a bottle of red wine every night (or at least 5 out of 7 nights) and on two occassions when I went on a binge (drinking more than a bottle) I suffered severe pain in my lower ribs, I also now suffer from chest pain behind my left breast which is worse especially after I have had a heavy weekend. My doctor thought that it was costochondritis but I'm wondering if it could be down to my consumption of alcohol because this is when it really flares up. I am a 34yr old housewife and mother of 3 toddlers .

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having acute gastritis due to heavy consumption of alcohol.
Due to having corrosive effect of alcohol particularly on empty stomach gives rise to gastritis.
Avoid taking alcohol for few days.
Take Omeprazole or Pentaprozole for some time.
Avoid junk food.
Ok and take care.
