Stomach Irritated And Exhausted After Smoking And Eating. Any Ideas ?

Last night I smoked a pack of cigarettes in about 6 hrs while drinkinh I am a regular smoker who recently tried to quit and failed. After smoking and drinking I ate mcdonalds and threw up once. Today I have been exhausted and stomach has been irratated. I also have anxiety issues and I am more anxious than normal. Any tips for me?

Hi,

Both alcohol and cigarettes cause gastric irritation. Anxiety is also likely to worsen a few hours after a heavy bout of drinking as withdrawal sets in. For now, taking antacids or acid production reducing agents like ranitidine, famotidine, omeprazole etc will help. Also avoid spicy and oily foods for a few days. In the long run, cut down on smoking and alcohol as much as you can. Especially, try to avoid bingeing.

Best wishes.
