What Causes Breathlessness,fainting And Dizziness After Alcohol Consumption?
I have been drinking now for while but mostley at weekends. I am a bit of a binge drinker but calmed down. Recently now everytime I have a heavy night I keep getting alcohol poisening! I loose co ordination, feel faint, dizzy, breathlessness. The first time it happened it was so bad I was in bed for two days, sick and nearly fainted quite a few times and nearly fell over everytime i stood up. Since then everytime I drink I can feel the same symptoms but not as bad as the first one and I dont know why!

Hi!
I am Dr. Neel Kudchadkar and I will help you now. You are suffering from all these symptoms of alcohol poisoning because in your sprees of binge drinking the amount of alcohol that it takes to give you a high is steadily increasing. To get the same high you have to drink dangerous amounts of alcohol. The best way is to abstain from alcohol altogether because you have developed an allergy to it. I suggest that you join an online freedom from alcohol support group. Thanks, Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
