What Causes Pain Under Left Breast After Alcohol Consumption?

Hi.Over the Xmas period I have had alcohol on two occasions.On both of those occasions I have woke up in the night in excruciating pain under my left breast.I have struggled to breath and can't move without help.I normally have a high pain threshold but this is unbearable.It has eased after taking ibuprofen and paracetamol. I'm not a heavy drinker normally and otherwise I'm fit and healthy.I haven't seen a doctor in years.

Hello,
It could be that you have an ulcer and it was irritated with the alcohol. You should see a doctor and get an exam and lab tests done. In addition, it is a good idea for you not to drink alcohol. This is your body telling you not to take in alcohol.
