Posted on Wed, 24 May 2017
Question: spent week in Bahrain. Am mild drinker - 1 -3 glasses perday. Ate very little entire time there. Went no 'out of the way places.' Attended private parties at Crown Prince's home, ate little/nothing. Consumed some champagne. Drank moderately on 24 hour Bahrain/Kuwait/Amsterdam/Atlanta return flight. Felt lousy ever since. ER checks all OK; doctor RX'ing Lorazepam to help anxiety, discomfort. One first day taking it. Any advice that might speed return to normalcy. Am 77 with Type II diabetes, higher than normal BP. Under Dr.'s care for both for many years. Thanks. XXXX 000 000 0000

Brief Answer:
Proper diet and hydration is key

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Since everything on ER check up was fine I feel there is need to follow rules of proper diet and hydration. This single but important step will be enough to allow through recovery in next couple of days.

To be precise I will recommend use of potassium rich diets such as tender coconut for controlling high blood pressure and dehydration.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards
