What Causes Dizziness, Heavy Eyes And Feeling Of Slowness After Consuming Alcohol?
Question: I drank on saturday night, not a whole bunch that I blacked out, mostly XXXXXXX 3 shots of vodka and 2 shots whiskey, I remember everything, 4 days later I'm still groggy, dizzy when standing, heavy eyes, bUT no nausea, or sick feeling, just feel slow..
Brief Answer:
Hangover from the alcohol you consumed!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these hangover symptoms that you have reported. They are explained by the alcohol you took. I have no idea if you are used to drinking this much or not but this is common with persons who have not been used to drinking these much volumes or haven't done so in a long time. Though they hang around for a while, they would subside in due time without the need of any specific medical attention at this time. The only frustrating thing is that it is taking longer than usual.
For now, I recommend that you go maintain a healthy diet, drink much water, fruits, vegetables and exercise often. These measures would help accelerate recovery. If anything else comes up, keep me posted.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Also, knowing how the recovery goes would be of interest to me.
