What Causes Heaviness In Shoulders And Arms After Having Alcohol?
I do not drink much, maybe 1 glass of wine a month, and a teaspoon of Irish cream in coffee twice a month. Even when I have a teaspoon of alcohol I get a heavy feeling in my shoulders and arms. No other symptoms, but no matter what alcohol I drink I feel this right away, minutes after the first sips. Is this normal?
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Alcohol causes a side effect in some peopel as the enzymatic metabolic processes aren't favorable for you. It causes all the problems due to formaldehyde formed after the breakdown of alcohol in body.
Avoid taking alcohol as it has many risks and serious disease associations
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
