Alcohol intolerance?
Hi I’ve had this problem since 2014 but got much worse after catching covid for the first time in 2021. I had my gb removed in 2014 and diagnosed with NAFLD (Non alcoholic fatty liver) when id drink alcohol my chest would flush as well as my face but it wouldnt last very long and id ‘drink past it’ I was in uni so you can imagine how many times I did drink.. fast forward to 2021 I caught covid and had quite a bad time with it (messed with my lungs) as I’m severe asthmatic. After 3 weeks I or so I was better. Until I started noticing more nasty effects from when id drink alcohol.. facial flushing very red and very hot on both my face and chest.. headaches, diarrhea (sometimes).. fast heart rate 120bpm sat down.. dizziness.. and 3 or 4 drinks id be well and truly ready for bed feeling pretty drunk but more so very tired. Id crash out and wake up within an hour or two feeling like nothing had happened? Other than my heart rate still being pretty high.. the symptoms feel almost identical to a panick attack with a little sweating also. I now do not drink but I’ve noticed foods, strong emotions (laughing, angry or upsett) can cause this aswell. Im generally in good health apart from raised liver enzymes due to nafld but not high enough for the gp to be concerned. Am I broken? 😆 have I gained an intolerance? It’s my sisters hen do in two weeks time nd we are going abroad. I would love to join in on the fun and have drinks with her, but my plans at the moment are mocktails simply because I don’t want to ruin her time. Just wondering if anyone has gone or going through the same or similar and had some answers? Thank you for your time!
