Question:
Answers:
its withdrawwal symptoms (Y) your body just needs to get used to it.
Maybe today is the last, or maybe your headaches are from something completely different.
Tomorrow you could be fine, if not see a doctor.
Or, go for a Casual, drink with some friends, see what happens.
Im no drinker so I can't explain it anymore
drink a sports drink like gatorade to replace some of the minerals and vitamins lost from dehydration due to over indulgance
It's called withdrawal symptoms.
Try and drink fruit juice - preferably vitamin C loaded.
Think yourself lucky you are not having the shakes.
Alcohol in excess is a poison, and after a prolonged bender it can take 4-days to a week for your system, especially your liver and kidneys to adjust. It plays havoc with your blood sugars too, so try and eat a well-balanced diet while you are in recovery.
You should get to a doctor and have your blood pressure checked, pronto. If you were drinking a lot and just suddenly quit, your blood pressure can spike up to the point of killing you.
Ya, you might continue with the headaches for a few more days. Suggestion is to keep drinking the water, and have a couple tylenol every 6 hours or so.this'll ease the pain while you get through the next few days.
Make sure you're eating properly too..go easy on dairy and acidic foods.
Unfortunately for you, this is quite normal. your body, particularily your liver is used to dealing with alcohol, and now it is trying to cleanse your system of all toxins. this will be frequent for a while but does get better. My system had to deal with alcohol every day for 35 years and then I stopped. as a result I pains in bits i didnt know i had! perseve as it will be worth it.
Binge drinking causes that. My friend had to quit due to health issues (look up "Holiday Heart" on webmed.com). His headaches lasted 2 weeks. It is your body trying to tell you something. That's how many toxins are in your system. PLEASE don't retoxify in an effort to avoid the penalty. Remember, if you can't have fun without being drunk, you weren't having fun anyway.
Could certainly be withdrawal headache BUT are you actually drinking enough water?
An average healthy adult should drink at least 2 litres of fluid per day, ideally water.
Please don't be tempted to have an alcoholic drink. Stick to your plans of giving up drinking.
If headache still bad tomorrow the see your GP.
Its withdrawls just keep drinking water and get to AA.
could be a tension headache?and you need lots of chilled water to flush the kidneys?if you still feel bad go visit the doc in the am,take care
one new years eve i went on a bender to end all benders (he was a lovely bloke really) (JOKE) but i suffered the same it took a while to recover about a week and i also suffered flu like symptoms chances are its just a major hangover and your not cut out for boozing glocose is good and the headaches are usually caused by dehydration so keep the fluids up as your kidneys have taken a major twatting but if your really worried then visit a gp to ease your worry
start drinking again see if it goes
My friend this is what we call the DT'S.
Your body is detoxing at the moment so you will experience headaches, night sweats for a week or two.
Nothing major to worry about
sounds like a detox headache keep drinking water its flushing out all the toxins in your body.
There is no medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Avoid late sleeping if possible;spicy, sour, stale bakery foods and alcohole.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help you.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it isvery strong.
If it is acute pl search a painful point 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.
