Alcohol allergy is an extremely common and unpleasant phenomenon. The main reason for its development can be called the use of drinks containing ethyl alcohol.
Alcohol allergy is acquired, and its consequences are quite serious. It appears from excessively frequent "ingestion of the hellish potion", consumption of artificial alcoholic mixtures, drinks with preservatives, flavorings and other artificial additives. The causes of alcohol allergy can be hidden in harmful substances that are formed during the production of illegal drinks with alcohol. Cases of poisoning with homemade wine are very common.
Alcohol allergy manifests itself through:
If the above symptoms of alcohol allergy appear, the first thing you should do is immediately stop drinking those drinks that cause allergic reactions, and then go to the doctor to check the condition of the internal organs.
To avoid a recurrence of an allergic reaction, you should completely exclude the use of alcoholic beverages. In addition, you should not initially, saving on your health, drink drinks of suspicious quality. Treatment of an allergy to alcohol, of course, must begin by cleansing the body of toxins.
Self-medication can give the opposite result. You should also take a closer look at the drugs prescribed by the doctor. Most often, when combined with alcohol, they become dangerous for the body. If you carefully study the instructions for any medication, you can see that it clearly states that it is forbidden to drink alcohol when taking anti-allergy drugs. Violation of these recommendations will lead to the fact that the human cardiovascular system will be "under attack".
There are options in the fight against this evil. The most radical of them requires giving up alcohol altogether.
Allergy to alcohol can lead to the most unpredictable consequences - these are problems with the heart, liver, kidneys and other internal organs, acute dermatitis, frequent loss of consciousness, pressure surges.
Do not forget about cirrhosis of the liver - after all, it does not hurt, but just grows. Cirrhosis can be compared with cancer in severity. The liver is capable of regeneration, so it is important not to let the disease progress to the chronic category.
Alcohol addiction has an incredibly bad effect on the vascular and cardiac systems.
The next step is alcoholic polyneuritis. This is a decrease in sensitivity and inflammation of the nerves. First, the limbs will be affected. Weakness in the legs and arms, pain in the calves and cramps will appear. As a rule, sensitivity in the wrists and feet decreases, which is easily checked with a sharp prick. It is possible that the disease can develop to an advanced stage - this is paralysis. Vitamins are no longer absorbed.
Gastritis (often chronic) - occurs quite often and is not only caused by alcohol.
Next come psychological problems. And in first place is delirium tremens. We will not go into the deep details of this "anecdotal" problem. Under the influence of hallucinations, a person can harm himself and others. At the same time, the patient's consciousness is usually clear. Fatal outcomes are not at all uncommon, but most often the result of delirium tremens is dementia.
Next on the list is addiction to alcohol, loss of self-control, memory impairment. Dipsomania is very common - a type of psychosis that develops as a result of alcohol addiction. In a state of remission, a person does not experience any need for alcohol at all; sometimes the mere mention of alcoholic beverages causes vomiting.But when the next binge comes, he makes up for lost time by living for his own pleasure: he leaves home, does not show up for work, leads an immoral existence.
This concerns common diseases caused by an allergy after alcohol. Further development can be completely individual.
Thus, the most common problems that people with alcohol addiction face are considered. It is scary to learn this from personal experience. And yet, it is important to find the strength in yourself to see a doctor and completely give up alcohol.
You need to be attentive and careful about your health. At the first signs of symptoms, do not spare time and money - see a doctor. No one will promise a complete recovery, but it is possible to live without unpleasant phenomena. Good health to you, and remember what the Ministry of Health "shouts" to us from TV screens and from posters on the streets of our cities.
