Hello, i consumed a large quantity of alcohol three days ago. Two days later a awoke with headache, my stomach was making alot of noises, i had chest pain on left side and nausea. I went to urgent care center and the said i had heart burn. They ran a EKG test took my Blood Pressure and my heart rate. They said everything was fine. nowfour days laterr i still feel the chest pain, headache and stomach feels funny. Could this be a heart condition?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since your cardiac work up is normal, no need to worry much for heart cause. In my opinion you are having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Large alcohol intake with stomach noises (gas) with pain and nausea, all suggest HERD. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. So try to follow these steps for symptomatic relief.1. Avoid alcohol.2. Avoid large meals, take frequent small meals.3. Avoid stress and anxiety.4. Avoid hot and spicy food.5. Start proton pump inhibitor.6. Go for walk after meals. Your headache is mostly due to hang over from alcohol. So take simple painkiller and Chat Doctor.
