What Causes Tingling, Chest Tightness And Shortness Of Breath After Having Vodka?
Question: Every time i drink vodka I have a reaction that causes my entire body to tingle, chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and hard for me to walk because I can't breathe. Could I have a allergy to Vodka. Sometime when I eat highly processed french fries from a fast food restaurant I feel the same with the shortness of breathe but it is not as intense as when I drink Vodka. Please help. I tell everyone I can't drink Vodka because I believe I am allergic.
Brief Answer:
You are !
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Yes, you are allergic to vodka. The symptoms are quite classical.
You should never attempt to drink vodka again as the next reaction can be very severe, as the body produces more antibodies. You can frankly refuse.
Same with french fries and all the foods or beverages you might have noted by this time.
Do not take these again if you want to avoid any serious problem.
