Hello,

allergic reactions to the drug may occur and sometimes they can present with hypotension which may cause some of the symptoms you've mentioned. Heavy alcohol use may also cause some of the symptoms (sometimes due to hypoglycemia). The information you've provided are not sufficient for a complete answer.

Critical information would include your blood pressure and heart rate for example because alcohol use is connected to arrhythmias also (like atrial fibrillation) and because other related (and unrelated) conditions may apply to your case that have to be distinguished somehow. The vital signs is a fast screening test to exclude some of them.

Contact me again, if you'd like with more information. I'll be glad to help.

Kind Regards!
