When ever I drink alcohol, I get sever pains in my chest and shoulda, often to the point of starry vision and excessive vomiting, it could even just be an ounce of alcohol and I feel like I need to be rushed to the hospital and my breathing becomes very laboured. Should I be worried!?

Hello
Thanks for the query to HCM.
Chest pain , shoulder pain and excessive vomiting may be due to .
1 Allergy to alcohol as all symptoms are an indication that you develop allergy to alcohol.
This is a cause of concern as you mentioned that there is difficulty in breathing and this is a clear indication that don't drink alcohol .
If allergy ( reaction ) occurs sever than you may get in trouble so in my opinion avoid alcohol as this is good for you.
2 The next option is take anti allergic tablets before consumption of any alcohol.
In my opinion don't use alcohol.
Good luck.
