I ve been checked out a few times before with symptoms of really bad shortness of breath & heavy chest after drinking alcohol. More like I can t get enough air in. I also get aching joints, heavy feeling in my Shoulders mainly. It s only really got worse the last couple years. I ve had a few ecg s & my blood pressure taken & it s always fine even when u have the symptoms. I had a chest X-ray recently & it was fine also. The thing is the breathlessness lasts up to 5-6 days after alcohol. I literally can t do anything for days with severe fatigue also. I m 34 year old male.
