What Causes Abdominal Pain After Alcohol Consumption?
hi ... My name is saurabh. I am 25 years old . i am not a heavy drinker and smoker. But these days i am suffering from left abdominal pain after drinking and even smoking. I drink on weekends and smoke 1 -2 ciggrates each day. Sometime i am confused whether it is liver pain or abdominal pain. No other symptoms noticed

Hi Saurabh,
Your symptoms are indicative for dyspepsia most probably caused by alcohol and smoking. I advise to avoid taking them, together with:
- eating often and in small portions
- drink more water
- avoid fried, citrus, fatty foods
- take antacids
- do not lay down immediately after eating
If symptoms won't improve, I suggest to run further examinations :
- upper endoscopy
- abdominal ultrasound
- urine analysis
Wish fast recovery!
