What Causes Dizziness And Tingling In Fingers After Alcohol Consumption?

After nights of drinking the following day I get dizzy and feel like I m going to faint. I drink plenty of water the day before I drink and drink gatorade to help make sure I don t feel this way the following day. Also, I can feel normal for most of the day and then all of the sudden I start to feel dizzy or faint, my hands, fingers, and legs start to get a tingling feeling and I can feel my anxiety building. Am I just dehydrated or do I have a serious medical condition I am unaware of?

Hello,

Your symptoms are indicative of developing alcoholic neuropathy. Dizziness may be a side effect of alcohol intake. It can also be due to dehydration, hypoglycemia or low blood pressure. Take food in time, do not skip meals. Take home made balanced food rich in protein and minerals.

Take food rich in vitamin B6, B12, E, thiamine, niacin, folate. Take adequate amount of water and fluids. Get clinically examined, get nerve biopsy, NCV tests, neurological examinations and all required tests and investigations. You will be treated with medicines and physical therapy. Get treated at the earliest. Avoid alcohol intake, smoking, drugs or any other addiction.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
