What Causes Severe Chest Pain After Consuming Alcohol?

hi, when i drink alcohol, i get a bad pain in my chest for about 30-45 minutes after i finish the drink. I don t drink anything serious, only coolers and wine, but after one drink i start to get a lot of pain. Do you know if its an allergy? Thank you

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Alcohol causes burning of mucosal lining of stomach and esophagus leading to superficial ulceration in stomach and esophagus. This causes pain after drinking alcohol especially in empty stomach. This is not due to allergy. But some people are more to develop ulceration due to alcohol. Chronic consumption of alcohol leads peptic ulcer in digestive tract and various types of cancer.
Advice
1.     Avoid alcohol, smoking, spicy food, and non-steroidal pain killer, coffee, fatty foods, mint, chocolate, tomato-based foods
2.     Even if you want to consume alcohol, drink after having some foods in your stomach
3.     Omeprazole 20 mg per oral empty stomach in the morning for 10 days
4.     Domperidone 10 mg per oral when you feel nausea
