What Causes Sharp Chest Pain While Drinking Alcohol?
Hi, everytime I drink alcohol (even after 1/2 drinks) I get really sharp chest pains, which then the next day leads to a fainter pain and also back ache/pains. Is this normal? I also experience vomiting the next day, even if I have only had a few drinks. Thanks

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Alcohol is known to cause gastritis (hyperacidity).
This will in turn causes burning epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting.
So better not to take alcohol in future.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals.
Take pantoprazole (antacid) twice daily on empty stomach.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
