Hi,
The symptoms that you have described are probably due to accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body, which is a by-product of alcohol metabolism. Usually it gets metabolized without causing any symptoms, but some medicines can prevent its metabolism. The four times this has happened, you probably were on some of these medicines.
Best wishes.
