chest pain and difficult breathing a few days after drinking

I must be your identical twin. I have all of these and am fit as a fiddle. my difficulty with breathing happens the next night however... I cannot breathe as I drift of to sleep! Grim! Sweating out the hangover at the gym helps

I am experiencing it this same moment as i type.

Found the solution guys! We all need to take rests from drinking and drink lots of water throughout the week. Mine was mainly because I drank 2 beers Monday-Thursday and then went hardcore on Friday and Saturday. Stopped for 5 days and have just been drinking tons and tons of water. I can breath again and am going to cut back to 3 beers on a Saturday night. That should help! Guys don't freakout over this problem! I am 25, have had 4 heart surgeries, have heart disease, high blood pressure and have figured this out.

Two things. One, literally have been panicking all day over these symptoms and was too scared to look into it online because I usually don't find good advice or anything that doesn't put me in a worse mental state. So very relieved I'm not the only one. I do however feel like I have heart palpitations when I start to over think it. The irony is that I went to the doctor today, the day after a HUGE night of unplanned drinking and he said I'm the healthiest person he'll see all day aside from diagnosing a heart murmur that wasn't once there. On that note, the CAPTCHA picture I have to type is "relief" Found that a little humorous, but if anyone has any more insight as to the heart issue anything would be appreciated.

JUST STOP DRINKING

Iam 27 n started feeling the chest pain..days after drinking as soon as I closed my eyes to sleep I feel the pressure chest n head..feels like iam having a heart attack. .well this is because I been drinking since 15 n now iam going tru alcohol withdrawal it sucks but time to stop drinking the way I do ,mostly 5 days a week..too much ohh n when I first went to er they gave me vitamins n a 5 day withdrawal medicine..sucks cause I had stop for 2 months n drank for 2 days n iam going tru it rite now..

exact same symptoms here... i'm dying to find out the causes. is it the lung? heart? liver swelling?? have you found out about it yet? please let me know

I have experienced a lot of these symptoms too. Even went to doctor and had all the tests done, ekg, chest X-ray, blood work. All came back normal. I think it was dehydration and maybe low sodium levels. Took a couple of days of drinking a lot of water and no alcohol for me to feel better. Good luck to all.

I experienced this yesterday. I believe its dehydration and I wasn't much at all the past 4 days I binged drank and everyone thinks is all n my head also. This morning I feel better that I ate some and drank two pedialytes.

Yeah...me too. Still don't know what's wrong with me. Wish I never drank that night!!!

To be honest folks I have been consistently having these symptoms for some time now, they are directly related to drinking , my doctor has explained this to me in detail , I know for myself I am done with excessive drinking or drinking a few days in a row , I don't want to feel like this anymore and I'm just tired of being tired now and feeling like hell

I have had this a few times in the past due to binge drinking and vomiting EXCESSIVELY, this it seems is the cause of the slight tingling aching sensation that you feel in your chest while you inhale or exhale. It's not due to drinking too much, at least this symptom isn't, but rather severe and uncontrollable vomiting. I am on day 3 of a flu and all though I do drink a beer just about every other day, I haven't drank a drop in over a week due to being ill. However, I have been vomiting severely due to having the flu and the pain has returned. But, since I've already experienced this pain in my chest and kind of back of my throat I don't worry because I know it will pass. Now here is the "KICKER", in order to subside this pain I took a 5 mlg percocet and drank a beer and what do you know the pain is still there but it doesn't hurt as nearly as much without the those mixtures. So, I'm know doctor but I think I may have found a way to manage this for myself without going back to the hospital. Folks, relax and it will pass with or without using the perc's and alcohol. You're not dying you just overworked whatever muscle that vomiting uses.

Im a male, 26 years old.

Ive been enjoying party drinking since I was around 18 years old, and I usually got quite drunk. From I was 21-24 I drank like 2-3 days a week, now usually one day a week and in the last couple of months like 2 times a month. I also used to smoke weed, a couple of days a week for the last three years, and i've been a light cigaret smoker (7-10 per day).

My symptoms started after being at Roskilde festival, and being drunk for 8-9 days in a row. I got an appointment at the doctor since I as having difficulty breathing and pains in my body, mainly in the chest. I got an xray which told me there was nothing wrong... The doctor thought it was anxiety, which Im pretty sure it isn't.

I completely stopped smoking the summer 2015, to repair my lungs and make the breathing easier. To mention I can't stand smoke from cig/weed anymore, it kinda hurts in my lungs..

The last few months, Ive had problems sleeping after a heavy night out drinking. Ive been waking up 5-6 hours after I went to bed, and unable to sleep before later at the day. And coughing a lot, even though I haven't smoked. This was followed by chest pains.

I visited my doctor three weeks ago and he gave me pills for GERD (acid reflux) which im supposed to take for three months. Ive been taking the pills since, and this weekend I decided to go out drinking for the first time since I started the pills. I did not have any coughing in the morning, but I still had trouble sleeping. I slept for like 6 hours and then in the afternoon I was able to sleep again.

Im not sure what is wrong, and I feel like my doctor is just guessing. Im happy to read other people who are experiencing the same symptoms (Breathing issues, chest pain, trouble sleeping).

Im not sure im suffering from GERD, since no other food is triggering this illness beside from alcohol drinking, but I plan on continue the pills for the last month and see if it gets better.

If you have a support group, I would like to join to get more knowledge in this subject.

Sounds like anxiety brought on by alcohol. I've had it 10 years+ was convinced it was something else. Realised that alcohol makes me shallow breathe, bringing on anxiety and heartburn

Maybe you're right, after reading a lot of the postes here I discovered that anxiety gets worse when your body is out of touch.
Im not feeling these symptoms at all when its not after drinking... And im not really worried about stuff in my everyday day.. Im quite calm and taking one day at a time.


How did you get your diagnose?
