Alcohol and headaches

by Simonthomas, May 20, 2008 12:28PM
I have never been a big drinker of alcohol but whenever I have the smallest amount I get a blinding pain behind by right eye which can sometimes last for days and even up to a week.  Allergy ???

Hi,

You could be having alcohol intolerance but nothing can be said with surety without a proper clinical examination.

You should avoid alcohol if it is causing your symptoms and take oral antihistamine medications for symptomatic relief.

Have you had allergic reactions in the past? Are you allergic to any other specific substances?

You could read more about the condition at the following link -

It would help to take a vitamin B complex and also consult your doctor for your symptoms if they persist.

Post us if you have any other doubts and let us know about how you are doing.

Regards.
