Weird feeling with my head

Weird feeling with my head

I am a 15, almost 16, young man.
I have been experiencing some weird symptoms for a few months now.

I feel tired, and have this feeling in my head that makes my eyes feel heavy and like there is pressure above them. All of this started after drinking some whiskey one night.. I woke up the next morning and thought i just had a hangover or something. I sometimes get disoriented when a room is very crowded with objects. The feeling lasted about a week, and then went away. A weekend or  so later, i went to my friends house and drank some whiskey again. I didnt drink that much this time, and the next day i had the same feeling. But only now, it has been lasting for a couple of months. I dont have this feeling all of the time, but most of the time. It gets very bad sometimes at basketball practice after we run and I become tired. I am thinking it is maybe related to drinking whiskey or just drinking in general?I have stopped drinking and the feeling has been less prominent, but is still there.

Please help me.

The doctor can run other tests and labs to ensure there isn't something else causing the problem such as a tumor etc. putting pressure on the brain and was being exacerbated by the alcohol.  I Hope This Helps.

I also find it hard to concentrate when reading sometimes or just to concentrate in general.

Hello It is most likely caused by the alcohol.  Drinking alcohol can affect the blood pressure, pulse rate, cause confusion, problems with mood and concentration.  Alcohol can cause you to become dehydrated, affect the liver and kidneys etc.  Hopefully the symptoms  will eventually go away but if not you probably need to see your doctor about the symptoms.  

You best bet is to not drink at all especially at your age but it is possible that the alcohol causes you some kind of chemical changes in your brain making you feel this way.  I Hope This Helps.

I have stopped drinking, and it has gotten better, but is still there.
I think the reason it is so bad sometimes is because I think about it which makes it seem worse than it is.
What do you think a doctor could do about this?

Thanks for your help.
