Allergic to alcohol

The New-Test Forum - Sinuses

FromTo
I am 23 and have always been healthy but over the past 18 months I have suffered from blocked/infected sinuses causing dizziness (like seeing stars)/light headedness/disorientation/headaches/fatigue and severe difficulties concentrating. These symptoms are only brought on after drinking alcohol and last for months afterwards. I had surgery to reduce my turbinates and to straighten a deviated septum about 6 months ago. I was totally fine for the next 3 months until I had a drink when the symptoms came back even worse. I have recently had MRI scans of my C-spine, and IAMs along with blood tests to rule out arthritis, all of which came back normal. I am sure that alcohol has something to do with this as every time I drink these symptoms occur. Is it possible to be allergic to alcohol in this way, and if so is it possible to control/remedy these symptoms?jack1983

I think you answered you own question.

I'm actually interested in your nasal surgery. Was it really helpful. I'm thinking of getting my deviated septum fixed because i have this horrible nose pain that radiates behind my eye and has been there for the past 2 months. Does it really work?

Did you get this 'eye' pain?
