5 day hangover bit worried

[mandmsmummy]

Just that really, had a few too many wines on Friday, I normally know my limits. Very sick until sat lunchtime then been knackered, nauseous, shaky since. Started to feel a bit more human today, had two coffees now feel shaky light headed again. Been eating and drinking fine since sat but write these effects are still around. Any advice?

Worried not write!

Could you be pregnant?

No I'm pretty sure I'm not, had a period and all seems to have started since the drunkeness! Don't know if its because I'm too old for hangovers or if its possible to have damaged myself in one night? I had five wines, two pimms and two champers! A lot for me which is why I was sick but still feel groggy now

Most symptoms of a hangover are caused by dehydration and low blood sugars, so loads of fluids, maybe a sports drink should help restore your blood chemistry plus carby foods. Paracetamol should help headaches and general malaise. Maybe you just have a coincidental bug? Five days does seem extreme. I suppose there's no chance your drink was spiked? That is a really scarey reality these days.

Hope you had a good night!!!!!

Hi
Thanks
I don't think my drink was spiked! Should I be getting medical advice? Or just waiting it out?

Don't think there's much your doctor could do. Sounds like the coffee set you off again? Maybe try something like lucozade or even diorrholyte. Don't get dehydrated in the heat, keep sipping that fluid! And eat.

Thanks, I feel dreadful tonight like the hangover is back. I wondered if the coffee has made it worse. I was worried I had some internal problem caused by the alcohol as I don't know much about it. Feel ridiculous at my age (late 30s)

Maybe all that vomiting has given you a touch of gastritis, maybe something like gaviscon could help. Chat to doctor if still worried tomorrow? Could you stomach some yoghurt to soothe?

my (non-expert) vote is for a coincidental bug as I've just had similar.

A bad hangover became general malaise, loss of appetite, sleeping for England and eventually nausea and diarrhoea a few days later.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks all, that would make sense. My tummy is upset tonight so my hubby thinks I've got a bug through being low the last few days. Really appreciate all the advice, love my mumsnet chums! Xx

I had a telephone consultation with the doctor today wh has said it could be gastritis from being so sick. Have gaviscon and anti sickness tablets and have o go back next week if no better x

How are you feeling now OP?
