I have had a very unwell feeling for the last two days. Fairly often I feel a something that i can only describe like a sharp 'dizzy' feeling or like a mild electric shock type feeling in my head.
I think it has something to do with alcohol abuse. I have been a acute everyday drinker for a few years now and I had stop drinking only in the last 2 or 3 days. Since then I have started to have this pain / discomfort.
Is there something more wrong or do i need to worry about this? I feel nausea as well and have been spitting up blood today.
Are these the symptom of acute alcohol withdrawel or something else? Apart from going to the Dr next week, what is the best thing I can do to feel a bit better?

Im not sure if it is caused by drinking,Im not a drinker and I used to get that same electrical shock in the head,as if you can feel something building up,then,zap.My theory on this,and it is just a theory,is that it is electrical activity,which is how the brain works,not being used to it's full potential,therefore overloading once in a while.Best thing to do is to do something you have always wanted to do,but remember that others may not want to do the same thing so be carefull in what you choose!Not much of an answer but at least you know it's not just you this happens to.

You need to get to a doctor as soon as possible. If you're a habitual drinker, you can't just stop - you'll need the support of certain medications to help you through the next few weeks.
The head thing needs to be checked out too.
Don't wait - get seen as soon as possible.
Sorry, only saw the spitting up blood bit now. You don't say how much, but that could also be a sign of a condition related to heavy drinking where the lining of your oesophagus (food pipe) gets damaged - also needs urgent medical attention.

I would have to say that this all sounds like detox from drink. Your body is craving the alcohol, but at the same time is trying to repair itself. Go to see your doctor when you can, but in the mean time drink plenty of water and get some rest. Have some pain killerws if you need to. Well done for giving up the drink, its really something to be proud of. Dont give in to it, your body needs time to repair. I wish you all the luck in the world mate xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well Done You !!!!!!! It sounds like withdrawl symptoms, drink loads and loads of fluids to stop you from dehydrating. Regarding the spitting up blood, go to the doctors as soon as you possibly can, don't wait for your appointment next week, go first thing on Monday morning, it could be nothing, but bringing up blood either in spittal or sick should not be ignored. I wish you well my friend and keep it up.........Well Done !!!! and Good Luck !!!!!

It definalty sounds like withdrawel symptoms, but spitting up blood is VERY worrying, I'd advise going to the Hospital.
I wouldn't panic yourself, but this is serious and you need proper medical care.
Good Luck and hope you feel better soon! xxx

This sounds to me which consists of you would possibly want to be contained in the initial component to confusing paintings. initiate timing your contractions and see in the journey that they advance a way. some thing else to purpose is replacing positions and having a drink of water. If the change in positions helps shrink your soreness, they could be braxton hicks. even with the straightforward shown actuality that, the loosening of your bowels and how the contractions initiate low and upward push up all sound like the starting up of confusing paintings to me....i'm pregnant with my 0.33 due a million-15-08. good fulfillment to you!

Alcohol withdrawl doesn't make you to spit out blood unless your liver is damaged beyond repair. I think that there is something sinister. See your doctor ASAP.

Drink plenty of water and other fluids, rest in bed. You're undergoing detoxification and it will take a few more days. Hang in there.

avoid stressful situations. stay indoors and ideally in bed. keep eating and drinking properly. take a few days off work till you can see the doctor and THEN make sure you follow their advice. do not dismiss it and think you know better.
