Hello,
I am writing to find out if
possibly I am going through alcohol
withdrawal. I went to the hospital april
9, 2005 for acid reflux. The doctor asked
me if I drank because my blood was a
little thin. I said yes. So from that
day forth I decided not to drink anymore.
Two days later I was in a
ambulance for tachacardia. I used to
drink beer 3 times a day and on the
weekend a 12 pack. Since then it has been
all downhill. I have gotten severe
hypertension, headaches, and tremors. I
am 30 years old and was perfectly healthy
up untill this point.
I thought for sure it was
my thyroid but the test was negative. I
did a blood test on my pancreas and the
results was a little high. I am currently
taking atenolol for the hypertension. I
thought alcohol withdrawal only last a few
weeks but I still have hypertension 7
weeks later.
The only real problem is
the high blood pressure now. Does anyone
know how long alcohol withdrawal last?
Has anyone had these symptoms before?
Perhaps you can give me an idea of what I
have? Hope to hear from you.
