I still feel dizzy after drinking for several days

Drinking is a common way of socializing in today's society. Of course, although drinking in moderation has its benefits, if you drink excessively, it will cause certain harm to your health. For example, some people will feel dizzy for several days after drinking. This is caused by alcohol poisoning caused by excessive drinking. Below, we will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about excessive drinking!

1. The harm of excessive drinking

Drinking too much will make you drunk and cause acute alcohol poisoning. After being drunk, patients with moderate or above alcohol poisoning should be sent to the hospital as soon as possible for gastric lavage, infusion and other treatments. If rescued in time, there will generally be no sequelae. For those with mild alcohol poisoning, sobering measures should be taken quickly to reduce the damage of alcohol to the body.

2. Symptoms of excessive drinking

Symptoms of drunkenness: If you drink too much and get completely drunk, it will cause acute ethanol poisoning. Its clinical manifestations can be divided into three stages:

Excitement stage: At this time, the lower centers of the cerebral cortex are excited, the face is flushed, the mind is excited, the talk is incessant, the crying and laughing are unpredictable, there is dizziness, headache, etc. The blood alcohol concentration reaches about 0.1%.

Ataxia stage: At this time, the excited state disappears, and the person becomes slow to react, clumsy in movements, staggering, and even loses balance, becomes confused, and speaks incoherently. The blood alcohol concentration can reach about 0.2%.

Coma stage: At this time, the cerebral cortex is in a highly inhibited state, and the patient may appear pale, have cyanotic lips, a rapid pulse, incontinence, and drowsiness and coma. At this time, if the blood alcohol concentration rises to about 0.6%, it often leads to respiratory paralysis and respiratory arrest, which is the most common cause of death from drunkenness.

3. Measures to sober up

1. Let the drunk person sleep quietly, keep warm in winter, and apply cold compress on the head.

2. Apply the ointment as soon as possible. You can use chopsticks to stimulate the throat to promote application and reduce the irritation of alcohol to the gastric mucosa.

3. Drink more water (warm water, light salt water, sugar water or honey water, mung bean soup, etc.) to reduce the alcohol concentration in the blood and speed up urination so that alcohol can be quickly excreted with urine.

4. Eat more fruits, such as pears, oranges, apples, watermelons, tomatoes, etc., to use fructose to burn ethanol.

5. You can take vitamin B1 and vitamin E to promote the decomposition of ethanol.

6. If you feel very drunk, you can take 5 grams of sugar and add 30 milliliters of vinegar. After the sugar dissolves, drink it all at once.
