Hangover

Drinking alcoholic beverages in large quantities leads to systemic disorders in the body. Normally, after a hangover, a person’s aversion to alcohol increases. If this does not happen, it is advisable to assert the development of alcohol addiction.

What it is

A hangover is a condition caused by an increase in the concentration of toxic substances in the body due to the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The state of intoxication provokes a number of symptoms: headache, nausea, dry mouth, gastrointestinal disturbances, etc.

Causes of hangover

A number of painful sensations during a hangover are caused by dehydration and an increase in the concentration of acetaldehyde in the body. To remove it as quickly as possible, it is necessary to resort to drug treatment.

Signs of a severe hangover

“Otkhodnyak,” as it is popularly called, is a type of poisoning. Due to an increase in the concentration of toxic substances in the body and an increase in dehydration, a number of painful symptoms occur.

HOW TO HELP AN ALCOHOLIC IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE TREATED

Be sick

Vomiting is a protective mechanism aimed at accelerating the elimination of toxic substances from the body. Vomiting helps to evacuate contents from the stomach that are oversaturated with toxins. If a person’s stomach is empty, but vomiting does not stop, it is necessary to call a specialist: the condition may indicate serious damage to the liver and pancreas.

Headache

Migraine occurs after beer, vodka and other alcoholic drinks due to dehydration. Lack of fluid in the body leads to increased blood pressure, which impairs cerebral circulation.

Pain

Pain in the stomach and intestines is caused by the negative effects of alcohol on the mucous membranes. A feast provokes the development of gastritis, pancreatitis, colitis, etc. Ethyl alcohol destroys the intestinal microflora, leading to the development of dysbacteriosis. Damage to the gastric mucosa leads to intense “cutting” pain in the epigastrium.

Temperature

After drinking alcohol in the morning, your body temperature may rise. This occurs due to the consumption of low-quality alcohol, individual intolerance to alcohol, exacerbation of chronic pathologies or damage to the nervous system. If hyperthermia occurs, you should consult a specialist.

Anxiety

The negative effect of alcohol on the nervous system leads to increased anxiety. After a feast, a person’s hands shake, unreasonable panic occurs, trembling and weakness in the limbs.

How long does it last

The duration of a hangover depends on the amount of alcohol consumed. In some cases, a person feels better only after 24 hours, 48 hours, or even 72 hours.

Consequences of a hangover

Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to the following disorders in the body:

Dysbacteriosis;
Gastritis, stomach and duodenal ulcers;
Pancreatitis;
Liver diseases;
Diseases of the cardiovascular system, etc.

To avoid these diseases, you should avoid excessive alcohol consumption.

What to do if you have a terrible hangover: first aid

If the last use of alcoholic beverages occurred about three hours ago, it is necessary to get rid of the contents of the stomach. To do this, drink a liter of water and press on the root of the tongue. You can overcome a hangover through the use of Regidron and other medications for dehydration. The best way is to place a dropper with a water-salt solution.

The mechanism of alcohol's effect on blood pressure

Not every person understands why blood pressure rises after drinking alcohol, because when ethyl alcohol enters the blood, it dilates the capillaries. Ethanol does have this effect, but it doesn't last long.

Approximately 30-40 minutes after the start of drinking alcohol, the blood vessels sharply narrow, which leads to poor circulation. As a result, sufficient micronutrients and oxygen do not reach the tissues, and blood pressure rises. It is worth considering that such a disorder occurs not only in chronic alcoholism, but also in people who drink alcohol occasionally.

Particularly dangerous is the condition after heavy drinking, which, in addition to high blood pressure, is accompanied by the following symptoms:

Strong headache;
tremor;
muscle aches;
nausea, vomiting;
insomnia;
excessive thirst.

The listed symptoms may indicate severe alcohol intoxication, which requires immediate professional help.

Hangover treatment

Only a specialist can provide a quick remedy for a hangover. Home methods are popular due to their wide availability, but the most effective remedies are provided only by a narcologist.

How to get rid of signs at home

You can get rid of painful symptoms in the morning by drinking plenty of fluids and taking medications aimed at fighting a hangover: Antipohmelin, Limontar, Alka-Seltzer, Zorex, etc. Taking medications can be combined with sorbents.

What will help with a hangover quickly?

You can relieve a hangover in a short time only with the help of a specialist. If a person is in a hurry to an important conference, work, study, etc., it is advisable to call a narcologist at home. Putting on an IV, taking specialized medications and receiving the most important recommendations will help you quickly “get back on your feet” after a stormy feast.

How to relieve the condition without pills

You can get rid of a hangover without the help of medications. Folk remedies are available to almost every person.

Home remedies for hangovers aim to speed up the body's cleansing of toxins. To combat dehydration, it is advisable to drink mineral waters, for example “Essentuki”. The use of medicinal mineral water and normalization of water balance has the following effects on the body:

The level of hydrochloric acid in the stomach decreases;
Peristalsis is normalized;
The volume of circulating blood is replenished;
Tissue swelling is relieved;
Mineral reserves in the body are replenished;
Kidney function is activated.

The use of mineral waters, Regidron and the placement of a dropper are very important for relieving the symptoms of dehydration.

Foods that will help you recover from a hangover

You can reduce the intensity of a hangover by taking natural products. Some of these remedies can be found in every person’s home, so these recipes are widely available.

To combat a hangover, use the following products:

Decoctions of mint, lemon balm, motherwort and chamomile have a beneficial effect on the body and accelerate the elimination of toxins;
Chicken broth, eggs and boiled fish help fight a mild hangover. Protein and vitamins help the liver recover;
Tomato juice is involved in restoring the water-salt balance. It is better to use natural tomato juice;
Compotes and smoothies are vitamin “bombs” that improve the general condition of the body;
Tea with ginger and lemon will help quickly alleviate a person’s condition: eliminate nausea, anxiety and weakness.

There is a misconception among people that coffee helps to cheer up after a stormy feast. In fact, coffee only aggravates dehydration of the body, so it is better to replace a cup of aromatic drink with a glass of plain water.

Hangover dropper at home and in the clinic

The substance administered through a dropper quickly enters the bloodstream, activates the kidneys and quickly flushes toxins from the body.

A narcologist can administer an IV in a hospital setting or at home. The specialist uses water-salt solutions, vitamin and mineral complexes, hepatoprotectors and other drugs.

Signs

Symptoms vary depending on the magnitude of the drop in blood pressure, the general condition of the body and its compensatory capabilities. Typical manifestations are:

weakness, drowsiness, “dullness”, “cotton head”;
indifference or, on the contrary, emotional instability;
tachycardia;
shortness of breath, worsening with physical exertion;
pallor, increased sweating;
dizziness, which increases when moving from a horizontal to a vertical position;
pre-fainting states, fainting, especially in stuffy and crowded conditions, inability to take a comfortable position, prolonged standing;
pressing or bursting pain with an epicenter in the frontal or temporal region;
thermoregulation disorders.

Effective remedies to combat hangover syndrome

Traditional medicine offers many options for what to do with a hangover. The following methods are suitable for helping yourself at home with a minor hangover.

Vitamin C is good for hangovers

Vitamin C strengthens the immune system, binds toxins and promotes their rapid elimination from the body. To do this, it is advisable to drink water with lemon and lime juice, as well as herbal teas with a slice of lemon.

Water for a hangover

Drinking plenty of fluids helps stimulate blood circulation, normalize peristalsis and flush toxins from the body. Relieving a hangover requires using large amounts of clean filtered water.

Brine - the old-fashioned way

Brine really helps with hangovers due to the salts and dill essential oil it contains. These substances normalize the water-salt balance in the body and restore osmotic pressure in the blood. After vodka, you can use brine, clean water with lemon and soothing herbal teas.

Tea

Herbal teas have a beneficial effect on all body functions. Ginger tea with lemon, decoctions of motherwort, linden, rose hips, sea buckthorn and other herbs are very effective.

Natural juices

Fruit juices contain fructose, which speeds up the elimination of toxins from the body. Carrot and celery juice normalizes liver function, improves immunity and stimulates appetite.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal with milk coats the walls of the stomach and has a beneficial effect on the digestive tract. Fiber, which is part of cereals, helps remove toxins from the body.

IN 48 HOURS

Cleansing the body is accompanied by the same symptoms that were present on the first day. My head continues to hurt. But the painful sensations are no longer so strong.

A person who has begun to struggle with addiction seeks solitude and is often irritated with loved ones. Sleep is shallow and often interrupted. Vague visions transform into nightmares.

Dark thoughts are present. It seems to a person that he will never recover. There is no appetite, the patient really wants to drink. Towards evening the symptoms persist. Sometimes the restructuring is accompanied by discomfort in the liver.
