Common but...: Breast pain is common for many reasons at all ages. It is potentially a dangerous sign but usually not.

Question 5

i started suffering from red blood on my stool coupled with pinkish urine. i drink alcohol but dont smoke and have a previous history of breast and colon cancer in both of my grandparents. i also have ehlers danlos syndrome but dont suffer with it.

Accepted Answer

Blood/fecal: Difficult without more history, but blood externally on stool is usually due to small tears in the lining of the colon/rectum and is common with constipation. Breast and colon cancers usually do not produce external blood on the stool, but it would be wise to get a colonoscopy or a FIT test to ease concern.  Pinkish urine can come with a urinary tract infection, but not from breast/colon disease.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Depends: Alcohol not as much impact as smoking. Don't smoke!  Stop couple days before and don't drink after as long as you are on pain meds. Never mix alcohol and narcotics!  Ask your surgeon his/her opinion - follow that advice.  Good luck and be well.

Cannot say: but, irritation of the stomach and some reflux symptoms can give pain in the area of the esophagus. Pain in the diaphram (hiatal hernia) often is felt in the arm.
cannot say in your particular case.

Question 8

whenever i drink alcohol my neck, chest, and the area around my ribs hurt. started noticing about 6 months ago. never had any issues before this. ?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Alcohol burns things - it is very destructive to tissue. If you put alcohol on a cut, you know this.  It may be your are getting esophagitis, gastritis or acid peptic disease, or even pancreatic inflammation, depending on how much you are drinking and your body's sensitivity to alcohol. Your physician can help figure it out with more complete history, physical and labs. Stop alcohol use for now.

Question 9

i have chest pains and pain in my left arm and back till i drink alcohol.... why does the drinking make me feel normal?  i also feel light headed

Accepted Answer

You need evaluation: I have no idea what the pain is, or why drinking alcohol makes it better, but you need to talk to your doctor. Hypertension in a 22 year old man is distinctly abnormal, and if your doctor has not tested you for more unusual causes of hypertension (coarctation of the aorta, primary hyperaldosteronism, renal artery stenosis and others), you should be tested for these. Talk to him about drinking also.

Question 10

i have asthma which isnt so bad but whenever i drink alcohol my chest feels heavy so my ? is can asthma have something to do with this and why and how

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: Alcohol affects every part of the body, from brain, to liver, heart, kidneys, blood, skin, only to mention a few. Also, alcohol interferes with your asthma medications & make it difficult to control the attacks.
