Question 1

after a night of drinking alcohol the next day my feet swell for 24hrs then goes back to normal?? also get night sweats and lack of sleep since uni

Accepted Answer

Message in a bottle: Your feet are telling you to stay away from alcohol - or make it minimal - before they are damaged badly enough to fail to recover in 1 day. Your inability to process the big change in blood sugar needs an eval. See your Dr. for exam and glucose testing. Avoid diabetes if you can, treat it if you must. Best!

Question 2

does drinking alcohol cause loose stools?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol malabsorptio: Diarrhea, weight loss and osteoporosis are prominent symptoms and clinical signs of alcoholism. One of several possible factors causing this clinical picture is small intestinal damage leading to malabsorption alcohol inhibits the breakdown of nutrients into usable molecules by decreasing secretion of digestive enzymes from the pancreas (2). Alcohol impairs nutrient absorption by damaging the cell.

Question 7

i went out two nights ago and drank too much. since then ive been waking up sweaty. its mild sweat. could it still be from alcohol? are they true night sweats if mild. doesnt even get on clothes?

Accepted Answer

: I would look for other reasons for mild.night sweats such as warm environment, hormonal causes(premenopausal), taking tylenol, advil.or aspirin around bedtime or too warm bed clothes.

Question 8

i've been having night sweats. i'm on zoloft (sertraline) for anxiety, i drink occasionally and i don't work out. i keep it cool in my room. what's the cause?

Accepted Answer

Zoloft (sertraline): Depends on dosage of zoloft (sertraline) & if recent changes in dose were made. Also, alcohol can intensify adverse effects of zoloft (sertraline), such as sweating & activation symptoms.

Question 9

i have low iron and vitamin d . i need to gain some weight fast. i also have ibs and night sweats every night....so should i  drink ensure or boost everyday to put some ponds on  ( like maybe 15 to 20 pounds within a month)?

Accepted Answer

Calories: Ensure and boost are good sources of extra calories, but ou must also eat plenty of good quality food on a balanced diet. Sounds like you're already seeing a doctor about your problem and they have sent lab tests. Green leafy vegetables have lots of iron. Ask your doctor for advice, or consult with dietician. Hope this helps!

Question 10

Accepted Answer

: Time to seek medical attention as the night sweats and weight loss are significant. A thyroid condition among many other possibilities may contribute to current symptoms. Best would be to start with your PCP  who can coordinate workup and possible local referrals.
