A member asked:

After drinking alcohol i wake up the day after with a dull feeling around my heart. every so often ill get a shock in the same place.what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest pain: If you're getting chest discomfort after drinking alcohol, that's likely your body telling you to find something else to drink. You may be getting gastric or esophageal irritation. Not sure what your shock sensation could be without more description.
