A member asked:
My 1st swallow of alcohol has left me with an uncomfortable tightness in the middle of my chest, not reflux. can i become allergic overnight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not: Alcohol allergy is a controversial subject but I suspect your problem is likely from inflammation or irritation at the esophagus especially if it was a hard liquor. People also don't usually become allergic to something on a first encounter.
