Question
I experienced persistent dizziness after drinking, which I have never had before. Five days after this drinking episode, I still feel dizzy and uncomfortable. Could this be related to a health issue?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, persistent dizziness may be related to brain vascular problems. Excessive drinking has a significant impact on the body. Alcohol is mainly metabolized through the liver, and the byproducts of its metabolism and the resulting liver cell metabolic disorder are the main causes of alcoholic liver damage. In addition, alcohol can also cause damage to the brain, heart, central nervous system, and oral pharynx, as well as other parts of the digestive tract. Given that you have been feeling dizzy for five days, it is recommended that you visit a neurologist for a regular examination. If necessary, a head CT or cerebral angiography may be required.
