5 tips to handle hangover nausea

(BPT) – Party a little too hearty last night? Chances are, you may have woken up with some of the classic symptoms of a hangover: headache, sensitivity to light and noise, fatigue, thirst, irritability and worst of all — nausea.

Hangovers can make it pretty difficult to function the next day. According to the National Institutes of Health, how you feel after over-imbibing in alcohol can vary a great deal from person to person, and depends on how much you drank the night before. But face it, a hangover can make you feel miserable — and eager to find relief, fast.

Unfortunately, there are also a lot of myths out there about what helps you feel better when you’ve got a hangover, and especially how to relieve that most unpleasant symptom of nausea.

Here are some tried and true tips for preventing and coping with hangover nausea.

1. Know your limits

If you’ve had a hangover before, you may have an idea how much you can drink without making yourself sick the next day. However, over-imbibing can impair your judgment — and memory — when it comes to drinking. The National Institutes of Health website warns that any time you drink to the point of intoxication, you risk developing a hangover.

The UK’s National Health Service recommends eating foods containing carbohydrates (pasta or rice) and fats (oils, butter) before drinking, as they can help slow your body’s absorption of alcohol. And the Mayo Clinic reports that lighter-colored alcoholic beverages are somewhat less likely to produce hangover symptoms — though the amount consumed is the most important factor.

2. Stay hydrated

One tactic recommended by WebMD for avoiding over-drinking is to alternate alcoholic drinks with glasses of water. Not only does that slow down your alcohol consumption, it also helps prevent the dehydrating effects of drinking too much — which can also contribute to feeling nauseated the next day.

If you wake up with nausea after a night of drinking, sipping slowly on cold water or fizzy drinks like clear soda or ginger ale can help you rehydrate and settle your stomach a little.

3. Use acupressure wrist bands

Specially designed wrist bands from Sea-Band Nausea Relief stimulate an exact acupressure point by a plastic stud attached to the inside of the band. This specific acupressure point in the wrist is called the P6 (or Nei Guan in Chinese medicine), which can help relieve nausea and upset stomach when pressure is applied. Just adjust the soft and comfortable wrist band to fit snugly on your wrist to help relieve nausea within minutes.

“Acupressure helps to relieve nausea and upset stomach with no need for medications, which can sometimes make you feel worse or harm your liver,” said family practitioner Dr. Ian Cracknell. “Sea-Bands are an effective, low-cost and drug-free alternative that I often recommend to my patients. They are clinically proven to reduce nausea in patients caused by things like motion sickness, migraines, morning sickness and hangovers.”

Approaching the holidays, it’s a great idea to stock up on re-usable Sea-Bands for yourself, and as great stocking stuffers! Sea-Band wrist bands are available in pharmacies everywhere. To learn more about Sea-Bands and how they work, visit Sea-Band.com/FAQs.

4. Don’t try the “hair of the dog”

The old expression “hair of the dog that bit you” refers to the idea that having more alcohol the morning after can make you feel better. In fact, drinking more the next day is not likely to help.

Because alcohol irritates the stomach lining and increases the release of acid, the National Institutes of Health warns that drinking more the next morning is only likely to increase your stomach irritation and feelings of nausea.

5. Eat lightly

To further aid your stomach in its hangover recovery, eating lightly can help you feel better. Sipping on soup or broth, or nibbling on crackers, can help reduce those unpleasant feelings of nausea.

The upshot is, to completely avoid the risk of developing a hangover, you would need to avoid alcohol altogether. But if you do drink, limiting your alcohol intake to no more than one or two drinks (depending on the amount of alcohol in each drink) and not drinking on an empty stomach can help to some degree. Ultimately, the best cure for hangover nausea (and other unpleasant symptoms) is time.

How to Stop Throwing Up After Drinking Alcohol

This can make it more likely you’ll experience small tears that can damage the esophagus and potentially lead to bleeding.

Drinking alcohol to excess can lead to a host of hangover symptoms, including throwing up. Vomiting is your body’s response to excess toxins from alcohol in your body.

While vomiting may make you feel awful, the risks from excess toxins can be damaging to your system. That’s why it’s best to let your body do its thing, while taking steps to prevent complications like dehydration.

Throwing up is your body’s way of ridding itself of a toxin — in this case, alcohol. Instead of stopping yourself from throwing up, it’s best to simply help yourself feel better until your body’s gotten rid of all the alcohol.

Alcohol overdose or alcohol poisoning is a potentially life threatening occurrence that happens when a person drinks so much that their body can’t compensate for all the alcohol in their bloodstream. This causes symptoms like confusion, vomiting, seizures, slow heart rate, problems breathing, and low body temperatures. Alcohol poisoning also impairs a person’s gag reflex, so they can’t prevent choking on their own vomit.

Anyone who consumes a large amount of alcohol in a short time period can experience alcohol poisoning. If you see a person you think may be experiencing alcohol poisoning, turn them on their side and call 911. Acting quickly may save their life.

Should you make yourself throw up after a night of drinking?

You’ll probably notice one suggestion that didn’t make the above list: intentionally making yourself throw up after a night of drinking.

While you may have a friend that swears by this approach, it’s a dangerous one. Making yourself throw up can put greater strain on your esophagus. This can make it more likely you’ll experience small tears that can damage the esophagus and potentially lead to bleeding.

Intentional vomiting also increases your risk for acid reflux, damage to your teeth, and aspiration. This is when your stomach contents accidentally go into your lungs.

If you feel like you’re going to vomit, it’s best to let it happen naturally. You’ll retch less and reduce your risk for additional health problems that can happen when you make yourself throw up.

Complications of throwing up after drinking alcohol

Throwing up after drinking can make you feel awful. In addition to nausea and vomiting, you may have other hangover symptoms like body aches and a headache.

One of the most significant complications is dehydration. This can affect your body’s ability to function, and can even damage your kidneys. Drinking even small sips of fluids periodically can help to prevent dehydration from occurring.

Other potential, but rarer complications from throwing up after drinking include:

• damage to the lining of the stomach or esophagus
• gastrointestinal bleeding due to irritation or tears in the esophageal lining
• aspiration of vomit into the lungs, which can lead to pneumonia

Ideally, these will not occur after a night of drinking, but if you make binge drinking a habit, the likelihood of more severe complications increases.

Why drinking alcohol makes you throw up

While it doesn’t always feel like it, vomiting is one of your body’s protective reflexes against toxins. When you drink alcohol, your body breaks it down into acetaldehyde, a by-product of alcohol.

Your body can’t keep up

If you don’t overdo it on the drinking, your body (specifically, your liver) neutralizes acetaldehyde with a substance it makes called glutathione. Your body processes the two compounds, and you’re fine.

Except when you drink too much. Then, your liver can’t make enough glutathione to keep up with what you’re drinking. Eventually, your body realizes the liver isn’t going to be able to keep up with how much acetaldehyde is present and gets rid of it another way — through vomiting.

Alcohol irritates the stomach lining

There are other factors at play that can make you vomit after drinking heavily. In addition to the buildup of acetaldehyde, excess alcohol can irritate the stomach lining. This causes a buildup of acid that makes you feel more nauseated.

Chronic alcohol exposure may cause gastritis

People who drink alcohol to excess on a regular basis are at increased risk for a condition called alcohol gastritis. This is when chronic alcohol exposure irritates the stomach lining and damages it.

People with alcohol gastritis can experience frequent stomach-related concerns, such as ulcers, nausea, and acid reflux. Chronic alcohol interferes with absorption of nutrients and is linked to cancer, diabetes, pancreatitis, cirrhosis, and more.

There are times when throwing up after a night of drinking turns from something you’ll get over to something you need to see a doctor for.

Seek medical treatment if you:

• have been continuously vomiting for more than 24 hours
• can’t keep fluids or food down
• have signs of dehydration, such as dizziness, dark urine, or inability to pee for some time
• see blood in your vomit
• start to have problems breathing
• have a temperature greater than 101. 5°F

Becoming dehydrated can lead to a number of health problems in your body. That’s why it’s best to seek medical treatment sooner than later if you have dehydration signs.

Usually, hangover symptoms like vomiting will go away within 24 hoursTrusted Source. If you do vomit after drinking, it’s best to let your stomach upset run its course.

Taking steps to prevent dehydration can help you feel better once the alcohol toxins are out of your body. If your vomiting continues or you start to get dehydrated, seek immediate medical attention.

How to Get Rid of a Hangover in Las Vegas

There’s a reason the iconic buddy comedy “The Hangover” takes place in Las Vegas — the desert oasis famed for its wild nightlife. But if you’ve had a bit too much to drink in Las Vegas, you don’t have to miss any action due to a hangover. You can even avoid the unpleasant hangover symptoms of nausea, dehydration, headaches and fatigue when you take the correct steps.  

While there’s no magic potion for curing hangovers, you can bounce back from a night out more quickly if you know the top tricks for dealing with day-after symptoms. Below, you’ll find out all there is to know about hangover causes and how to get rid of a hangover fast at home.

What Causes a Hangover?

A hangover results from drinking too much alcohol. For some people, a single alcoholic beverage is enough to cause a hangover in the morning, while others may be able to indulge more without experiencing symptoms.

These are the main effects of having too much alcohol.

• Dehydration: Alcohol makes you have to urinate more frequently, which can lead to dehydration, often marked by thirst, lightheadedness and dizziness.
• Inflammation: Alcohol prompts an inflammatory response from the immune system, potentially causing symptoms like memory issues, an inability to focus, decreased appetite or a loss of interest in usual activities.
• Increased stomach acid: Alcohol can irritate your stomach lining and cause abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting by increasing the production of stomach acid while delaying stomach emptying.
• Low blood sugar: Alcohol may make your blood sugar dip below a healthy level, which could lead to weakness, fatigue, shakiness, mood swings and even seizures if it dips too low.
• Larger blood vessels: Alcohol makes blood vessels expand, which can result in headaches.
• Drowsiness: While alcohol can make you tired, it typically disrupts the sleep cycle throughout the night, leaving you groggy the next day.

What Eases a Hangover?

While a hangover can put a damper on your morning, you can take a few steps the night before to prevent regrets the next day. If you know you will be drinking more than usual, try following these strategies.

• Drinking prickly pear extract: Taking prickly pear extract several hours before drinking can help decrease your hangover symptoms’ intensity by about half. While experts aren’t sure how this substance works, the hypothesis is that the extract contains a protein that lowers the inflammation you can get after overindulging in alcoholic drinks.
• Eating enough: Make sure you eat a complete meal before drinking alcohol. Having food in your stomach when drinking can keep your blood alcohol concentration in check by slowing the body’s absorption of the alcohol.
• Staying hydrated: Drinking water can also slow the rate at which the body absorbs alcohol, which ultimately lowers your BAC. Try to alternate alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the night. Also, drink more water before going to bed to lessen alcohol’s dehydrating effects.

However, if you can’t stave off a hangover and wake up with your head pounding, you still have some remedies to turn to for relief. While there’s no guaranteed way to cure a hangover, these methods may help minimize your symptoms.

• Have some sugar: Because alcohol lowers your blood sugar, having a high-carbohydrate breakfast or sipping on a glass of juice is essential for bringing your sugar levels back up as your body works the alcohol out of your system.
• Avoid overeating: When too much alcohol is present, the stomach empties more slowly, which can cause indigestion, nausea and vomiting. Having a large, greasy breakfast can worsen these symptoms.
• Drink water and caffeine: Drinking water in the morning is crucial for counteracting alcohol’s dehydrating effects. Pedialyte or a sports drink can also help you rehydrate quickly because they contain electrolytes. Drinking caffeine can also help alleviate hangover symptoms by increasing your heart rate and constricting your blood vessels to correct the dilated blood vessels that alcohol causes.
• Get potassium: As a natural muscle relaxer, potassium can help you overcome any muscle aches from a hangover. Bananas are rich in potassium and may offer some symptom relief.
• Take a pain medication: Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen can help decrease the headache and other pains that may come with a hangover. However, make sure you don’t take anything containing acetaminophen, which can cause severe liver issues when mixed with alcohol.

Should You See a Doctor About a Hangover?

In general, a hangover after one night’s drinking will go away on its own. However, you may want to consult your doctor if frequent hangovers are beginning to affect your quality of life, including your ability to perform at work or maintain healthy relationships.

Additionally, there are some more severe signs and symptoms to watch out for after a night of heavy drinking. These symptoms may indicate alcohol poisoning, which is a life-threatening emergency. If someone who has been drinking exhibits any of the following signs, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately:

• Seizures
• Confusion
• Irregular breathing — more than 10 seconds between breaths
• Slow breathing — fewer than eight breaths per minute
• Vomiting
• Pale or blue-tinged skin
• Hypothermia — low body temperature
• Difficulty remaining conscious
• Passing out and staying unresponsive

Can IV Therapy Help a Hangover?

IV therapy is one of the best ways to ease hangover symptoms quickly. Though a typical hangover lasts about 24 hours, you don’t have to spend all day feeling miserable if you receive IV therapy. IV packages deliver rapid rehydration, which will help you recover from a hangover quicker.

While other hangover cures — like drinking lots of water, eating sugar and taking pain medications — can take hours to provide relief, IV therapy can help rehydrate your body and replenish its nutrients much faster. IV therapy infuses crucial fluids and vitamins straight into your bloodstream so your body can absorb them as quickly as possible. This treatment allows you to start feeling better in about half an hour.

Specifically, these IV package ingredients will help you overcome a hangover.

• IV fluid: The electrolyte-rich IV fluid will help you rehydrate faster.
• Glutathione: This powerful antioxidant can help combat hangover symptoms by lowering the body’s acetaldehyde toxicity.
• Vitamin B complex: B vitamins provide you with a much-needed nutrient boost after drinking too much.
• Vitamin B12: This B vitamin, specifically, can help you overcome hangover-related fatigue.
• Anti-nausea and vomiting medicine: This medicine can reduce alcohol-caused irritation and inflammation in your stomach and gastrointestinal tract to quickly end your nausea and vomiting.
• Anti-heartburn and reflux medicine: This medicine can ease uncomfortable hangover symptoms by temporarily decreasing the amount of acid secreted in your stomach to relieve the irritation caused by alcohol.
• Anti-inflammatory, headache, and pain medicine: This medicine helps minimize the aches, fever, headaches, and general pain that usually come with a hangover.

Is There Medication For Hangovers?

Overindulgence in the holiday season is a plague that’s very familiar to many among us. All it takes is a bit too much champagne when ringing in the New Year and all of a sudden, January 2nd hits. Of course, the risk of a hangover is not restricted to New Year’s celebrations. Partygoers and fun-lovers of all kinds risk running afoul of our body’s natural balance when we indulge a little too hard and find ourselves reaping the rewards of our over-eager behavior. But is there any way to lessen the impact of a hangover?

The unpleasant symptoms of a hangover include lethargy, dehydration, diarrhea, shakiness, headaches, dry mouth, dry eyes, nausea, low blood sugar, and sleep disturbances.

“There is no cure for hangovers, we can only relieve symptoms,” says supervising pharmacist at Medly Pharmacy, Jacky Zhang. “The products you can use for headache can be aspirin or ibuprofen. Do not use Tylenol because it’s bad for your liver, since you just ingested a large amount of alcohol. In regards to diarrhea and vomiting, I would recommend intake of Pedialite to hydrate your body. As for any stomach or nausea, you could take any antacids. You just need rest. Get plenty of sleep and allow the body to naturally recover itself.”

Hangovers are in fact an immune response and don’t have anything to do with electrolyte imbalances, ketones or anything else. They are caused by inflammation.

Anti-inflammatories

Because hangovers are caused by inflammation, aspirin and other anti-inflammatories like naproxen and ibuprofen may be effective at resolving the aches and pains associated with a hangover. However, they may also further irritate the stomach lining, so it’s advisable to at least not take these drugs on an empty stomach.

Two regular-strength tablets of aspirin, naproxen or ibuprofen before bed should help reduce the severity of your hangover. Note that acetaminophen is not an anti-inflammatory, so taking it won’t help your hangover symptoms any.

Nausea medication

Nausea is one of the classic symptoms of a hangover, but you don’t need to suffer silently as there are plenty of effective anti-nausea medications on the market. Zofran, Pepcid, and even some humble alka-seltzer will all help to combat the shaky stomach of a post-party hangover sufferer.

Prickly pear extract

A 2004 study showed a reduction in severity of hangover symptoms of up to 50% if taken two hours before drinking. Though the way it works is not fully understood, it may function as an anti-inflammatory.

Supplements in the U.S. are not regulated or tested for safety, so be careful when choosing a brand of supplements.

Vitamin B-6

Studies show positive results for vitamin B-6 — not vitamin B-12 — when it comes to reducing the impact of hangover symptoms. Take 400 mg when you start drinking, 400 mg three hours later, and 400 mg when your night comes to an end in order to receive the best possible benefit.

There are other things you can do to control the severity and duration of your hangover, such as drink lots of water, sleep as much as possible, and avoid drinks with a high degree of congeners, such as whiskey, tequila, bourbon, and brandy. Congeners impart those drinks with their color and flavor, but they give you worse hangovers than clear drinks like vodka. All the same, the list of medications above will help you if you run into trouble and have hangovers you need to fix. Just take care not to do anything too strenuous while your body recovers, and take note of the rest for next time.

9 BEST hangover cures for headaches and nausea | London Evening Standard

I

f you are tired of regrettable Sunday blues and a day wasted on the sofa feeling the effects of the night before, these are the products and practices that will help you feel like your former self.

While we are all looking for that quick fix solution, we hate to tell you that the ultimate hangover cure does not exist, expect for not drinking in the first place, BUT there are ways to manage the symptoms.

As we get older, the headaches, sicky feeling, fatigue, dizziness and dehydration feels more acute and our once boundless stamina starts to go downhill – popping an ibuprofen or Aspirin may not be an effective solution (and should never be taken on an empty stomach).

Why do we get hangovers and what are the best cures?

First and foremost, sleep is always the best medicine as alcohol can alter your brain activity while you are hitting the hay, resulting in a disturbed snooze. It is also important to line your stomach and stay hydrated. Alcohol is a diuretic and so you should always drink one glass of water for each alcoholic beverage you consumer to counteract the dehydration. Contrary to popular belief, hair of the dog does not cure your hangover and only delays the effects.

There are also a few vitamins and minerals that work to refuel your body and combat the overindulgence to make the next day that extra bit easier. We have consulted the experts – and tried and tested ourselves (it was a tough job but someone had to do it) to find the best ways to fight that hangover feeling.

Hangover

Drinking alcoholic beverages can lead to a hangover. The amount of alcohol that can be consumed before a hangover is experienced varies from person to person based on a number of factors including gender, age, weight, and health status. There are a variety of factors that contribute to experiencing a hangover.

Signs and Symptoms of a Hangover

• Headache
• Dry mouth
• Heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea
• Fatigue and “feeling sluggish”
• Body aches
• Red eyes
• Inability to concentrate

As a diuretic, alcohol leads to increased urination often causing dehydration, electrolyte imbalances and lower blood sugar levels. Alcohol also has toxic effects on the brain and liver and irritating effects on the stomach and intestine. In particular, dark or colored alcohols (i.e. whiskey, red wine, and tequila) contain small amounts of congener, which is a toxin that may make experiencing a hangover more likely. At high enough levels, alcohol (a depressant) may lead to decreased respiration resulting in coma and death.

Treating a Hangover

Prevention is the best medicine. The best way to treat a hangover is through prevention. Hangovers can be prevented by limiting the amount of alcohol you choose to consume at any given occasion and being sure to alternate alcoholic beverages with non-alcoholic beverages. Water, sports drinks with electrolytes, and juice help replenish electrolytes and vitamins lost when drinking alcohol.

If you are experiencing a hangover, over the counter pain medication and antacids may help relieve symptoms. Acetaminophen based pain relievers, when taken as directed, should be safe for most students to use. Pain relievers with aspirin or ibuprofen should be taken only with food to prevent stomach irritation.

• Call the Nurse Advice Line (512) 475-6877 (NURS) if you or someone you know are experiencing persistent nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea following alcohol use please call.
• Call 911 or go to a local emergency room immediately if someone you know is experiencing a potentially deadly alcohol overdose with any of the following symptoms:
  • loss of consciousness (cannot be roused when shaken),
  • slow, shallow or irregular breathing,
  • vomiting while unconscious,
  • seizure-like activity (involuntary movements of any part of the body) or
  • pale or bluish skin color.

The Best Hangover Cures – The Stay Club

When there are positive vibes, the alcohol is flowing & you are simply in the mood to celebrate for no reason whatsoever, you already know what is going to come next. A dirty, sneaky hangover. In under 24 hours, you go from being level-headed & composed to being overwhelmed with a mind-blowing headache & feeling sick at the slightest turn. What do you do? Here, we share the most effective tips on how to cure a hangover after a fun-filled night of drinking. But first, let’s dip inside on what causes these dreaded moments.

What Exactly Is A Hangover?

The main culprit is acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde plays a huge contribution to the cause of hangovers. A metabolite of (ethanal) aka alcohol, this chemical can interfere with your body’s natural balance and insufficient quantity levels can be 30 times more toxic than the alcohol itself. These symptoms tend to bring about motion sickness, nausea, vomiting and can lead to cogitative effects like memory loss. Which I’m sure many can relate to.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

The best way to avoid a hangover is to simply not drink at all or to not drink in excess amounts. Yes, you read right. However, the reality is… most people will willingly avoid this step and we don’t blame you. I mean, who doesn’t want an endless round of Jager bombs! Here at the Stay Club, we have gathered effective steps on how to avoid a hangover.

1. Don’t Start the Party on An Empty Stomach

To help minimize the effects of alcohol, ensure that you’re drinking gradually on a full stomach. The fat will help line the walls of your stomach & this will help slow down the rate at which your body absorbs the drug. It’s best to stick to carbohydrates. When in doubt, eat a nice plate of pasta!

2. Keep Calm & Drink Water!

If you feel that you’re about to be overwhelmed with drinking, it’s always a good idea to take a break and have a bottle or a glass of water. This will keep you hydrated & and reduce any hangover symptoms that will most likely occur the next day. Dehydration is the main cause of headaches, so ensure that you have a glass before your bedtime. Trust me, it will change your life!

3. What’s the rush, hun?!

The effect of alcohol tends to magically creep up on you when you least expect it. Funnily enough, a lot of people fall into the trap of drinking continuously without knowing that at any moment, the alcohol will finally pounce, and you won’t be able to handle it. Your body takes up to 1 hour to break down one unit of alcohol which is a shot. Take your time, leave gaps & enjoy the gradual stimulation. You’re most likely to remember your night the next day *wink wink*.

4. The Lighter the drink, the better the hangover

Picking your poison can determine your hangover levels, this is due to the congeners in the drink, an element that is produced when the alcohol is fermented. Dark alcoholic drinks such as red wine, brandy, or dark rum will have more congeners, whereas, white wine, vodka & gin will have less. To sum up, pick your poison wisely, you’ve been warned!

It’s Too Late for That, I Need A Cure!

Now, if you’ve gone past the “avoiding a hangover” stage, and you are knee-deep, then this section is dedicated specially for you. There are many stood-by cures out there & can range in different methods or styles reflecting the drinking culture of that said community. For example, you can cure a hangover by drinking coffee (U.S), drinking green tea (China), or by eating shrimp (Mexico). However, it’s all about finding a cure that best works for you. Though, the question is, do hangover cures work? Scientifically, there is no real evidence that these cures help to relieve them. Fortunately, there are ways to lessen some symptoms and provide further relief.

Find the Best Hangover Cure

Now we can’t magically make your hangover disappear with a wink of an eye, however, we can offer the next best thing to help manage your heavy hangovers & get you back to normal. Remember, the best hangover cure can be a unique remedy that your body is most receptive to. Here is an official list of how to cure a hangover. These are tired, tested & safe methods that you can experiment with:

1. Pills, Pills, Pills

Your first thought to relieve your hangover is to probably grab a load of painkillers. We get it, though it’s not recommended, we understand that some hangovers can be excruciatingly uncomfortable. However, by taking the recommended dose, it will do the job, when you need it most. Ibuprofen is the most effective, at a proposed dose. Accompany your ibuprofen with a nice, chilled glass of water before you go to bed. There’s nothing better.

2. Recharge Your Battery

Time & rest is probably one of the best cures for a hangover. Drinking can often disrupt your sleep cycle, which can intensify your hangover, increasing your fatigue and irritability. It’s very important to reenergize your battery, even if you have important commitments the next day. Call in late or take the day off and allow time and rest to fix you up back to your full form!

3. Take a Shower!

Once you’ve rested and feel like you can stand on both feet, freshen up by having a long, cool shower. This will help wake up your senses. Try to avoid a hot temperature as the steam may worsen your nausea. However, if a cool temperature is a no-go for you, open those windows!

4. Get Some Grub in Your Tum!

Though a sensitive method of choice, it’s still a very important step to take on the road to recovery. Now you can’t just eat any old meal as your stomach is still too sensitive. Start with something simple & bland like a slice of bread or crackers. These carbs will help regulate your blood sugar, reducing nausea and dizziness. Incorporate some fresh fruits like bananas to increase your potassium levels. If you’re a drinking pro, a classic fry-up is always a good idea.

5. Water for your matter

Alcohol can dehydrate your body severely and it’s very important to rehydrate it, especially after the numerous toilet breaks you’ve had the night before. Have a good’ ol glass of water before you go to sleep and the moment you wake up. Pour a fresh glass every few hours to ensure that its constantly flowing throughout your body.

How Can I Get Rid of Nausea?

Probably one of the most uncomfortable symptoms of hangovers is having waves of nausea. Here are some remedies to help you relieve them.

90,000 Alcohol Hangovers – How to Quickly Relieve Symptoms at Home

Some studies indicate that hangovers are more likely to occur in people who consume light or moderate alcoholic beverages – wine, beer, cocktails, according to the Harvard Medical School.

To the topic All about a hangover: symptoms, causes and how to deal with it

However, there are several opposite studies showing that people with alcoholism have the worst hangover symptoms.And their alcohol dependence arises from the fact that they fall into a vicious circle – they drink to relieve symptoms.

Hangover – symptoms:

• Unbearable throbbing headache;
• Dry mouth, heartburn, thirst;
• Palpitations, heart rhythm disturbances;
• Increased excretion of urine, disturbed stool, diarrhea;
• Sharp mental perception of the environment, trembling of the limbs and the whole body, irritability;
• Redness of eyes, sensitivity to light and noise, loss of appetite;
• Muscle pain;
• Depression can cover the so-called “adrenaline anguish” – a feeling of guilt, a feeling that the day before he did something inappropriate and wrong.

How to get rid of a hangover and nausea after drinking at home

• The most common method of dealing with hangover symptoms is one or two doses of alcohol. However, doctors and experts strongly advise against this method, because it can lead to alcoholism.
• During a hangover, it is advised to drink plenty of fluids. Alcohol suppresses the release of vasopressin, a hormone that lowers urine levels.As a result, a person urinates frequently, which leads to excessive loss of body fluids. If the hangover is accompanied by diarrhea, sweating, or vomiting, then this further provokes dehydration. Therefore, even if you are nauseous and not thirsty, even a few sips of water can help.
• Alcohol can lower blood sugar levels, so in theory, fatigue and headaches could be caused by a lack of carbohydrates. Moreover, given the fact that some people forget to eat and eat before a feast.If you feel hungover, eat. This will allow you to recover faster.
• Aspirin, ibuprofen, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help with headaches and general ailments. However, consider that in excessive doses, NSAIDs can irritate the stomach, which is already affected by alcohol. Don’t take acetaminophen (paracetamol). If alcohol is still in the body, it can increase the toxic effect of acetaminophen on the liver.
• Try some coffee or tea.Caffeine may not have any anti-hangover properties, but it may provide some energy. However, keep in mind that coffee is diuretic and can increase dehydration.
• In case of nausea, try drinking regular activated charcoal (5-7 tablets) or something from an absorbent like Enterosgel or Atoxil).

Nauseous after alcohol – what is the reason? How to solve the problem?

After a fun holiday and drinking alcohol, many people often have negative consequences.After all, the retribution for this is nausea, vomiting, headaches. If a person is sick after alcohol, what to do in such a situation?

With a hangover, do not fight vomiting or nausea. After all, this reaction is quite natural and even useful. Since the decomposition products of alcohol contain toxic substances, they must be removed from the body. If vomiting is absent, but vomiting after alcohol, what to do? You need to try to induce vomiting yourself. After that, there will be quick relief.In order to provoke vomiting, it is recommended to drink a liter of water. Until clean water comes out, you should drink.

No need to take medication for nausea. They can only prevent the body from excreting toxic foods, and a severe hangover will last longer. At the same time, the harm from drunk alcohol will be much more serious.

Nausea with bile

What to do if you feel sick with bile after alcohol? In the case when the stomach is already completely cleared, and only bile comes out, we can say that the condition will soon improve.Despite the fact that this can take quite a long time, the body still does what it needs to do.

In the case when bile comes out with vomiting, the gallbladder contracts (this means that the load on the liver has decreased, as well as the tension in the pathways through which bile is excreted), and it itself enters the duodenum (the load on the pancreas). At the same time, the stomach pushes it through the esophagus, thereby reducing its sensitivity. This brings relief to the person and the nausea goes away.

Usually, vomiting stops after several passes of bile. If this does not happen, then you need to call an ambulance.

Vomiting does not stop

It also happens that vomiting does not stop and is very sick after alcohol. What to do? If this happens for more than a day, and only water with bile comes out, then you need to take “Tserukal”. It is recommended to drink the product with a small amount of water, so as not to immediately spit out the pill. If it works, then after 15 minutes you need to drink another one.If the pills did not help, and the vomiting did not stop, then you need to call a doctor who can inject a fast-acting agent intravenously.

If vomiting and nausea torments a person for too long each time, even if a very small amount of alcohol is drunk, then it would be logical to contact a gastroenterologist. He will check the liver, pancreas, duodenum. You can also take tests for the content of zinc in the blood. Its lack affects the duration of the state of intoxication.

Blood in vomit

If a person vomits blood after alcohol, what to do? In the event that there is little blood in the vomit, one should not think that this is normal. After the hangover is over, you need to get your GI tract tested right away.

If there is a large amount of blood in the vomit, an ambulance should be called immediately. It is impossible to hesitate in such a situation.

Are nausea and vomiting dangerous?

If, after a drink or a hangover, vomiting begins, but you should not go to bed, as there is a serious danger of choking on your back while sleeping.You need someone to watch over the sleeper. In case of danger, turn it over on its side.

Vomiting and nausea can be dangerous if they are caused by a serious illness that is caused or worsened by a person’s intoxication. You need to be able to distinguish a hangover syndrome from anxiety symptoms.

Eating for nausea

Let’s say a person is sick in the morning after alcohol. What to do? Many people advise to eat fatty soup through force. They say it helps.But it’s not like that. It would be much wiser not to prevent the body from cleaning itself from the poisonous decomposition products of alcohol. It is not necessary to load it with new food until it is completely cleansed. Eating heavy meals with nausea can only be beneficial as a means to provoke vomiting. But it is easier for this purpose to use plain water.

If you want to eat from a hangover, then a person should try to eat only light food. The most optimal foods are bananas, yoghurts and citrus fruits. Bananas will help to replenish the stored potassium.They are easily tolerated with prolonged nausea. Citrus fruits are high in citric acid. It helps to quickly remove toxins from the body and improves metabolism. Yoghurts, on the other hand, contain vitamins belonging to group B. They are the ones that the body loses when it processes alcohol. These vitamins improve the digestion of food, normalize the nervous system and the work of the heart and muscles, and also help with nausea.

Vomiting to prevent hangovers

What to do if you feel sick after drinking alcohol? Immediately after you feel that you have consumed too much, you need to induce vomiting.In this case, the stomach will be cleansed both of the alcohol that has lingered in it, and of unnecessary food, which, during a hangover, loads the liver and pancreas.

Vomiting as a means of temporary sobering

If a person is drunk, but urgently needs to sober up for a while, then vomiting can help. After the stomach is empty, you can drink strong black tea or coffee. These drinks will help you regain your sobriety for a while.

Which makes you sick with a hangover

Alcohol has a very negative effect on the body.Nausea and vomiting after drinking is caused by an acid-base imbalance. After all, all products formed during the breakdown of alcohol are acidic.

That is why soda solution helps many people. It is found in many hangover remedies. But it is worth paying attention to the fact that soda can cause an increase in acidity in the stomach. Therefore, it is better to drink mineral water.

When do you need to induce vomiting yourself?

One of the main causes of nausea with a hangover is that fluid in the body is not redistributed correctly.Edema occurs in the tissues, and in the circulatory system, on the contrary, dehydration. For proper redistribution, it is better to drink water while taking diuretics. These include green tea, non-alcoholic beer or Veroshpiron. Excess fluid is excreted along with the toxic substances that remain in the body. The water entering the bloodstream normalizes the blood volume. All this leads to a decrease in edema, the removal of harmful substances and an improvement in the general condition of the body.Before drinking water, it is necessary to compensate for the missing amount of mineral salts. To do this, you can drink no more than one glass of brine.

If you feel very sick after drinking, what should you do? I need to drink mineral water. It is several times more effective than usual for a hangover. Mineral water helps to shift the acid-base balance to the alkaline side. By doing this, she will eliminate the hangover, and, consequently, vomiting and nausea. Mineral water enters the bloodstream faster than ordinary water. Because of this, the swelling will go away earlier, harmful substances will also be removed from the body much faster.

If a person, having drunk the first glass of water, feels that he is drunk again, it means that there is still unprocessed alcohol in the intestines and stomach. He began to enter the blood together with water. What to do to avoid getting sick after alcohol that has not yet been processed? It is advisable to cleanse the intestines and stomach. Cleansing the stomach occurs by induction of vomiting. An enema is a very effective and quick way to cleanse the intestines. With very strong intoxication, it will rid the body of the toxic elements formed after the breakdown of alcohol.It will also eliminate improper fluid distribution. If an enema is not an option, then it can be replaced with a non-toxic laxative, of which there are a large number in the pharmacy. The main thing is to consult with a knowledgeable person.

🧬 Activated carbon in the fight against a hangover

GMS Clinic gastroenterologist Aleksey Golovenko talks in his Telegram channel “GastroPub” about the effectiveness of activated charcoal and other sorbents in the fight against hangovers.

Drinking a lot, but not wanting to die in the morning, is an unfulfilled dream of humanity.As in the case of other dreams: drinking without damaging the liver, but protecting it with “hepatoprotectors”, or losing weight without dieting or increasing physical activity, but taking weight loss drugs (laxatives with hay) – the Internet offers many simple solutions. The most popular is to drink activated charcoal at night.

A bit of theory

The theory is as follows: “Activated carbon is a porous substance: the surface area of ​​one tablet of coal is comparable to the area of ​​a tennis court (somewhere around 250 sq.m.). We feel that we have gone too far with alcohol – we take activated charcoal at the rate of one tablet for every 10 kg of weight. Excess alcohol is not absorbed. We feel normal in the morning. ” Now for the hard facts:

• In case of serious poisoning (most often, an overdose of paracetamol or antidepressants), activated charcoal is prescribed in a dose of 50 grams (sic!). Even assuming that this will help, it will be technically difficult to swallow 200 tablets of domestic activated carbon.
• Even at a dose of 50 g, activated charcoal is effective only in the first hour after poisoning. If activated charcoal is taken immediately after poisoning, there is a chance to bind most of the toxin. When taken after 30 minutes, absorption will decrease only by 47.3%, after an hour – by 40.07%, and after 2 hours – only by 16.5%. Thus, it is necessary to take 200 tablets directly in the process of drinking alcohol.
• Well, and most importantly: activated carbon, apparently, practically does not bind ethanol! The American Academy of Clinical Toxicology does not explicitly recommend the use of coal in case of poisoning: heavy metals (arsenic, mercury, lead), inorganic ionic substances (lithium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iodine), corrosive substances (acids and alkalis) and alcohols (including ethanol ).

What could happen?

The reason for this ban is simple: the condition of the poisoned person will not improve. And problems can arise. For example:

• Vomiting. In a study of volunteers, vomiting occurred in 8% of participants who took activated charcoal.
• Aspiration of coal (ingestion of it into the respiratory tract). Activated carbon, according to the instructions (alas, foreign, not domestic), is contraindicated in case of possible loss of consciousness.Poisoned patients are recommended to be intubated (tube for artificial respiration) before charcoal administration.
• Impossibility of adequate endoscopy. If in the morning a person vomited “coffee grounds” (digested blood), the pressure dropped, the stomach became very ill, that is, there were signs of bleeding (for example, from a stomach ulcer), a gastroscopy should be done within 24 hours. The purpose of the procedure is to find the source of bleeding and stop it (with a clip-clip, a coagulator, or the introduction of vasoconstrictor drugs through an endoscope).Activated charcoal, firstly, itself stains the stool black (and this is very similar to melena – black stool after bleeding) and can cause vomiting, strongly reminiscent of “coffee grounds”. Secondly, the endoscopist will not be able to see anything in the stomach. You will have to “flush” the stomach before the procedure. Trust me, a hangover is better.

What will help?

Will Enterosgel (Polymethylsiloxane polyhydrate), which is positioned as a “hangover remedy”, help? As in the case of activated carbon, there is a theoretical basis: the suction surface area of ​​the gel is already 10 times larger than that of activated carbon.The drug obviously will not complicate the endoscopist’s work, if it comes to bleeding, and to eat half a tube is not to swallow 200 tablets of coal. But let’s enable skeptic mode:

• The active ingredient is not mentioned in any foreign manual. But it is present in the domestic, adjacent to phospholipids to “protect the liver.”
• Polymethylsiloxane is not known to the FDA website, Cochrane database, or Rxlist.
• In Pubmed about polymethylsiloxane as a sorbent (and not a substance for chromatography, where it is also used as a gel) – exclusively Russian or Ukrainian articles.

A hangover is caused by changes in the composition of the blood, not the contents of the digestive tract.

Anxiety, headache and other symptoms are a consequence of the accumulation of acetaldehyde (alcohol in the liver turns into it), acidosis (“acidification” of the body) and dehydration. The transformation of ethanol into toxic acetaldehyde is almost completely (75-98%) carried out in the liver, after which the latter enters the bloodstream. The biochemical processes leading to its accumulation do not depend in any way on the quality of alcohol, but are inevitable consequences of its metabolism.Tying anything in the stomach in the morning is a pointless undertaking.

What to do?

1. Drink responsibly.
2. Do not overeat while consuming alcohol: there is a risk of slowing down the absorption of alcohol (it will still get into the bloodstream) and “overdrink”.
3. Drink responsibly.
4. Reflex ejection of stomach contents through the mouth – if there is a urge to do so.
5. Drink responsibly (alcohol is harmful to your health!).
6. More fluids (ethanol-free) during alcohol intake, and after, and in the morning.

90,000 6 questions about a hangover

Today, everyone who celebrated the New Year with an abundant drink of alcohol has at least a headache. For the most part – a person literally “dies”, experiencing nausea, dizziness, tremors of the extremities and other unpleasant symptoms in the form of arrhythmia and even hypertension. Why we are sick, how to properly spend the day after a feast, how to be treated at home – about this in our today’s material.

1

They drank the same yesterday, but it’s only bad for me – why?

Answer: A hangover is an unpleasant painful condition caused by an excessive dose of alcohol for the body. Moreover, this dose is different for each person – someone feels great after heavy libations, the other suffers after a few glasses of wine.Often the degree of intoxication and hangover the next day depends on the weight category. Thin people tolerate alcohol much worse than strong-built people.

2

Is it possible to get rid of discomfort at home?

Doctor-narcologist Alexey Larionov answers: Yes.First you need to clear the stomach, free it from the remnants of alcohol. To do this, in 10-15 minutes you need to drink 2 liters of still mineral water. Activated charcoal helps to reduce intoxication and relieve nausea – 1 tablet per 10 kg of your weight, as well as other pharmacy absorbents.

For a hangover headache, aspirin with water or effervescent aspirin in a glass of water can help.

If you suffer from colic in the abdomen, you need to drink drugs that restore the normal state of the intestines, suppressing dysbiosis.

Lemon and water will help with nausea. Or cucumber pickle. Eat chicken or beef broth, good with kurut.

Fermented milk products do a good job with hangovers. Drink kefir, yogurt, whey, yogurt.

If all else fails, call your doctor. In every city you can find paid clinics in which you get out of a hangover.

3

If you increase the degree, then there will be no hangover?

The doctor-toxicologist Stanislav Radchenko answers: The widespread recommendation to drink first less strong drinks, and then stronger ones, if you really interfere with them, is nothing more than a myth.The rule essentially boils down to drinking only one drink.

The degree of intoxication depends (all other things being equal) not on the strength of an alcoholic drink or the sequence of drinking drinks of different strengths, but on the amount of alcohol that has entered the human body in a certain amount of time.

And the headache in the morning after drinking alcohol has its own explanation and clearly does not depend on the sequence of alcoholic beverages (rather, on their composition, the presence of impurities and other factors).

4

How quickly to sober up?

Answer: Rinse a wide glass with drops of vegetable oil to form a film on the glass. Put in a glass yolk, a couple of teaspoons of tomato sauce, two pinches of ground pepper and a little salt.If you have – a couple of drops of “Pertsovka” and lemon juice. Have a drink and wait to sober up.

5

How to get rid of fumes?

Answer: It so happens that you need to go to a business meeting today or receive guests in front of whom you would not like to appear with a trail of alcoholic smell, what should you do?

You can chew the flowers of dry cloves, chew two coffee beans – this will remove the smell.This method also helps: put bay leaf in your mouth and slowly dissolve it. Lemon peel, orange peel, mint leaves, pistachio, sunflower seeds help to temporarily remove the smell when chewed.

6

Is it worth getting drunk?

Doctor-toxicologist Stanislav Radchenko answers: Getting drunk in the morning is useless and even dangerous: it can lead to binge drinking. If you are not a recognized alcoholic, then your health will not improve, but you will also be drunk.

There is also an opinion that a healthy person should inevitably have an aversion to any drink in the morning: in a normal situation, the gag reflex works, and any thought of drinking should cause powerful disgust. If this is not the case, then this is also considered a sign of alcoholism. Be careful.

90,000 Nutraceuticals for a hangover | Elena Kornilova

Severe hangover, alcohol intoxication is an unpleasant and even dangerous condition. Better, of course, to do everything to avoid it, exactly how – we told here . If you failed to adequately prepare before drinking alcohol, and you are already feeling bad, it’s time to find out how to quickly get rid of a hangover at home.

Why hangovers are bad

If you are not one of the lucky ones who do not have problems with the production of enzymes, without preliminary preparation of alcohol poisoning (remember that alcohol turns into toxic acetaldehyde) you cannot avoid it.

Hangover symptoms
Dehydration, lack of circulating blood volume, which manifests itself in the form of dry wood; violation of the acid-base balance (acidosis), due to which breathing becomes more frequent and nausea appears in the morning. To get rid of a hangover faster, you need to help the body to remove waste products, support the liver, “water” the cells, restore pH.

Under no circumstances should you take aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) if you have a severe hangover (as well as before drinking alcohol).Drugs popular with hangover syndrome, such as Antipohmelin, Alka-Seltzer, etc., are also not allowed! They contain aspirin, so they not only will not help in difficult times, but will also harm.

This is because aspirin, entering through the portal system of the liver, undergoes a strong effect of the first pass through the liver, paving the way for ethanol. In addition, according to the American Medical Association, aspirin inhibits the action of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. And any drug of the NSAID group gives an increased load on the liver.The phenomenon of “suicidal metabolism” can also occur with the formation of hepatotoxic derivatives, as is the case with acetaminophen (paracetamol).

Hangover emergency

Physical detox
The first step in case of a hangover is to “cleanse” – to go to the toilet well (you can even do an enema or get a chair by taking mineral water, such as Donat Mg). Stool is an alcohol depot, it is better to get rid of them. But in no case should you take laxatives – they will lead to even greater dehydration!

To take sorbent
Sorbents (“Polysorb”, “Enterosgel”, best of all “Zosterin”) will help to make life a little easier with a hangover, but in general it is better to drink them before drinking alcohol.If you take it afterwards, then only with plenty of water, otherwise you will increase dehydration.

To restore the water-salt balance
It is necessary to restore the normal distribution of fluid in the body, disturbed by alcohol, – to transfer fluid from the intercellular spaces into the blood (at the same time to remove the swelling and the headache caused by them). Dehydrated cells need to be watered faster, but if you just drink water, the recovery process will be long, you need a balance of electrolytes. To do this, you can take “Regidron”, mineral water (bicarbonate magnesium waters help to get out of acidosis), sauerkraut brine.These same drinks can help relieve nausea. With severe attacks of nausea, you can dissolve pieces of ginger, drink ginger tea.

90,000 How to get rid of nausea after alcohol

Nausea after alcohol

The gag reflex and nausea are constant companions of alcohol poisoning. Moreover, in some people, negative symptoms appear only the next morning after heavy libations, others feel sick after alcohol after a short period of time after the onset of drinking.Next, we will talk about the reasons that provoke nausea after consuming ethanol, as well as what to do in such situations, and how you can help the body get rid of toxins and obsessive vomiting.

Hangover nausea

Getting rid of hangover nausea with medication will not be the best choice, since nausea is a natural defense reaction of the body to an excess of toxins formed as a result of ethanol processing.If you feel sick from a hangover, but you can’t clear your stomach, it is recommended to induce vomiting on your own by drinking at least 750 ml of purified water.

In this way, it will turn out to be much more effective to support your own body than in the case of taking drugs that reduce the feeling of nausea, which interfere with getting rid of poisons and increase the duration of the hangover syndrome. Alcohol affects human organisms in different ways, depending on gender, as well as the production of enzymes responsible for the breakdown of ethanol, neutralization of toxins and other individual characteristics.

Alcohol is a strong neurotoxin, moreover, it promotes intensive flushing of vitamins and minerals from the stomach, which provokes dehydration. Fusel oils, acids, methanol and acetaldehyde present in the composition of any alcoholic beverages, upon decomposition, have a pronounced intoxicating effect, which provokes nausea, headache, and a number of other negative symptoms.

Types of nausea after alcohol

Nausea after alcohol is a natural process that allows the body to get rid of various poisons, and is divided into the following types:

• Vomit with remnants of food and alcohol that did not have time to digest are often observed the next day after drinking.They testify to attempts to rid the body of toxins on its own.
• If the hangover syndrome was aggravated by an allergic reaction to an alcoholic drink or its ingredients, it may be accompanied by vomiting, combined with coughing, choking, and a pale complexion.
• Vomit mixed with blood suggests that there is bleeding in the esophagus associated with critical damage to the mucous membranes or tissues of the esophagus. Symptoms like these require immediate medical attention.
• If vomiting has a dark shade, you should also seek qualified medical support, since this factor indicates the presence of bleeding in the digestive system.

There is a widespread belief that hangover nausea is directly related to not having enough snacks the day before, and if you lean on food, then gagging in the morning can be avoided. In fact, food allows you to maintain a relative sobriety during a binge, but it does not save you from most negative consequences, including severe nausea.

When one feels sick with bile after alcohol, it means that soon the general condition will stabilize, and the state of health will become better. The release of bile together with vomit is a sign of contraction of the gallbladder, which indicates a decrease in the load on the pancreas and liver.

However, in a number of cases, vomiting with bile indicates the presence of dangerous diseases of the internal organs, and if nausea is accompanied by a tingling of the tongue and a serious condition, it is necessary to seek medical support, and in the future, completely abandon any alcoholic beverages.

How to get rid of nausea with folk remedies

How to get rid of nausea after alcohol? The most ridiculous decision would be to go to bed, hoping to improve the state of the body after sleep. Nausea indicates the need to get rid of toxins, therefore, in the presence of vomiting, it is recommended to adhere to the following algorithm of actions. First, you need to prepare a solution of baking soda at the rate of 1 teaspoon for 1.5-2 liters of clean heated water.

After drinking half a liter of liquid, you need to press with your fingers on the base of the root of the tongue, provoking an emetic effect.After induction of vomiting, the procedure is repeated. An enema is an optimal procedure for cleansing the intestines, which will rid the body of toxins accumulated as a result of libation. Thanks to the intake of absorbents, you can prevent the absorption of alcohol into the circulatory system and stop obsessive vomiting.

To get rid of nausea from a hangover, you should drink as much liquid as possible, giving preference to mineral water and herbal infusions. The next morning after alcoholic libations, you can drink a decoction of lemon balm, chamomile and mint infusion, which have a sedative, anti-inflammatory effect, and relieve vomiting

Traditional methods of eliminating the negative consequences of the hangover syndrome, such as cucumber pickle, can relieve nausea, since salt in combination with vitamin C accelerates the process of getting rid of intoxication and eliminates vomiting.However, such methods are not suitable for people with low acidity, because drunk brine will negatively affect the condition of the kidneys and the gastrointestinal tract.

What medications can get rid of the problem

Such drugs as No-shpa, which relieves stomach cramps, Aspirin, which accelerates the breakdown of ethanol metabolites, and Validol, which normalizes pulse and blood pressure, help to remove nausea after drinking. Rehydron saves from dehydration of the body, provoked by alcoholic beverages.

It is necessary to take any pharmaceutical products only after consulting your doctor. If the condition is not critical, it is recommended to make a weak tea with sugar or honey, take a short walk and sleep well. The drug Motilium relieves nausea from a hangover, relieving vomiting, belching, heartburn and dyspepsia.

Zofran and Cerucal block nausea, but they are not able to reduce the severity of the hangover syndrome. Gepabene, Essentiale Forte and other hepatoprotectors can provide significant support to the liver during the period of getting rid of ethanol metabolites, but self-treatment without a doctor’s supervision will only aggravate the situation.

Potassium permanganate solution is considered an excellent means for gastric lavage, however, it is not suitable for persons suffering from gastritis or peptic ulcer disease, since manganese crystals irritate the walls of the stomach. In order not to feel sick, it is worth using fresh ginger roots, which are finely rubbed and brewed for further use as tea. You can also apply dried root powder by making a hot drink at the rate of 2 teaspoons per liter of water.

Products that reduce gagging from a hangover

There is a widespread belief that if you feel sick with a hangover, you need to eat fatty foods even if you have no appetite.However, this statement is not true, and such a meal will only increase the load on the stomach, liver and cardiovascular system. Heavy food from a hangover, as a rule, increases gagging and an upset stomach.

If you have a hangover appetite, you should pay attention to products such as:

• Citrus fruits, which contain an impressive amount of vitamin C and important trace elements that accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body.
