Brief Answer: They would slowly fade away! Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms you have reported. These are most likely related to the excess alcohol consumption. Unfortunately, there is nothing much that can be done to halt or reverse this. The good news is that these symptoms would slowly fade away with time. I would suggest you to take plenty of fluids orally, and rest adequately. Abstain from alcohol completely till the time you feel better. These are some of the consequences of excessive alcohol consumption. You have experienced some and a sure you would not want to be experiencing this any time soon again. I strongly recommend that you consider stepping down your alcohol consumption. Beside these effects, you run the risk of cancer. liver disease, pancreas disorders, etc should you not regulate the amount of alcohol intake. a glass every other day is good but not huge daily consumption. I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be. Thanks. Dr. Ivo, MD.
