What Causes Headaches, Sore Throat And Dizziness While Taking Alcohol?
Hey, i ate a weed brownie last friday and I had too much at one time, I freaked out and thought I was going to die. Anyway I woke up in the morning fine and from then felt fine. I had alcohol then later on in the week and started doing the same so I stopped drinking and went home. Now I keep spacing out, my throat feels weird and I keep having headaches which make me feel dizzy. What can I do to help this, I feel scared this is going to happen for a long time, please reassure me. Everytime I eat or drink it gets worse.
