What Causes Palpitations, Itching And Redness Widespread Body After Having Vodka?
Last saturday night I drink vodka and after that I start palpitating then an hour later my arms is itchy and the itch went to neck unto my legs.. My arms starts to become red(I don't know if I can call it rashes)
But anyway I tried taking anti - allergy that night until the next morning.. Its fine until earlier it becomes itchy again.. Btw, I was thinking it was allergy because last year i also suffer this symptomps but it only take an hour to heal and never come back.. Any suggestion what do you think is this and what kind of med I should take?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It does sound like an allergic reaction but it would be difficult to say what has caused it.
You would have to carefully note any foods, drinks that you may have used. Some persons are also allergic to creams, detergents, dust, pollen etc
An anti histamine would be the best option to try. They are available over the counter.
Examples are benadryl, claritine, zyrtec, allegra
I hope this helps
