What Causes Severe Chest Pain After Drinking Alcohol?
I am 22, I've had my fair share of alcohol and this never started until i was about 20.. If I would drink alcohol it would cause a horrible chest pain and it would take about 20 minutes to go away. It would hurt so bad that I would lay on the ground just pounding my chest with my fist. Some friends of mine said it was heart burn, others thought maybe asthma... and then the next day I would have diarrhea. What's wrong with me?

Hi Dear,
your symptoms suggestive of panic like symptoms.
one who drink alcohol would have such symptoms common in which one feel like he is having heart attack and features last for 15 to 30 min and then disappear.
first of all left alcohol and then if symptoms persist consult psychiatrist for detail examination.
even though you should once consult physician also and do common investigation like ECG, CBC etc..
Thank you
