What Could Be The Reason For Dizziness, Lightheadedness, Numbness After Drinking Vodka, Coffee Considering BP And Sugar Is Normal?
Okay so I drank some vodka, and got drunk. Day after that I drank a bit too much coffee. The problem is that it was 3 days ago, and I am feeling dizzy, light-headed and a bit numb throughout the 3 days. I am able to perform regular activities INCLUDING driving, but I am a bit worried. My blood pressure and glucose levels are totally normal. Help me please!

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Alcohol and coffee both increase sympathetic activity of the body.
Dizziness and lightheadedness are common symptoms experienced after alcohol consumption.
These symptoms remain for some hours and disappear after some time.
However, it is not advisable to drive after drinking as it alcohol causes disturbance in judgement.
Thanks and take care
