Shortness of Breath

Hey! So I had a binge night of drinking and I'm not a heavy drinker and I had about 6-9 shots of some pretty heavy stuff. Anyway, I was hospitalized however they just put an IV in me I did not have my stomach pumped they released mien the morning and said everything was fine with me. I felt the typical hangovers symptoms saturday and sunday I felt a bit better than Saturday. However, monday I randomly began experiencing shortness of breath accompanied by me not having much of an appetite. I really don't know what's up and I went to a doctor, my oxygen level was fine, I don't have allergies or asthma they said my heart was fine so I don't really know what's up has anyone experienced anything like this or any advice please? Also, I'm a pretty athletic person so just a bit confused on what's going on

Ya know when you drink that irresponsibly, you are going to have to expect it is not going to be good for your health. I mean who knows what the shortness of breath is all about, but you have a bigger problem in that you do "6 to 9 shots of some pretty heavy stuff"!!!

Think you are an alcoholic???

I'm honestly not sure however when I received the medical papers it didn't mention anything about alcohol poisoning? Do you think I could be experiencing symptoms from that? The hospital was not my medical provider so they did not mention much and when I woke up I did not ask many questions, I was still confused.
