Have you ever considered mold exposure? It's not a common response, but about 25% of the population is genetically susceptible to toxicity from water-damaged buildings. Exposures can cause a dissociated/drunken feeling, that can last for hours after exposure. Longer if you're living or working in a mold infested building. If you have any other symptoms also: headaches, digestive disturbances, nausea, hives, asthma, runny nose, chronic coughing, rapid or labored breathing or skin rashes, consider researching mold toxicity.
For anyone reading these responses, PLEASE go to a doctor, even if you have to go to an ER. This could be from alcohol withdrawal, which can be fatal, even if you don’t think you were feeling too badly, or you have been okay in the past. I agree there is a good chance of hypoglycemia as well, since you are no longer creating the sugar spikes from the alcohol. However, it is best to detox from alcohol under medical supervision, because it is the most dangerous, life-threatening of all withdrawal processes. It can also be managed more comfortably and quickly with medical assistance, because things like vitamin deficiency and hypoglycemia will also be treated.
I found a "cure"! I was having this issue as well for about 3 years. The feeling would come and go and I couldn't pin point a trigger. I had my eyes checked, my ears checked, an MRI. Nothing. My doctor sent me for a diabetes test and It came back that I have reactive hypoglycemia. Meaning...when I had the sugar drink...instead of my blood sugar going up...it plummeted. Creating this dizzy, drunken confusion. I went to a nutritionist and she instructed me to eat a healthy mix of carbs and protein every 2-3 hours to keep my blood sugar in check and cut back on sugar. It has worked! AND as a bonus I haven't gotten any migraines since. It's really interesting but I get "the feeling" before I feel hungry and I know I need to eat and it clears it right up. I hope this helps!!
I have the same problem with caughs and all...
But I never have tuched alcohol and I like the feeling
I feel that way sometimes when I can't reach 8-12 hours sleep if I wanna get tipsy all I just have to do is just sleep for 3 or 4 hours lol instant alcohol for me because I look drunk and I feel drunk and you wouldn't be able to talk to me normally I don't know why I am like this I never bother to know because I believe its not something life threatening..
Can you please tell what was the diagnosis, i also have same feeling without alcohol
Check out if its allergies to something I get some similar symptoms I have a cough for about 4 months , some dizziness, head aches at times, scratchy throat , neighbors and friends who live around me, have same we have put it down to the stuff they are spraying ,everyday we are bombarbed with aerial spraying.Tests have shown that there are toxins in the stuff they use.Do some research and ask the Doctor for a Heavy metals test .
Hello and hope you are doing well.
Your symptoms could be due to withdrawal of alcohol. But if your symptoms are relieved by eating something, it could indicate that you might be having episodes of hypoglycemia. Inadequate sleep can also cause tiredness, fatigue and dizziness. Other causes for these symptoms are inner ear infections; brain disorders heart problems, fever, stress, low blood pressure and anxiety. Please consult your GP who will examine you and may ask for blood tests for evaluating blood sugar and CBC.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Oh, and I also forgot to mention that the severe bouts tend to last about an hour..sometimes longer, sometimes shorter.
