Worried

My partner is 50 he smokes 20 day and drinks about 4 pints of lager on a night. He recently had trouble swallowing meat feels like it is getting stuck in his throat, He has headaches everyday and constantly tired, has had a cough for about a year and over the past two months feels dizzy and gets pins and needles in his hands. He is generally in good health and has not been to the doctors for about a year.He runs his own business so I thought it was stress but all of his symptoms are getting worse and I am extremely worried. He is also craving salty foods

My apologies geordiechick for not welcoming you to the forum yesterday.
So Welcome to Both!

Sandra, you are not only right, you are very funny and direc!.
We need someone like you around here. it gets a little too serious at times.

geordiechick, just curious, male or female? profile says male 66.
I assumed female, but then I remembered Benny Hill saying "when you
assume, you are making an *** of u and me! lol!
And by the way I don't judge anybody or anything. it's in my nature.

Cheers!

More than any thing I could tell you is to pray for  you and him. .

Hey geordiechick,

Adrenal fatigue, mineral imbalance/deficiency, nutritional deficiencies,and
yeast imbalance, are likely culprits.

His 4 pints of lager a night are contributing to dehydration, as the beer interferes with the production of anti-diuretic hormone.
Loss of electrolytes, craving salt, hypoglycaemia are all effects of alcohol consumption.
Candida  (yeast infection)is a possibility as well. Improper diet, alcohol consumption, stress, all contribute to yeast imbalance.
If Candida gets out of control, Candidiasis -a systemic yeast infection-
is the next stage and the formation of mycotoxins, Tartaric acid (a muscle
toxin).
One of the main causes of Leaky Gut Syndrome is Candida.


Smoking inhibits oxygen in the blood, slowing down the entire body, including the mind, causing fatigue and loss of energy.
(Loss of energy is one of  non-genetic underlying true causes of Disease.)
Smoking also interferes with blood sugar levels, causing bouts of hypoglycaemia.

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
This requires medical attention immediately!
Smoking 20 cigarettes a day and consuming 4 pints of beer nightly, may increase his risk of esophageal cancer. Quitting smoking and restricting alcohol intake to light or moderate amounts may reduce this risk.

Craving salty foods may have to do with already consuming too many salty foods. It has an addictive type of effect.
But more likely, it is may be linked to the diuretic effects of beer consumption, as I mentioned earlier.

Hope this helps.
Cheers!
Niko
