Therefore, anyone who drinks alcohol and an allergic reaction to alcohol, red face, red body, or easily drunk, should be reduced – and – quit (which, in fact, even if not allergic, should be reduced as well)
Let’s read the details of the cause. and how to avoid This alcohol allergy You can get it below.
#Alcohol allergy (Alcohol flush Reaction)
– It is an abnormality of the body that occurs after drinking alcohol. or drinking alcoholic beverages Each person will show a different allergy to alcohol, such as flushing face, red body, red eyes, rash, itching, or rapid heartbeat.
– Normally, when we drink alcohol, drink beer, etc. into the liver, there will be an enzyme called “ALDH2” that converts toxins that enter the body called acetaldehyde (Acetaldehyde) into acetate (Acetate) that is not toxic to the body. While the body is burning alcohol (Ethanol)
– But in the case of people who are allergic to alcohol, it is caused by the body lacking the enzyme ALDH2 or may have this enzyme. but malfunctioning making it impossible to burn away the alcohol Resulting in the congestion of toxic acetaldehyde. causing redness, intoxication, headaches, etc., or may have more severe symptoms after ingesting alcohol to the point of complications or even die
#What is alcohol allergy like?
– When the ALDH2 enzyme is impaired, some people who consume even a small amount of alcohol causing dizziness, red face, red body (maybe just the head-chest or red all over the body), red eyes, etc., faster than normal people. And it takes a long time for the symptoms to heal. because of toxins cause various symptoms
– In people who are very deficient in this enzyme Enzymes metabolize alcohol poorly. It may cause severe symptoms after drinking alcohol, such as fainting or fainting because it is resistant to toxins. Acetaldehyde (acetaldehyde) does not work
– or may occur in serious cases, such as causing chest tightness, suffocation, similar to allergies due to swelling of the respiratory tissues Until blocking the trachea Resulting in suffocation, shortness of breath, which, if experiencing symptoms like this, must be rushed to the hospital immediately otherwise it could lead to death.
#Which group of people does it usually happen?
– Most of them are found in people of Asian descent, such as Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc., easily noticed. From the time of drinking, etc. Asians tend to have alcohol allergies and hang over symptoms or hangovers than other people.
– because it takes time to metabolize toxins more slowly Until there is a specific name for Asian alcohol allergies as Asian Flush, which if this abnormal condition is left in the long run May cause a risk of serious cancer such as esophageal cancer.
#How do you know if you are allergic to alcohol?
1. When I drank alcohol for the first time notice the symptoms That the symptoms are red or not? If there is redness This indicates that the body lacks the enzyme ALDH2 and is likely to be at risk of esophageal cancer.
2. Notice the symptoms when drinking alcohol in the last 1-2 years, whether every time you drink, you still have a red face or body? If the first red and gradually fade until there is no more redness, indicating that the body is addicted to alcohol which is not a good result Because in the future, there is still a risk of various diseases such as cirrhosis, alcoholism, etc., including esophageal cancer.
#dangers of alcohol intolerance
– People who are allergic to alcohol Shouldn’t drink too much Because there may be a risk of many diseases such as high blood pressure. gastrointestinal disease Skin allergies, etc., including esophageal cancer
– Research has found that people with alcohol intolerance Or lack of this alcohol degrading enzyme ALDH2 If drinking only 2 cans of beer per day, there may be a risk of esophageal cancer 6-10 times more than the average person!
– but if you can control or reduce the amount of alcohol consumed can reduce the risk of esophageal cancer up to 53%
#How to treat?
– At present, there is no medication that directly treats alcohol intolerance. Some people use medications that treat GERD instead, which are both effective and ineffective for the patient. Because this drug is just a mask. I don’t really use medicine. (But at present, the drug has already been recalled by the FDA due to the risk of cancer)
– Medicines containing histamine 2 inhibitors (some people like to take) do not help cure drunk. but gets drunk faster It also causes blood alcohol levels to be higher than normal. It also increases the risk of stomach cancer. esophageal cancer and skin cancer as well)
– The doctor will prescribe drugs such as epinephrine. that comes in the form of a portable injection pen for patients to be used in an emergency if the patient has symptoms And people using this drug must have been prescribed and learned how to inject from a doctor first. After the injection, the patient must seek immediate medical attention. In order for the doctor to make a diagnosis and treat the symptoms that occur further
# Reduce the risk of esophageal cancer
If you know that you are in a risk group for developing esophageal cancer factors must be avoided These are to reduce the risk of disease: reduce the amount of drinking alcoholic beverages / do not smoke / eat useful vegetables and fruits / do not drink very hot drinks until birth / control weight in benchmark don’t let fat or overweight
