Nin Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I had about 5 bottles of beer going back 3 weeks ago and I have had a bad day everyday since. Can just once night of drinking cause a flare up in pots? I thought surely it can't do that, once its out of my system (say a couple of days after). Anyone else experience this?

MomtoGiuliana Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 In my experience and what I have heard from other patients with POTS almost anything that upsets your autonomic system (which seems to be a long list including activity, foods, medications) can trigger a flare up of symptoms that can last days to weeks or even longer. Sorry to say. But also it may be hard to know what has caused a flare up. Again speaking from my experience and what I have seen on the forum over almost two decades! Alcohol is a diuretic and consumption can lead to dehydration and I know for me, an experience of dehydration can cause a flare up. Hope you feel better soon!!

MikeO Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 My only suggestion is if you are going to drink a beer have a "other" for the next beverage glass of water will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nin Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 I never drink alcohol usually, I just took the chance that night. I don't think ill take the chance next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneEyre9 Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Are you sensitive to gluten? It may be that aspect of the beer rather than the alcohol itself. Hope you feel better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
