medical problem, any advice would be great Options

[matahari]

Hello all,

I know this isnt the best place to ask for advice but I'm so worried. Ive just come back from holiday I was away for 9 days and it consisted of a LOT LOT of drinking. 2 days me and my pal had to spend holed up in the room because we felt really ill, light headed, not steady on our feet etc. I also found it very hard to sleep one night due to dizziness, we just assumed that we were dehydrated and drank a lot of water, upped our salt intake and now I feel absolutely fine. The only thing is the first day we were ill I had a slightly urea esque taste in my mouth which I now just googled out of curiosity and now I'm really really panicking that I've got acute kidney failure since thats one of the symptoms, even though the uric taste went as quick as it came I'm now quite scared

anyone shed any light on whether Ive incurred damage or just dehydrated?

thanks

Don't self diagnose. If you're really worried go see a doctor and get some blood work done.
If you're feeling better you probably are.
Most importantly, did you learn anything from this? Losing a day of vacation time sick in bed sucks...everything in moderation, not judging but been there and done that!

If you're worried then obviously go to see your Doctor, but I'd say it's nothing. Hangovers manifest themselves in all sorts of ways and bring out all different symptoms in people.

Calm down dude, it's just a hangover! I'm a pro. We've all missed days of holiday due to over indulging...

If you had acute kidney failure, you'd be long dead by now. What you had was a hangover, you get them from drinking too much. Count yourself lucky something worse/permanent didn't happen, chalk it up to experience and don't drink so much next time.

By all means if you are still worried go to a Dr, but be warned that they will take a dim view of alcohol-related anything so don't be surprised if they are not as understanding as us lot.
