What causes shock after drinking?

It is inevitable for people to drink at the dinner table, and in recent years there have been more and more cases of alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning is mainly caused by excessive alcohol injected into a person's body, which interferes with the body's normal functioning mechanism, resulting in a series of uncomfortable reactions, such as coma and shock. If you find someone in shock after drinking at the dinner table, you should understand the cause of the shock so that you can prescribe the right medicine.

Alcohol can not only cause or aggravate damage to important organs (such as the heart, liver, brain, and kidneys), but can also cause large fluctuations in blood pressure. Drinking alcohol can cause blood vessels to dilate, blood pressure to drop, and shock to occur in a short period of time. Therefore, you must drink in moderation and not excessively. People with abnormal heart, kidney and blood pressure should absolutely avoid drinking.

Little do people know that this is very dangerous and can cause hypoxia, coma, hypotension, shock, aspiration pneumonia and even suffocation.

The causes of shock after drinking are as follows:

The reason for shock after drinking is the sudden onset of sleepiness. Sometimes drunk people will just find a chair to sit down and fall asleep, but tilting their heads back at this time is not conducive to the blood oxygen supply to the brain and blood return to the lower body.

The second reason for shock after drinking is that if the drunk person has vomited beforehand and lost a lot of water and electrolytes, the blood volume in the blood vessels will be even more insufficient, causing ischemia and damage to the brain and kidneys, which may cause shock and induce transient cerebral ischemia or hearing and vision damage.

The third reason for shock after drinking is that the drunk person falls into a deep sleep and sleeps for a long time. When lying prone, the chest is compressed or the mouth and nose are buried in the quilt or headrest, and he is unaware of it, which will cause prolonged breathing difficulties, resulting in damage to the functions of various systems and even coma.

The fourth reason for shock after drinking is that it is easy to slip and fall when sleeping sideways. If the ground is uneven or there are hard objects, it will cause head injury; if the abdomen is hit when falling, it may cause bladder rupture.

The fifth reason for shock after drinking is to fall asleep on your back after being drunk. However, vomitus can easily enter the trachea and cause aspiration pneumonia. If vomitus blocks the airway for a certain period of time, it may even cause suffocation and death. In addition, it is an absolute taboo to press your arms while sleeping, as it can easily cause blood clots.
