Ok, I normally drink 3-4 glases of wine per night, every night. SO, I go out on thursday night, I had 2 glasses and I thought I was going to just bounce off the walls. My sister was convinced I was on coke or something. she said I was so hyper I was like me x 10! Then I just got up from the table and fell down. Of course I dont remember a thing. I mean, in the course of 4 hours, I had 4 glasses of wine, small glasses. What is happening with me?

MAybe you need to think about giving up drinking it sounds like you are having a very bad reaction to alcohol.....

Dan

Are you taking any medications at the moment?

Sandy Marie

Were you breathing too shallow? You have to breathe deeply when you're bouncing off the walls.

DangDan, Im not on any meds at this time except for thyroid medicane which I have been on for 3 years, never effected me before,
Sand Marie, I dont think I was breathing shallow, however, I do have panic/anxiety attacks, so anything is possible
Splendra, its weird, it only happens when I go out. I notice that when I go out, I drink the same amount, but get a bit more tipsy, but this time was just weird.
Thanks so much for any help. I was very scared. Just curious, how do you all of a sudden have a bad reaction?

Just as you can develop an alergic reaction to something you have never been allergic to before, your system may have developed an interaction reaction to the combination of alcohol and your thyroid meds.

Thats interesting Gooch! But your right, I havent really felt like my thyroid meds are doing it for me ya know? It seems like Im ALWAYS tired, cant lose weight no matter what I do and I just have puffy icky ugly skin, ect, ect, hmmm... good point

I'd say time for a check-up with the doc as it does sound like a bad reaction. Med's are tricky too though, never know when they can be affected by drinking. See the doc k?

I agree with going to the doctor. You may need to have your med dosage changed. If you have a lifelong hypotension problem, then taking your meds exactly as prescribed is important. And what's the use of taking the med if you're counteracting it with alcohol. Also, alcohol is destructive to the liver. You may not be losing weight because your liver's too busy processing the alcohol and not the nutritious stuff you take in. Quit drinking and you'll probably lose a few pounds and feel better overall.
