What do the symptoms mean?

Question

its my second week of college and I have gone out and drank pretty much every night except for 3 nights since I have been here. I had my period for one day and it was really light. The last 3 days I have had cramps (not bad ones) and headaches and now I am feeling constipated and bloated. Is this from drinking or dehydration or could it just be from my new college diet?

Answer 1

definately the drinking and dehydration.... drink more water, try to eat more fresh (or at least non-processed) food.

Answer 2

All three plus stress of starting school and possibly recent great weight loss.

It is most likely from dehydration. Alcohol use really takes the water out of you. for every once of alcohol you loose two ounces of body moisture. Try drinking something mildly salty, like chicken soup and a lot of it.

Answer 3

lay off the booze drink  eight glasses of water each day for several days.  and if you have a drink, make sure to drink more water, as booze  and coffee are dehydrator.

Answer 4

Sounds like you know what the issue is :)

Try going for a few days drinking lots & lots & lots of water, steering clear of alcohol, and eating as much fresh fruit, vegetables and whole grains (ie no fatty, salty, over-processed junk) as you can stand.  Oh and go to bed early.  Also if you smoke cigarettes, go easy on these too.

You'll probably feel a million time better!!

Answer 5

Probably dehydrated only it could be alcohol poisoning

Answer 6

I think you should go see a doctor, and explain the symptoms to him, and he will you.
