Need to cure my Asian Flush Problem
Hi, I am having a Asian Flush Problem since last many years. I am senior management professional and need to attend business meetings followed by cocktail dinner parties but due to this problem I am unable to drink an alcoholic beverage. I was able to drink moderately and occasionally in the past as a normal person but since couple of years this Alcohol reflux or Asian Flush Problem or syndrome is developed in me. Now I am unable to drink socially and it is causing many indirect losses to me in my professional life. If I tried to drink then I used to have symptoms like very increased heart beats, short breathing and uneasiness, red eyes and sometimes face also with hotness. It happens even If I drink couple of sips of an alcoholic beverage. Please advise any remedy to cure this problem as it is very much embarrassing in my professional life.

You need to get one or two tests done followed by some medicine for your digestive system so that your problem can be subsided.

Dear Reader,
At the outset I appreciate the way you have narrated your problem.Symptoms do
resemble alcohol flush syndrome However alcohol intolerance also needs to be ruled out.
Symptomatic treatment is possible after thorough evaluation.However *best treatment is to avoid alcohol*.One of the challenges with the treatment is interaction of alcohol with the drugs used to treat above mentioned conditions.
Health Tips
Try to avoid completely/restrict consumption of alcohol.
