Severe head pressure
I had drunk an excessive amout of liquor about a week ago. And I started throwing up a little blood. I called the ems. They said it must have been an stomach ulcer that ruptured. Ever since then I have had severe head pressure and stomach has been burning. I also am feeling off balance. I am trying to decide if this is just a sinus headache but then if so what is up with all the other symptoms?

First advice is to avoid alcohol altogether for few months at least. take Vit B complex once a day because alcoholism can cause vit deficiency especially B1.
Secondly since u most likely had a tearing vomiting what we call a mallory weiss tear its better to give ur stomach and esophagus a bit healing time. take Sucral O syrup. and avoid spicy food.
Thirdly take healthy food with proteins n carbs. u can try inhalation of water vapour to clear ur sinuses.
Next Steps
After this acute phase is over its advisable to check your liver function test, and an upper GI endoscopy to rule out any portal hypertension variceal bleed.
