Is drinking a cause for hepatitis?
Patient: Hi thereI have been feeling incredibly nauseous for 3 weeks now. I have no appetite, and I have always had a very healthy appetite. I am tired and particularly so after even mild physical exertion.I saw a B.E.S.T. practitioner who detected Hepatitis virus in my liver and also told me that my gall bladder is also stressed.After that,  went to see my doc who put my symptoms down to Giardiasis and prescribed Fasigyn. My nausea has improved a lot over the last 3 days since taking the Fasigyn but it now come and goes and is not constant or so intense.What concerns me about the 'suspected' hepatitis is that thinking back over the last few months, I have always suffered terrible hangovers after even just 1 glass of wine. I was reminded of this last night when after about a week of no wine at all I had a glass... And woke up (and spent the entire day) feeling awfully 'hungover'.Any advice or suggestions would be helpful.Ps. I am awaiting an appointment with a gastroenterologist.Thanks :) Doctor: Hello, Yes alcohol consumption is one of the cause for hepatitis, if it is taken daily,in  high quantities , and if you are taking only wine and that too not regularly or daily,   the chances are lesser for you to have Hepatitis because of alcohol,  please consult your Gastroenterologist and please get evaluated for other causes of hepatitis, I.e if you still have hepatitis. Hope I could help you THANK YOU.
