I am normally not much of a drinker, but over the past several months I have been drinking a lot of beer at night. It started with a couple of IPA's, and it's progressed to a six pack a night (usually from 5pm-9pm). This past Saturday, I started early and went thru 9 bottles.
I have also been trying to taper down off of opioids the past several months. I think my rise in drinking (it's only beer, I hate hard stuff) has been due to a number of factors. I've had some minor opioid withdrawals to deal with, plus some emotional problems.
One thing I have noticed over the past month or so is that I have been sweating like a pig. I wake up in the middle of the night with my sheets completely wet, but I don't have any other opioid withdrawal like side effects. At work I will sometimes just start sweating for some odd reason, even if it's not hot.
I have also seen a rise in my blood pressure and pulse of late. I normally never suffer from hypertension.
Can a sudden increase in one's booze intake cause excessive perspiration and blood pressure issues??
