Feel hungover but didnt drink

Kid Curry

The last two mornings in a row I woke up and felt a bit hungover. The thing is I didn't drink the last two nights??? I don't think it's dehydration because I drink water during the day.

Has this ever happened anyone else?

Fajitas!

First thing I'd think of is dehydration.

Do you drink a lot of coffee?

Have curry lately? MSG's?

Mr. Presentable

If I play a PC game (FPS usually) for more than four hours at night I'd sometimes feel hungover next day.

90% of a hangover is lack of sleep imo.

Did you sleep well?

messrs

Coffee withdrawl effect perhaps? Worst ever hangovers.
or perhaps a lack of fresh air and the central heating is on. The heating systems de-humidify the air and that might be a cause.

I think it's the heating, left it on the last two nights.

There's your answer, you are getting dehydrated

Drink more water before going to bed. 2 litres a day at a minimum

Ok, have the heating on for a while if you need to but not all night!
And opening the window before falling asleep isn't a bad idea

I normally feel a bit groggy if I sleep for too long, but sounds like it's the heating alright in this case.

Left the heating on in my small bedroom by accident before and I'd wake up with a headache and dry throat.

this is also a classic symptom of anxiety and / or depression

i have experienced same

This can be one of the innocuous signs of carbon monoxide poisoning

Do you have a gas flue in the house

Do the headaches only occur when you wake up and clear when you are out of the house

You could ask local fire brigade for advice but we saw a couple of cases of this a few years ago in a hospital I worked in, people coming in for investigation of regular headaches that cleared, all blood tests CAT scans normal, unfortunately was end of Autumn start of winter and when they started using gas more frequently they died

Going to your doc for a check up is the best thing.

Folks ... I've closed this thread in line with the Charter.

We can't speculate about the particular symptoms the OP is reporting, and we can't offer medical advice.

The advice on dehyration, central heating, and gas boilers (if the OP has a gas boiler) may well be sound and no doubt well meaning ... but it is speculation.

From the Bord Gais website, advice on the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.

I'm not suggesting this is anything to do with the OP's circumstances ... but it's something we all should be aware of ... especially if you have gas central heating.

Link is taken from here ... along with other good advice.

Carbon Monoxide

You can be in danger of Carbon Monoxide poisoning at home if your appliance is faulty, the room is not properly ventilated, or if the chimney or flue is blocked. When carbon monoxide is inhaled into the body, it combines with the blood preventing it from absorbing oxygen. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, chest pains, sickness, diarrhoea and general lethargy.

If you suspect Carbon Monoxide stop using the appliance(s) immediately and do not use them again until they have been checked by a Registered Gas Installer or a qualified service agent.

For further information on Carbon Monoxide or to arrange a safety inspection please call
1850 79 79 79 Monday- Friday 8.00-20.00 and Saturday 9.00-17.30 or visit www.carbonmonoxide.ie.
