Its said that alcohol withdrawal can kill youHow can it kill you? That's insane!It can happen with as few as 12 pills.It's seriously that addictive? I was on codeine cough syrup for three months and I had no problem putting the bottle away when my cough was gone. Maybe it helped that I genuinely hated every single thing about it except for the cough relief.

How can it kill you? That's insane!Since you don't appear to have gotten an answer. Two main ways. Alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures, which can be deadly, and alcohol withdrawal can cause something called delirium tremens. Delirium tremens is more of a form of withdrawal characterized by quick and varying changes in someones heart rate and blood pressure in such a way that it can kill (through irregular heart rate called arrhythmias) or a person can become unable to "protect their airway" so to speak and choke.Alcohol withdrawal isn't a pretty thing. BUT the good and bad news is that it varies a lot from person to person.https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/166032-overview
Ongoing respiratory issuesLast week I started coming down with what felt like a cold. But my chest was aching very bad (under left breast and into back) and was having a hard time breathing. Gave it a few days to sort itself out but it got worse, ended up in the urgent care with a fever, cough , chest pains. Was coughing up brown, green and blood tinged mucus. Did X-ray.. doctor said they saw bronchial cuffing but radiologist stayed X-ray was all clear (confusing..) doc put me on a zpac and Im on day 3 of 5. Im still having chest pain, low grade fever and coughing up blood, and green mucous. I am a smoker and noticed after I smoke I feel horrible with chest pains and sweating.. going to ride it out another day if I am still unwell tomorrow should I go to er for another chest X-ray? Nervous about lung issues/as a ct scan awhile back showed partially collapsed lung and lung nodules. I dont feel that the antibiotic has been helping Much. Im a 27yo female so I feel Im sort of young for any serious issues
Another chest x-ray this soon is probably not going to show anything different. Infections take time to clear, at this point I would recommend continuing the antibiotic and waiting. If your symptoms haven't started to improve after the last day of the antibiotic, then consider going back in for a reassessment. Also, smoking really diminishes the lungs ability to fight infections. I would recommend quitting smoking.
