I went to the doctor for this a number of times and each time he said there is nothing physically wrong with me which was frustrating to hear, it's like he didn't believe my symptoms or something. Any hoo I had my first drink in about 10 months, had a double vodka and diet coke and that was it. Had a good sleep that night then was dreading the drive home because everytime I go on the road it gets hard for me, some times I ask the driver to pull over so I can get out, stretch and move around until i feel better. This was the first time in years that I went on a 3 hour drive and I felt fine, it's hard to explain, like normally on a long drive I'll be looking down the highway and I almost get a feeling like I want to pass out so I have been avoiding travelling at all costs lately. I did notice that taking a drink relaxed me a tonne and so I looked up the benefits of vodka (in moderation) and it says its great for better blood circulation and prevention of heart attacks. I know if I consume too much caffeine or too much alcohol then I feel the exact same way (shakiness/tingling sensation) which is why I quit alcohol altogether 10 months ago after one night I drank 11-12 drinks and the shakiness/tingling sensations worsened but am going to try it in moderation (1.5-3oz) for awhile and see how I feel but to me it was the greatest feeling in the world being able to drive somewhere without having that feeling. It's been about 4 years since I been able to drive a long distance and just feel fine when I drive so am hoping it stays this way!
I don't think this has much to do with the vodka SM... clearly your body is reacting to you taking care of it with your new healthy eating habits and your exercise regiment.
Next time you are in a car for an extended period of time, try taking ginger or Gravol (a type of non-medicinal pill) to see if the issues might stem from basic "car-sickness".
Anyways, glad you're doing better buddy!
