DUers, need some advice (About the sickness I'm feeling today) [View All]

[Champ]

Before I describe it, I have to point out I did drink alcohol (not much at all) on an empty stomach last night. Though I felt perfectly fine after drinking it despite throwing up my meal hours BEFORE I took a drink. The occasion was my friend's birthday.

This morning I woke up feeling (I did not have a hangover headache) dehydrated, nauseated, and sick to my stomach. Something I have felt plenty of times in my lifetime. It was affecting me like a roller coaster, one second I would feel better like it was going away, then all of a sudden I feel like puking. Well after drinking some water and some Tums, I felt like I was recovering and wasn't experiencing any feelings of readiness to puke. I decided to try a bite sized habanero bite size snack made with habanero pepper, cream cheese, and little pieces of bacon on the inside my mom made for me last night. They were very delicious and incredibly HOT!!! Here is when I started to feel seriously concerned, minutes later I feel my entire head(lips, nose, ears, forehead) go unbearably numb. Shortly after that my arm went numb and locked up! I could not move forearm, wrist, or hand without extreme discomfort. The feeling was extremely painful, the bone in my hand right below my thumb felt like it was powerfully magnate to the bone underneath my pinky finger. I could not open up my hand whatsoever. I have NEVER in my life experienced something like that, I started to seriously freak out. I was hoping it wasn't anything severe that I would have to see a DR for. I decided to lay down(forgot to mention, I was feeling dizzy once my head got numb) for a good 10 minutes. Thankfully the numbness and the pain in the arm went away but since I have never experienced something like that in my life, does anyone know exactly why my body reacted the way it did? Is there anything I should do? Should I be worried since I'm feeling much better but still somewhat nauseated? I was planning on going to my friend's(not the one who had the b-day) workplace this afternoon, planned on leaving about a half hour ago but chose to wait until I felt a little better. Do you think I'm able to make it ok walking outside without something like this happening again? Thanks in advance.
