Hangover Treatment New York City

When you wake up in the morning with little memory of what happened the night before, as well as a pounding headache and the driest throat you’ve ever felt, there’s a good chance you might have had a little too much to drink last night. And if you live in Queens, Long Island, Manhattan, or any of the other NYC bureaus – that night out probably lasted until the morning hours.

A hangover is a rite of passage for having a great night, but that doesn’t mean you need to entirely waste your day the morning after. Let’s take a look at how you can use I.V. fluids to get back on your feet quicker than ever, as well as some other remedies to help you feel better in the Big Apple.

What Is a Hangover?

A hangover is a group of unpleasant symptoms you might feel after a night of heavy drinking. Most hangover symptoms start to present themselves the morning after you drink, but they can sometimes start even the same night, depending on how much you consume.

A hangover has less to do with the alcohol itself and more with the dehydration you might feel as a result. Alcohol in beer, wine, or hard liquors is a diuretic, which causes your body to release fluids rapidly. This means you’re going to the bathroom more often, losing a lot more liquid than you’re taking in. This leads to symptoms of dehydration or a hangover.

If you do drink, it’s a good idea to try to follow every alcoholic beverage with a glass of water to help you stay hydrated while you have a good time. But even then, a hangover can sneak up on you.

Symptoms of a Hangover

The symptoms of a hangover will usually start when your blood alcohol content drops significantly or becomes close to zero. You’ll probably start to notice these symptoms upon waking up after a night of heavy drinking:

  • Weakness
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle soreness
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Decreased sleep or poor sleep quality
  • Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain
  • Shakiness or dizziness
  • Increased sensitivity to light and sound
  • Disturbances in mood, like irritability
  • Inability to concentrate or focus
  • Rapid heartbeat

While the symptoms of a hangover might feel like the world is ending, these symptoms usually don’t require a visit to the hospital. However, if someone near you is exhibiting symptoms of alcohol poisoning, like projectile vomiting, seizures, irregular breathing, unconsciousness, or low body temperature, contact 911 immediately.

Most hangover symptoms go away on their own within a 24-hour period once you’ve rehydrated and rested. Still, it can be frustrating to lose an entire day of productivity just because you drank a little bit too much. 

How Can I Ease a Hangover With I.V. Infusions?

One of the best ways to cure dehydration is by rehydrating the body through drinking fluids. When you take a medicine or consume anything orally, many nutrients become metabolized before being absorbed into your bloodstream. Bioavailability refers to the amount of a substance that your body can actually use in a given time, and I.V. infusions are the only way for a substance to be 100% bioavailable.

Intravenous solutions are injected directly into the bloodstream, so all nutrients are directly absorbed. This makes it the most effective way to help with dehydration and many other ailments. If you’ve ever been taken to the hospital with severe dehydration, they hook you up to an I.V. drip to get you back on your feet fast.

But you don’t need to visit a doctor’s office to get these helpful infusions. The I.V. Doc makes house calls, and we’ll bring the benefits of I.V. solutions directly to the comfort of your own home. So if you can barely get out of bed because of your hangover, you don’t need to move a muscle.

Our I.V. solutions are formulated with a whole cocktail of vitamins like B1, minerals like sodium, and other nutrients to help you hydrate easily. Many are also loaded with electrolytes to help give you more energy, stimulate thirst, and make you feel better overall.

All of these treatments have the same goal – to get you back to your day in no time. Schedule a consultation in the New York area today to get your I.V. treatment and stop letting a fun night ruin an otherwise productive day.

What Are Other Ways To Help With a Hangover?

While an I.V. infusion is a highly effective way to improve the symptoms of a hangover, it’s not the only one. Let’s look at some other ways you can work to ease a hangover without needing to leave your own home.

Drink More Water

Even though I.V. rehydration methods are more beneficial than oral fluid consumption, you should still ensure that you drink enough fluids after your treatment to stay refreshed for longer. Sip on some water or juice to replenish lost moisture from your night of drinking.

You also want to replenish lost electrolytes too. You can do this by adding some salt to your water to increase your sodium intake while also stimulating more thirst to keep on drinking.

Resist the urge to drink more alcohol to combat your hangover. While the “hair of the dog” method might make you feel better temporarily, it definitely won’t make you feel better once you are extra dehydrated the next morning.

Eat Something

You might also be feeling weak or sluggish because your stomach is empty. Consider eating something to fill your belly while also providing you with some much-needed salt and potassium for those electrolytes. Even if you’re having trouble keeping food down, try eating some bread, crackers, or something small and light.

Take Pain Relief Medications

Pain relief medications can work to block the nerve signals that cause you to feel pain and discomfort. This makes them effective for reducing the unpleasant headaches and other sensations that accompany a hangover, but remember that they don’t cure anything.

You also shouldn’t take most pain relievers on an empty stomach because they can irritate your stomach lining. Be sure to eat something before using these for a hangover remedy.

Sleep It Off

Drinking alcohol can make you fall asleep more easily because of its sedative effects. However, it can completely diminish the quality of your sleep, making you wake up feeling less than rested. This might be a major contributor to why you’re feeling so hungover.

Go back to bed. You might just need a little bit more rest, and by the time you wake up, your hangover might be gone.

What Are Some Other Types of I.V. Infusions From the I.V. Doc?

Hangover cures aren’t the only I.V.s available straight to your door. The I.V. doc has plenty of other infusions to help you feel your best, even when you’re not hungover.

Our wellness treatments can make you feel like your best holistic self. Antioxidant therapy can help you get even more of the anti-aging benefits of antioxidants, while our NAD I.V. infusion can help you focus and concentrate better with just a single I.V. infusion.

We also have vitamin B injections that are fast-acting. Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient for cell growth and development and is a major building block of red blood cells. Low B12 can lead to fatigue, so this quick injection can give you a much-needed boost to perform at your best.

Regardless of the situation, we’ve got you covered. Schedule an appointment in the New York area to start feeling like the best version of yourself.

In Conclusion

Hangovers are a frustrating byproduct of drinking too much, but since they are mainly caused by excessive dehydration, you can take some steps to fix them in no time. Drinking more fluids, getting some rest, and eating some food can help, but an I.V. infusion can work even faster.

The I.V. Doc has loads of hangover treatments loaded with hydrating electrolytes and other minerals to make you feel your best. And since they can be delivered straight to your door, you don’t need to worry about leaving the comfort of your home to get the boost you need.
