Complications of Delirium Tremens
In cases of serious alcohol withdrawal or alcoholism, some severe complications can occur. They are mostly linked to frequent heavy alcohol consumption. These include alcoholic cardiomyopathy, alcohol-related liver disease, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, as well as alcoholic neuropathy. In addition, people with delirium tremens can be at a higher risk of having an irregular heartbeat, injuring themselves while confused, or injuries from a fall during a seizure. Therefore, medical support is needed to help you prevent these problems. [10]
