Hi DoloresHaze. The body is usually pretty good at sending out messages and warning signals. Giving up alcohol sounds like a wise move, as does seeing your doctor very soon.
Dr.Google cannot replace the true assessment your doctor can make; your symptoms can be manifestations for a great number of diseases; the only way to truly know what is going on is to go to the doctor and have the prescribed tests.
Hope you keep posting; rooting for you, DoloresHaze.
