There are really no "normal" symptoms when it comes to alcholism/withdrawal/recovery. We all have been in the same boat as you as far as our drinking goes though, and we can definitely share that it's a difficult decision to make - whether or not you are an alcoholic.
You may want to consider why you decided to join a sobriety forum too - if you feel that your drinking is "under control" then it shouldn't be necessary to investigate, no? More of a rhetorical question than anything.
But regarding all your physical symptoms, even anecdotal knowledge is not going to be helpful as yours could be caused by a whole host of things, some alcohol related and many not.
