I feel for you gvh..........when I quit for 6 months last year I spent the first 3 months tormented by an array of physical symptoms. I was sure I was going to die very soon. In the end after seeing many consultants, having multiple tests, I am still here. It took a long time to get back any sense of well-being. And I lived those few months in a state of constant fear about my health. The important thing is to see the doctors, get the tests done and try as best you can to focus on one day at a time, just putting one foot in front of the other. You will find many people on SR have been to hell and back in the early weeks of quitting, both with physical symptoms and the awful anxiety that can accompany them. I have never known fear like it. It gets better, it really does, if you can just stay sober.
Best wishes.
