Worried and anxious
Posted , 4 users are following.
I drink once a week, at weekends (on Saturday) and the quantity is usually 1 full 750ml bottle of white wine plus 3 187ml sized bottles of white wine. Occasionally, this may be slightly more. This has been going on for a number of years, in fact I used to drink way more than this (I drank on Fridays and Saturdays) but- but managed to stop the Friday drinking. I always worry my liver is damaged, even though I have alcohol free days, I am scared that the years of weekend drinking have caused damaged. This was compounded by recent nauseas and diahoerra, which I read can by a symptom of liver disease. Oh, and bloating too. I am going to try to stop drinking for a bit, but it has made me extremely anxious. I feel too ashamed to tell anybody, other than write it in here. Anyone have any advice of experience in this?

Although I understand that you are worried at this point you are only making assumptions. What you need to do is go to your doctor and have blood work done to see if your liver enzymes are elevated.
