Hello.Delighted to be able to help.

By the symptoms that you refer probably Fatty Liver has progressed

It is recommended to do as soon as possible an Abdomen Ultrasound and blood tests for measurement of liver enzymes (AST, ALT ...).

Go to your doctor for request additional test and for prescription of anxiolytic (it is recommended to treat alcohol withdrawal syndrome).
