Worried I’ve damaged liver with alcahol anxiety!!!!

I am 20 years old and slightly concerned, when I was about 16 I found alcahol and would drink with freinds every weekend or once every 2 weeks heavily for about 2 years, I was going through some tough family times so alcahol was a good suppressant, for about a year and a half I would drink a lot of spirits, maybe half a bottle every week or so, which carries on up until 18, I then got councilling to cut down, I now won’t drink for about 6/4 months then occasionally on a few days destroy a bottle of vodka, this happened last week and now I have nasty pains under my ribs where my liver is and developed flu like symptoms, the gp said take omeprazol then come back if it hasn’t helped and I’ve taken it and it hasn’t, I’m going back tommorow but am I now dying? I do have severe health anxiety which sound ironic but doesn’t help

 

I doubt it’s liver damage. I’ve done a whole lot more drinking for a longer duration and I am fine. Maybe it is heart burn or gas. 

Very doubtful at your age. Dont drink for a few weeks then limit your drinks,dont drink it straight. Just as hard on the stomach,betting more on a stomach issue. If in a few weeks you still have the pain,go back in.

One of the wonderfil things about the liver is it can regenerate itself.

i doubt its liver damage at your age. i hammered the alcohol in my teens and twenties without trouble. just know your limit. as long as your sensible your liver will mend its self.
