Back to the doctor for more tests

Per my last post I went back to my doc as I’ve been experiencing fatigue and discomfort along with what seems like slight fevers. All this occurred after having (3) beers and a shot at a friends bday party . He originally diagnosed me with an enlarged fatty liver but it was concerning that symptoms had stuck with me for so long after ingestion . He told me that level of alcohol consumption should not have been too big of a deal. When I expressed my concerns he denied me for a referral to a specialist and insisted I have another ultrasound and take a round of more specific blood tests . I’m taking my ultrasound In the am and I’m worried that my normal levels that came up last time were not reflecting the true state of my liver . I was a party animal in my early twenties and fear that my condition may be worse than the blood tests indicate. Can this be Cirhosis? Am I over reacting? I do not want to google symptoms anymore because it seems like a death sentence no matter what I find . Please help me gain some clarity and cut this heath anxiety :(

Sounds more like coronavirus. Were you drinking Corona beer? Lol I wouldn't worry to much. Anxiety will do more damage then a couple beers. Just get a ck up. See your Dr.
