It's no good listing symptoms and wondering if they are liver disease or not.

The only way you will find out if you have liver disease and at what stage it is at is to get a doctors appointment, explain your worries and get some blood tests and perhaps a scan.

You'll have to be honest and open about your drinking since your earlier scare but you can do this.

Get a doctors appointment and tests and start getting healthy before it goes too far.
