Liver Enlargement/ Blood Pressure Ups And Downs

Alcohol
1
I just stopped drinking after having been a heavy drinker daily for 10 years. I was really not addicted but my body is. It has been 2 weeks and my blood pressue is still swinging, altough it not super high like in the first week. I think my liver is enlarged because i have no appitite. I have money to go to the doctor. I am now taking milk thistle tea for my liver. How long before I feel normal again? Any comment or help?

You are in the very first steps of recovery ( congratulations for stopping drinking)
It took ten years for your body to get in this state and it won't go away overnight.
Is there no way you can get to a Doctor for a check up?
I think that you will probably start feeling better day by day, but it will be a while for your body to re adjust.
Take care.
keep in touch.

aussie you should see a Dr, there are a few medications that can help you through this and of course it doesn't cost anything to see a GP if you go to a bulk-billing clinic. I'm in Melbourne, where in oz are you.

Aussie girl, I read recently that if you have too much milk thistle tea it turns into a toxin where your liver is concerned.
Please go to a Doctor.
