I am a recovering alcoholic and am 8 days alcohol free, upper abdomen bloated?

Hi, i am a recovering alcoholic and am 8 days alcohol free. Over the last 3 days i have been constantly bloated in the upper abdomen which is visible and also occasionally a slight sharp pain in the centre lower chest, just where the chest finishes. I am still eating normally and bowel movements are fine. My question is are these symptoms a part of alcohol withdrawal? My pulse is 68bpm. My medications are : campral 333mg 2 Tablets 3 times a day, Naltrexone 50mg Daily and Thiamine 100mg Daily. I’m a 40 year old male and weigh 90kgs and am 178cm tall. Thank You

Hi..
It can be a withdrawal side effect or side effect from any medication..
It should gradually get better..
As of now take plenty of probiotics, light meals, do moderate workout and drink sufficient water..
If the symptoms does not seem to improve in 3-4 days or worsen you should consult your Physician and take proper medication and also get a endoscopy done..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
