Pain And My Paranoia....
Posted: 12-04-03 16:25pm

I am 33 years old and try to restrict my drinking to 1 to 3 drinks a night, which for the most part I am successful at. I always wonder if I am doing things that are healthy for me, so I eat right (3 meals a day) and exercise moderately. I have annual physicals and have always gotten good results. Recently I had a full check up and blood work done for a life insurance policy and was listed as "preferred" and given a rate break. My paranoia stems from a slight pain in my lower right quadrant of my stomach / side and the fact that my father has diabetes and cirrhosis.

I just noticed the pain recently and it has persisted for over a week. If I probe in the area with my fingers, there is never any sharp pains. I suffer from back pain and wonder if this is a result of those problems. My blood pressure, pulse, urine and stools all seem fine. I am neither over weight or a smoker. I run my own business, so stress is a constant as well as having two small children.

Would yearly physicals and also a recent exam for life insurance indicate any alcohol related abnormalities? Having gone through what my father went through, I cannot help to dwell on this.

That might greatly depend on whether or not you informed your doctor that addiction runs in your family, and if he knows that you may have a drinking problem. If he is informed of this hereditary disease that runs in your family, he may be able to look at specific ailments that you may be experiencing and be able to point out any hazards that may be present.
