Brief Answer:
Alcohol Withdrawal
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Technically you may be better with Alcohol but that is not a healthy way to handle the situation.
I advise increasing the fluid intake especially electrolytes in the form of buttermilk which is a fermented dairy product.
The Raynaud's is setting in with the evidence of freezing of arm and fingers. You may need medication for this. I suggest seeing a doctor about this problem.
The upper left stomach pain is not a good sign, it could be gastritis or pancreas that is an issue after a bout of alcohol.
You can take Tab PRILOSEC OTC along with Mylanta.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
