Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to alcohol withdrawal.
The symptoms may worsen over two to three days, and some milder symptoms may persist for weeks.
If the symptoms continue you should visit a toxicologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
