low blood pressure from alcohol

I've been getting really lightheaded after big meals, and it takes about 2 hours to normalize. Also i've been dizzy and short of breath for almost a month now. I had a stress test which was normal. I quite drinking 2 months ago. I drank heavy for 4 years. I'm afraid i caused nervous system damage. I feel week and fatigued and feel lightheaded alot. Can anyone related to this?

thanks for your response. My doctor is informed of all of my symptoms and alcohol abuse history. He seems confused by my symptoms. I was just wondering if someone experienced something similar during or after their abuse of alcohol.
