If you need so much stress relief for a work week, your work week needs to change. Work stress is just as detrimental to your recovery as a wild night out.
You may be looking forward to a life of needing to be a bit less stressed in your life. Learning to make some changes now may pay long term dividends.
My best to you.

Thanks Mark,
I appreciate all the advice! With my conversations I can have a ‘relaxed’ conversation but as soon as it speeds up/ more people are involved I will get a headache. But quiet conversations actually help me I think. I am certainly limiting my alcohol intake. I’ll have 1 or 2 mid strength beers a week if I am feeling up to it.
My main symptom today is a dull headache and tinnitus. I am having a good day and hopefully it is a sign of things to come
