Hello everybody. I have been afraid of cancer and different diaseases since I was very young. It's always something new, and it usually starts when I'm stressed out in general. So this time I'm afraid of colon cancer. I have some symptoms like fatigue, diarrhea and some discomfort in my left lower abdomen.
And about 2 months ago I lost 5 kg cause I couldn't eat at all. now my appetite has gone back to normal but I still have the other symptoms especially in the morning. I'm only 20 years old buy you never know with this kind of stuff. I'm really freaked out and tomorrow I'm going to have some blood tests (cause I also have a rapid heartbeat, like never lower than 95 or so). I'm afraid that if the tests come back abnormal and I have anemia, I'm gonna totally freak out about it and think it's because of colon cancer. What to do?:(

It could be something simple like IBS or could be Crohn's disease maybe.

We can't second guess so you are doing the right thing and getting checked out.
