HI there Ive been having colicy pain left side for 24 hours on and off becoming more frequent so I went to GP this morning and he said I had really bad constipation something I wasnt aware of as I have been having movements but like rabbit pellets so he did a rectal exam and said I was constipated. He gave me fybogel and Buscopan. But I have been reading about buscopan in the side effects and googled it and it said in less than in 1 in 100 it can give you a fast heart beat and I already have atrial fibrillation and I take betablockers for it so I am too scared to take it but I am in pain. I googled bowel obstruction and it freaked me out and now think I may have a bowel obstruction. But surely my GP would have spotted that when he examined me?? I know I am hopeless but I get freaked out and imagine the worst.

So basically your doctor said you were FOS eh? Well... you can always take an OTC remedy like Milk of Magnesia. No big deal.

Just bring a book to the bathroom!
