Please help xxxx

[Starry]

Im am so scared guys :((( I suffer from health anxiety and recently i have experienced this aching pain in my left side,it goes round to the back and to to the front but its on my left side,like if i put my hands on my hips its in the waist bit.I suddenly started connecting the pain to my bowel habits and atm i am convinced i have a twisted bowel or a blockage.I am terrified,i am trying so hard not to go to A and E as i know this is panicking but i have to go to work tomorrow and i feel like screaming as i cant bear how i feel and Christmas is just round the corner :((( I literally have been up all night panicking but telling myself the pain is not severe enough to be a blockage or something,why do i focus on these severe illnesses.Please please someone help me.....i would give anything to talk to someone who might be able to calm me down and give me peace xxxxx

You have answered your own question, you are very constipated, get some fibre in you and lots of fluids, you sound to me like you are a bit dehydrated.

yep chronic constipation, the blood , if there was some, was probably due to you straining and you might've nicked your bum:blush:. Eat oranges, marmalade on wholemeal toast, even ginger biscuits might help and yes plenty fluids, water or tea. And try to eat properly in future, more fruit and veggies

take care
