Guys I am at it again worried I have stomach cancer. I have had a clicking under my left rib when I push in in certain positions and also when i lie in a certain way for around 4 years and a few months ago after searching I found it on my right side but less prominent. I read online and immediately became worried as I was scared it was H Pylori and that it will have caused me stomach cancer as I have recently lost about 5kg of weight (probably due to not eating from anxiety) in the past month and a half in which at times I have eaten at times just 2 pieces of bread a day which is not much considering im borderline obese according to the BMI scale. Also I have been feeling a numb sort of feeling at the bottom of my left rib and at times feel like a little bit of pain or a stitch sort of feeling which goes away quickly which I have very rarely and have had about twice which was while sitting (the numb feeling usually happens when i focus on it) which I personally believe is due to my posture as I have a little bit of pain under the ribs in my back also and it seems the rib is pushing down but I feel this mostly when I think about it. I have also been feeling full quickly and have had back pain. This has me worried as I am scared that I will have incurable stomach cancer and will not be able to live for much longer as the statistics dont make for good reading as most websites say these are symptoms of late stage stomach cancer which has given me even more concern. I have also recently had blood in my stool which looked very fresh and was on the side of the stool like a streak and not inside and was bright red and feel a slight bit full when eating some food and very full when I eat a big meal however it does not make me throw up or feel nauseous which calmed me down very slightly.I have also been more flatulent than usual the past week I am very scared please I know no one is a doctor but any friendly comments which could calm me down would be very helpful. Most of my symptoms seem like they could be caused by anxiety do you guys agree? Please I really need advice or some info that could indicate I probably dont have stomach cancer. I used to eat a lot but since starting summer holidays I have had a lot of free time and therefore my panic has been running on overdrive.
I also have a bit of pain in my lower back which I attribute to the way i sit and my posture
Btw: None of pain is anything very serious and often feels like its the rib itself rather than the actual stomach and none of it is constant and I can eat relatively large amounts of food without feeling nauseous and I dont believe my symptoms are severe in general but I am scared due to a lot of people not having any symptoms at all and all the scary propaganda about cancer.I am nearing 20 years of age and have worried about most cancers.
Im sorry I post so much but just posting is very helpful and makes me feel much better. I would like to add the rib click rarely ever happens on its own usually only when I push in on the precise spot where it is when I am in certain positions like lying on my side with my arm supporting my head or sitting slouched.
