I’m 19 years old, I’ve posted a few times, but most probably won't know me, well I’ve had many ups and downs in the past year, having persistent chest pain, which I was convinced that was gunna kill me or lead to a heart attack.
Recently, have felt that I have got over this somewhat, feeling back to my old self, but now i am back at stage one again, I can no longer cope again, I just keep feeling like I’m gunna die, or be rushed to hospital. I have had semi-diarrhoea for ages now, and previously going to the doctors, I had a prostate exam, which found anal fissures, this was last October I think, they done stool samples that also came back positive for blood, I was recommended by one doctor to have a colonoscopy, having had an endoscopy done recently, I really didn’t like the thought of this. I saw another doctor and they said that it was probably piles or something, and that it was nothing to worry about. now since then, I have seen blood in my stool on and off for a while its usually bright red in colour, but at times can be slightly darker. I kept telling myself it was nothing to worry about, what my fissure, and also I was more concerned with my heart. now though I have noticed blood for the past few days, it is even dark red in colour at times, but this is only in the first stool i notice this in a movement. then it stops. I get like a pulsating sensation in my lower stomach when i lie down, and sometimes get pain in my upper back, and sides of my stomach. i have been feeling a bit dizzy the other week as well, and i am really tired a lot of the time at the moment, find it really hard to concentrate. I just don't really know what to do, should i go to the doctors again, I just feel terrible for neglecting this for so long, all my symptoms seem to fit with crohns disease, I have regrettably goggled,. As I often get quite hot and cold for no real reason. I’m terrified, my bowel or intestine is going to get restricted or something, and I’m gunna have to get rushed to hospital. I hate going to the doctors and hospitals, I never know what to say, and getting as prostate exam is so embarrassing, and plus I’m worried what they might say or find, if i tell them i have neglected this for so long.
I’m so sorry if this is too graphic, or difficult to read, i just wanted to be specific in the hope that someone might be able to advise, help or reassure me.
p.s I have today started a low residue diet, which has helped my symptoms a bit, but I still feel tired, and I still have this semi-diarrhoea feeling.
