    Colonoscopy scared!

    I had my gallbladder removed two years ago and had diarrhea since then, my original doctor said it was normal, I went like twenty minutes after I ate. That lasted about a year, it calmed a bit. But now my new doctor wants it done because of the diarrhea and weight loss, but I was thinking it was all from my anxiety. I was always the type of person that has to go to the bathroom before I seen my doctor or even my dentist, nervous stomach but I am worried now because maybe he is thinking it's something else! How am I going to get through all of this, My anxiety is high already, I can't do this, is it possible to die from anxiety? Because it is non-stop and I don't see how a person's heart can take it, I am so messed up

    It could just be IBS.

    Best to get it checked as it could be other IBD's as well

    You can't die from anxiety but you need to remain calm
