Well just been to doctors...
I told him:
Shortness of breath...
Still feeling dizzy
DARK BLOOD mixed with stool (lie)
REALLY BAD pain in right side (although I had a slight pain in right side)
He asked if the previous doctor had actually checked for Hemroids... I told him no so he did a check. Although I had noticed that since using the cream they seem to have gone anyway and I did tell him this. He pretty much told me that I didn't have Hemroids... anymore at least... although I havn't seen blood in 3 months so this doesn't mean a great deal anyways.
(Although remember I had told him I'd seen dark blood).
He examined me, my eyes, my neck (felt side of my neck, kind of under ears) said 'You don't look Anemic' and he said my pulse rate was 48BPM, which he was suprised at, but I phoned my gym and they checked and it was that over a year ago also. I am a semi-professional athlete and therefore I am quite fit... He said Anaemia would usually speed it up if anything. He did a real good check of my stomach (pushing really hard in certain places, using his stephascope all over - took a good 5-10 minutes).
He asked about my water consumption and I told him about it... He said he doesn't think I drink enough water. He didn't explain why although I had recently had a test which found my TBW (Total Body Water) to be 49% where it should be 70% or something... which he said was probably causing the drop in energy and postural hypo tension. He gave me a leaflet with symptoms of not drinking enough water:
Headache, dry mouth, fatigue, dark urine, dizziness, constipation, stomach cramps, dry skin
Also said if this is a long term thing that not drinking enough water is a possible cause of hemroids...
Still leaves the dark blood I don't have... Maybe he saw through it... I don't know. I would have thought with pain and acid reflux (I suffer from this) though he would have susspected ulcers... nope...
He said he is going to run blood tests on my kidneys, liver, glocuse and a few others and that for now that would be enough. He said that a colonoscopy is far too much of a jump for a 22 year old without doing any other tests first... said my symptoms of rectal bleeding for 5 years on and off would almost rule out cancer anyway and the fact it came pretty much everytime I went to the toilet for a month and went away for a few months before returning would suggest a problem with hemroids.
He asked if I was worried about anything because he said a lot of my symptoms (esspecially the new ones like being overly tired and lack of focus or occasional shortness of breath) are linked with anxiety and stress... As are the sudden worsening of digestion (like stomach aches, etc). I said no because I didn't want him to think I was worrying about this or he may not take me seriously... but in all honesty I have been worried and sometimes when I read something that sounds like my symptoms I have literally felt sick, so maybe I have made it out worse than it is =/ I mean my dad said I look pale yesterday and I nearly threw up with worry as I knew that was a sign of Anaemia...
I don't know about anxiety, but as he said... If I have lived with it for 5 years, 2 weeks should not make too much difference in the long run for when they check my bloods. If they come back with something wrong we can treat that... if they come back everything is right then obviously it is something they need to investigate further...
I do feel a lot better now though... cause I know if the blood tests come back clear they will look further and ifthey come back with something they will be sorted also
