Weight loss and bowel issues
I’m unsure why my previous post is appearing so reposting.
22F 58kgs
Symptoms from last 5-6 years:
• Unintentional weight loss (I would lose like 3-4 kgs over a period of time and then put back a few after and then cycle repeats)
• Swollen lymph nodes ??? (not sure of this as I felt my neck left side have a lump but ultrasound came out clear)
• Huge stress (due to university exams in the middle and health anxiety)
Recent symptoms:
* Stool is showing signs of some blood (No direct bleeding but more in the stool)
* On/off constipation (pebbles or no stool at all resulting in straining a lot)
* Excessive burping, trapped wind and lower left on/off abdominal pain but not severe
* Difficulty swallowing and sometimes breathing (have been told acid reflux)
* Neuro symptoms (numbness in one side of body then and now, eyes feel flashing light in the dark - mri clear)
* Sedentary lifestyle- haven’t been exercising or walking much recently
* Tiredness
* Some night sweats not every night and don’t need to change shirt level (not sure if it’s anxiety related)
* Low ferritin but high iron serum and low VitD - getting rechecked
* 12 ESR otherwise bloods always coming back normal
* Getting tested for h pylori via sample
I will go to the doctors once my h pylori stuff is done. I’m just really scared that it might be something serious. Ive been told i’m 22 i’ll be fine but reading some posts - it’s not fine.
Any docs or ppl got any advice on these symptoms? Thanks
