Hi all i wonder if anyone can relate i have had a really stressful year and a half and all of a sudden a few weeks ago i became bloated, no appetite and uninterested in everything i saw my gp and he diagnosed depression and general anxiety disorder he gave me sertraline 50mg.
Not happy with the diagnosis i took myself to a&e after a lot of googling and they checked my urine full stomach exam and couldnt find anything wrong still not happy 2 days later i went back to a&e where they did full bloods and another stomach exam and again they said my bloods were outstanding and its ibs.
I went back to my gp and begged for a scan but he said no i dont need one and he wont be a enabler (i also asked in a&e for a scan both times and both drs said no)
Heres my question since the ibs diagnosis i have done a lot of research and all that comes up is cancer i have bouts of diahroer and constipation and a annoying ache deep in my right hip its not painful just annoying and i just generally feel there is something wrong and bloating lots of trapped wind.
Can anyone relate does anxiety and depression convince your brain something is wrong when it isnt? i cant see the dr because i cant tell him whats wrong he has given me mebeverine but its rubbish. I want to go everyday and just say can someone help me but when they ask whats wrong i have no symptoms just the above my appetite has returned ive lost no weight im notbleeding from anywhere bloods and urine all good why do i feel something is wrong? help anyone
