prior to my anxiety i weighed in the lower 190's and before that i was nearly 200 but i began to run with my dad. now i my weight is in the mid 170's after about 4 and a half months of health related anxiety and i am freaking out. Other than one great grandparent who died of pancreatic cancer and a distant relative who had a carcinoid tumor cancer does not really run in the family, although a few of my dad's cousins had chron's and colitis. Pretty much the anxiety makes me pace around a lot and causes anxiousness and i often go on long walks through my development. since i began to fear colon and liver cancer i have had weird stool and constipation and once saw blood in it. I keep having this weird constipation feeling all the time but stool has been coming out normal today. Has anyone else had it this crazy? I have also been eating less and parent are telling me i am not eating enough calories but i can't accept that. I am 18 please help me out. thank you
Anxiety and stress can cause weight loss. I'm literally worried about colon cancer too! I'm 13 tho. Maybe it could just be IBS. I also don't have colon cancer in my family that I know of but we can't help but worry, right? Pepole told me to think more of less serious and more likely scenarios. Constipation can cause some bleeding. Probably nothing too serious if it's just once and it's with constipation.
I’m 21 and i fear a whole list of sort. I was petrified of having colon cancer as well but i stop diagnosing myself and always have regular checkups with my doctor . My anxiety has actually made me gain weight than lose . I went from 160-215
