So for a few days now I have had stomach problems, and whenever I pass a stool it floats (hate talking about something like this) and I'm worried that I might have a h pylori infection or something like obstruction of the bowel. I have started doing core workouts too, but my stomach feels like a dull burning sensation within and my tummy keeps making sounds and the constant presence of my stomach worries me. I did have an episode of panic disorder yesterday when I was in the city for university and on the way back when the train was packed like sardines. I also have other concerns like that I might have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. I'm a 20 year old man, 52.80 kgs, 181 cm, blood pressure is 104/72, pulse is 87 bpm and I would like some feedback please.
hey this is me all the time stomach is always making crazy sounds, floating stools and bleaching. when you your body gets anxious it can upset your bowels pretty much causes IBS symtoms
i also get acid reflux symtoms
Oh no, so young to already have this type of anxiety. When i started having one symptom after another due to severe anxiety, i googled and thought i had every deadly disease. After many ER/ED visits and no diagnosis other than anxiety, I finally gave in and went to get some help. the symptoms can be caused by flight or fight adrenalin. im not gonna tell you all the symptoms i had for fear you will end up convincing yourself you have them to. see a gi doctor and let him tell you if he finds something. if she/he doesnt find anything, then be happy you’re 20, healthy and full of life. if your life isnt conducive to what your body needs then change up your life style. meaning do what brings you peace. i wish you well young one. dont let it get the best of you.
sounds like ibs to me
tbh id be concerned if my bowels and stomach were making no sounds at all. i got ibs and that gives me indigestion pretty bad. floating stools dont always mean something bad.
whats your diet like daily?
i worried myself for years with stool thinking i had bowel or pancreatic cancer because of shape, colour and consistency of stools. anxiety can send your bowels crazy and cause such stool issues and stomach issues. your only 20 so i wouldnt thought anything sinister going on. trust me its not an aortic aneurysm you would know about about it if it was. both granparents had surgery for that at the same time( how crazy is that). also bowel obstruction is supposed to agonising pain and you cant pass stool at all, and the ones you could pass would be pencil thin.
it wouldnt hurt to have a trip to the docs to discuss this though. if anything it would help put your mind at ease a bit.
Hey just wanted to say your not alone last week I’ve been nautious now appetite loose stools and now tummy cramps just so ananxious e.g. cancer driving myself crazy
