Positive fit test. Extremely high blood pressure. 190 average. My go said my stool sample reading was over 200

This is all scary to me. My fit test was positive and the stool sample reading was over 200 and she was very alarmed. Now I have to go to the hospital for a endoscopy or a colonoscopy can't remember which. I was getting severe pain for 8 months on my left side. They said gout.  Iam taking disarray 50 proprananol alluprrinol. Mirtazapine. Codeine. I don't know why I need all these but I take them. I wondered if anyone understand what the readings are the stool test 200 number. How bad is that . Thank you and I'd be very grateful if a bit of support

  • Hello Andycaz12,

    I'm sorry that your feeling scared but please try not to think the worst. It's difficult to know at this stage, as there is still further investigation needed to understand what's going on. We have information on the endoscopy test on our website, it also has a link to colonoscopies so you can read about both.

    It's important that you feel informed once you leave appointments and taking a notepad to write things down can help with that. That way you can easily refer back to what was discussed.

    I hope this helps and all the best,
