Fit test 116. Colonoscopy & OGD

Hi there,

just feeling more panicky and nervous now. Starting wiping some blood over 8 weeks (maybe 8/9 times). Fit test came back at 116 so drs have sent me for colonoscopy, OGD and ct scan. I’ve lost some weight but that could be anything. I’m a teacher with a nearly 2 year old and a 3.5 year old so tiredness is always a thing. 
I’ve had awful bloating and nausea of late as well. 

I have my colonoscopy and OGD end of this week and I’m just so nervous. 

bloods have all come back normal but yeh, should I be concerned? I’m only 29 - send help. 

  • Hello Mumimworried

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some health concerns recently. It's good to know that you've already seen your GP and you have some investigations later this week. 

    It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. Although much easier said than done, try to keep positive if you can. Worrying won't change the results, but it will leave you feeling much worse in the meantime. 

    Hopefully, when you see the specialists later this week, they will be able to give you some reassurance. If it would help to chat things through with one of our nurses in the meantime, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Keep in touch Mumimworried and let us know how you get on. We're here for you. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
