Hello everyone, hope you are all well
I had a major heart attack at age 29 due to random blood clot. After I was on my way to recovery my blood tests showed a low blood count. I had 2 transfusions and the doctor ordered me to get a camera into my stomach and into my bowel to see if there was any issues causing the blood loss. My stomach showed no problems and I had to wait a month for my colonoscopy,. Which my doctor then cancelled due to my weekly blood tests showing I was back on track and suffering no low. Blood count after a month on iron tablets.
2 months after my heart attack, my dosage of Ramipril, Bisoprolol, aspirin and Lansoprazole were increased and I then started suffering soft stools at every bowel movement. Some days I would be okay and spicy food and alcohol would trigger running back and forth to the loo.
Its been nearly 2 years now, I have not suffered any weight loss, tiredness or serious cramping or a lot of blood during a bowel movement. Sometimes there's drops of blood on the tissue. My doctor wants to get to the bottom of the soft stool movements. In the last 2 years I've had 4 GPS who have all had different views. One wants to look for a tumor, one says it looks like Ibs, one says my aspirin(NSAID) has caused bowel damage and inflammation.
I'm really scared for next week, I can't stop worrying. My last Calprotectin result showed a result of 431, and a doctor I visited at hospital who booked my colonoscopy told me she's not worried because its not that high, whereas he's had people with results in the thousands upwards.
I don't know what to do with myself, I don't wanna talk to anyone and I can't crack a smile due to constant worry.
Sorry for the long post
