Deteriorating .....

Hi all, I'm really struggling. I now cannot eat at all without immediately feeling awfully sick straight after. Even small amounts. This has been getting worse over the last few days and is now impossible to eat without feeling sick. Last night I ate dinner (had less than half of my usual amount as i get so full so quickly) then within 20'seconds was on the toilet with the worst diarreah. No bleeding or anything but just loads of diarreah. I have like a pressure feeling in my chest but that could just be anxiety to be honest. I keep getting pains in my abdomen and under right rib. More of a dull ache feeling. I keep getting a feeling of needing to pass wind or stool. I just went this extreme nausea to stop. I have a colonoscopy on Tuesday but i just said to my partner that I feel like I need to contact my doctor or go to hospital as I just feel so awful. I'm so scared guys. Feel so weak all over and tired too :(  I don't really have an appetite so I am forcing myself to eat, but it isn't normal that I feel extremely sick straight after eating. I'm so worried that I have colon cancer and it's spreading :( please help :(

    Hi,

    Sorry to hear your symptoms have gotten worse. If they are starting to impact on you significantly, which sounds as though it's the case, it wouldn't harm to see your GP. They may be able to help while you wait for your colonoscopy.

    If you're having a lot of diarrhoea you May be quite dehydrated, which can make you very tired, so drink plenty of water..

    Hi, 

     

    ive had a read through your post here. I can't really give you much information, however I am in a similar boat to you and like you, I have a colonoscopy on Tuesday. The waiting is definitely making things worse for me. It's been what feels like a long rollercoaster for me also. I'm sure you feel somewhat the same. It's only three days but it feels like forever. The good thing is that from what I have read they will you on the day whether they have found anything. So we will know then. Again I can't offer much more information on what to do until then but if you want to chat then no problem.
