Negative colonoscopy now not sure what to do :(

Hi

I am very lucky to have received negative results for a colonoscopy that I had a couple of weeks ago which I am so relieved about!! Now I don't know what to do. The doctors aren't being much use and I still have ongoing symptoms. I have abdominal discomfort and bloating, blood when passing stool and this has been going on for a long time. My heart is also having episodes of racing but I wonder if this is due to stress and anxiety.

I was hoping someone could help me and offer some advice please. 

Thank you in advance x

    Please ask for Endoscopy upper  
    I went for colonoscopy 3 years ago due to symptoms as yours  .. all came back ok 

    now my left lymph node on neck  is swollen along with pre existing symptoms and they think it's stomach cancer . 
    They need to look at top of stomach by going down throat with camera . I don't understand after doing colonoscopy 3 years ago they didn't do this then ? As I've found out that colonoscopy does lower half of tract colon and bowel , while endoscopy does stomach area etc . You mentioned heart racing .. Are you getting any heartburn or sternum pain or anything ? Hope you get answers 
    I hope they listen . x 

    p.s I will be suing if they find anything x
