I don't know if this is the appropriate place for my concerns but no Dr in my area can see me for another 3 weeks and I'm going crazy i just wanted to know what or how people's symptoms started out. I know no one can give me Dr advice but I would just like to know if my symptoms are about the same the ER dr seems to think so.
I'm only 32 yr old female but I am having sever problems with my stomach.
I had my gallbladder taken out in Feb but it didn't help the stomach problems.
abdominal pain
bloating feeling
weight loss
loss of appitite( i usually eat like a man)
a feeling of being full even if I haven't eaten
intagestion (spelling?)
severe constipation going on for months
vomiting when I eat or extreme nausua
Please someone tell me if this sounds like the same symtoms I'm at a loss for what is going on with my body and I am having problems working and I really need to work.
Any help, comments would be greatly appriciated

RE: confused

Hi. I had cancer of the esophagus at the junction of the esophagus and stomach. Your symptoms seem rather broad and I suggest that you do a search on line for medical advice. There are several sites where you can communicate with a real doctor (in real time) or via email. There are many causes for what you describe and cancer is only one. Get medical help now and don't wait 3 weeks. Regards, Bruce

RE: confused

Hi. I sent a message earlier but have been thinking since then. Your symptoms sound like a bowel obstruction. All of what you listed are common problems with a blockage of the bowels. This is serious and needs immediate attention. Don't wait 3 weeks. Bowel obstructions can be caused by several things but if left untreated can cause death. Good luck, Bruce
