About a week ago I began to experience extreme fatigue, minor difficulty in getting full breath, dizziness and an inability to focus. I believed it was due to the stress of working a full time job, full time masters degree program, and other household/family stresses. So I powered through. This weekend I slept all weekend. Getting up only for about 5-6 hours in the day and absolutely zonking out again. I also began to feel achy back and leg pains as well. I assumed from sleeping too much. Now today, still fatigued and having a hard time concentrating, I used the bathroom, and found blood in the bowl (not my period) and a blood clot came from my anus. It was bright red and I've been leaking a little bit of blood for about two or so hours since. Only very slightly. My lower back near the kidney area is a bit achy and inside I feel sort of twitchy near where I think my colon might be. Is this something I need to rush in for? Is this just a simple fissure or hemorroid that will heal itself or should I be concerned? I have a doctor's appt for May 21 but I feel maybe I should move it up a bit. Any help is very appreciated.
