hi. im a 19 year old female. for the past week ive had problems with feeling anxious/get adreniline. i was at a movie and got a sudden panic attack. ive never had problems with panic attacks before in my life. ever. for the next few days i kept getting panic attacks. then they subsided. i started to get severe amounts of adreniline for no reason, especially when i was trying to sleep. along with this my blood sugar dropped really low, evn though i was eating. i went to the ER and they took my glucose levels and it was fine. also ive been having problems going to the bathroom. i felt like i had to go, but nothing would came out. when it comes out its diahrrea. at first it was light brown, clay colored. i noticed mucus in it. not much but, i saw mucus with a little bubble in it. white mucus. anyways, i told my doctor and she said everything is probbably just anxiety. even thought i wasnt stressed at all. i took an epsom bath because i couldnt go. a few hours later i fell asleep. an hour and a half later i woke up, disoriented and feeling like i had the flu. i went to the bathroom over and over, constantly feeling like i was going to hurl, and i kept pooping. after this, the next day, i felt backed up again. i went to the doctor and got blood tests taken. i got tested for my adrenals, hemoglobin, tyhroid and something else i cant rememer. i even took a urine test. everything came back normal. i had my friend come over (she does massage professionally) cause i wasnt able to sleep. she massaged me and worked everything out because i was extrmely bloated. i had slight side pains, but hardly noticable. also, in the past week ive lost a total of 10 pounds. i feel very weak and very tired. sometimes my heart rate goes very low. (for me). it went down to 64, which is unusual for me. anyway, so i slept last night and i swear i heard people talking to me in my sleep. i woke up today and went poop. when whiping, i looked closely and saw thin red lines in my poop. looked kinda like safron. there was quite a few of them too. some short and some long. it didnt look like a worm, and it didnt look alive. my poop was also extremely full of mucus. it was like someone spit out a loogie. please help me. everyone is telling me its just my nerves, but i know theres something wrong with me. im never like this ever. please, my grandma died of colon cancer. i just dont want this to happen to me.

I posted on a couple other threads about a FOB test. If all your other blood tests were fine, and your doctors didn't do anything, get yourself an FOB test. You can get one at colonhealthcheck.com. If it turns out positive for blood, you can take it to your doctor and he will have to give you a colonoscopy. Its unpleasant, but it beats dying of cancer because you didn't get checked. This is especially important if you have a history of colon cancer in your family.

I had one and had some polyps removed. They were not cancerous, but they could have become so if I hadn't acted swiftly.
