Dear Ask The Doctor: I have always noticed problems with gases and bloating, but in the last four months it has gotten worse to the extent that I completely changed my diet. No more lactose and I have been watching what I eat and how much I eat. But the gases have continued, also over the last three months I have either had diarrhea or constipation consistently, changed from one to the other, and over the last days have noticed bleeding whilst going to the toilet and some pains in my stomach. Apart from these problems, over the last month, after sleeping I havent been able to open my left eye immediately, which usually lasts around 30 seconds to two minutes, sometimes this occurs with a stinging sensation and dizzyness which also lasts only a minute or so as I am in Brazil I have been unable to visit a doctor but feel that these symptoms are getting worse. Please advise.
Dear Laura: With the amount of symptoms you have described it could be a bunch of many different things. I strongly suggest seeing a doctor in person immediately and getting some blood work done as well. Hope this helps. |
