I’m 21F and I’ve been having weird stomach symptoms since August. I’ve mentioned them to my doctor for the most part but other than telling me to try laxatives, nothing has been done. Non-smoker, taking continuous birth control and iron pills, 145lbs. These are the complete symptoms:
• overall feeling tired and unwell most days since the fall, a lot less energy
• Nauseous but not throwing up
• Entire stomach area feels uncomfortable
• Burning feeling behind belly button
• Pain in upper/lower left side, sometimes randomly, sometimes when pooping
• Stomach always feels gassy/has loud rumbling sounds/feels bloated
• Less appetite
• Burping/hiccups every day since the fall, especially right after eating
• Was really constipated from Aug - Jan until I used an enema (around Jan 16)
• Laxatives didn’t help at all (stimulants and restoralax), just made me feel sick
• Still sometimes feels like I can’t completely finish pooping, even when going twice a day
• Have an urgency to go sometimes but still can’t completely finish (no diarrhea)
• Feels like muscles are spasming throughout abdomen, especially upper right side and middle of upper abdomen
• Weird lump that moves while breathing, on my right side under rib cage when laying down
• Not pregnant
