I am 19 years old, and about a month ago, I woke up in the middle of the night to some severe abdominal pain. I ignored it, thinking it was just my stomach digesting.. later during that week, the pains would go up into the lower right side of my chest. I went into the emergency room, and I was told by the ER Doctor, that I have a form of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). He gave me a prescription to take (3) three times per day, everyday, and follow up with my doctor. I took the medication for a few days, but did not keep with it consistently. The pains, and problems going to the bathroom went away for a little over a week. They returned again afterwards, I was thinking because I did not take my medication like I was supposed to. Now, I have the pains into my chest, I have abdominal pain- and problems going to the bathroom. Sometimes, I have trouble breathing, and all this happens primarily when I am stressed out, or upset. These pains last for an hour every couple hours per day, depending on what I am doing, and where my anxiety level is. I am wondering if these pains are just the chronic symptoms that I will have to learn to live with, lack of sleep, proper diet, and high stress, or something more serious- such as respiratory diseases, illnesses, or even certain cancers. Any ideas, advice, or suggestions? Thanks.
