Ok, in the past few months, I’ve started having a few problems. First, I’ve been unrelentlessly constipated (laxatives only give me short term diarrhea, but no long term effects). Eating oatmeal helps a little, but not enough. I get cramps and shooting pains in my chest, belly, sides, and lower back. I have searing gas pains. I get dizzy headaches, and am often nauseous. I feel fatigued, and unusually sleepy in the morning. And now, just recently, on the few occasions in which I CAN, in fact, poop, there’s blood. Today there was quite a bit.

I’m not expecting an official diagnosis here – I’m seeing a Dr. as soon as I get my Med. insurance from work this week – but are there any of you that might be knowledgable enough to know what this sounds like? Should I be a little worried, or very?
Hemorrhoid?
Cancer?
Help!

I forgot to ad my age, if that changes anything: I’m 23.

For the last 3 years I’ve been suffering from regular bleeding episodes when going to the toilet. This may typically occur once every couple of months and last for about a week with bright red blood filling the bowel! As I am currently in remission from an unrelated rare form of cancer, every symptom I experience is always a bit of a concern. I’ve had a colonoscopy some 12-months ago and all was clear, been to the GP on a number of occasions and his conclusion was hemorrhoids which I can try using ointment, live with it or consider surgery! Regular checks with my oncologist seem to present with no cancer related issues, but I still get quite alarmed and concerned when I see a blood stained toilet bowel! Any knowledgeable and educated opinions would be appreciated.
Oh, I also didn’t mention that I am not experiencing any physical discomfort other than occasional itchiness!
