I have been diagnosed with IBS a little over 10 years ago by a gasterenterologist. They did the colonoscopy and determined that it was IBS (diarrhea only for me), but I have not been back since due to financial hardship. I have been experiencing some pain, bloating, gas, unusual bowel movements for me - constipation, and unusual looking feces. It has at times looked to be long and thin which is quite abnormal. I have been a vegetarian for 18 years but for the last 8 months have been vegan. These symptoms have not come on until about 2 months ago, however. If anything, I am eating a lot more fruits, vegetables and fiber, which should make me more regular and NOT constipated (I do not eat any dairy or eggs - nothing from animals at all). I used to have to take 3-4 Immodim a day before going to work just to function at my job, but recently, I have not been taking any of it and still have trouble going to the bathroom. I am concerned that this may be something serious. I have read everything I can about these symptoms and have seen that it could be a sign of colon or rectal cancer. I am not an alarmist, but am interested to know if I should be seeking medical attention immediately. Thoughts? Thank you. Rebecca

dear rebecca, pleased to know how keen you are with your health (many people are sooooo careless). As for your IBS, it is a wise idea to undergo a colonoscopy once every year. Cancer or colon or rectum is very rare and there are early signs of it like a polyp which can be easily diagnosed and removed by colonoscopy. so if you really need to be cautious, you have to underdo a colonoscopy once every year. Take care. www. pilesfreedom. com ...

Hi im feeling palpating in the back of my head or somewhere on my occipital area since when i experience having the mitral valve prolapse syndrome, are they related and should i be concerned? Thankz pls email me jerolynbade@yahoo.com

No, they aren't related, mitral valve prolapse doesn't cause palpations in your head. If it is severe it causes heart problems, but if it is not severe, you may not even feel it. Your condition can be psychological, but you can visit neurologist for full neurologic examination. ...

I am 25 years old. Male. 5'10 160lbs. I have been active most of my life. I recently ran a tough mudder (12 mile obstacle course). However, I have always dealt with anxiety and worry about my health. My pulse is extremely strong. I can see my pulse in my neck, stomach, and wrist at all times. Even when I am not anxious. I have had many echochardiograms, EKG's, I've had an MRI of my heart and a nuclear stress test. All came back normal despite the fact that I have a small case of mitral valve prolapse. I was cleared to play sports and exercise. Lately I have had symptoms of pain I can only describe as someone squeezing my neck. It is most uncomfortable at the base of my neck towards my chest. I have also had headaches, a slight cough, difficulty concentrating and fatigue. It seems like the pulse in my neck is more visible than it has been. Is this all in my head?

Increased heart rate has several causes: hyperthyroidism (it's important to check thyroid hormones), anemia (decreased blood hemoglobin), structural heart diseases (small case of mitral valve prolapse doesn't cause problems, as usually it is congenital), GI problems (such as gastritis, gastro-esophageal reflux, esophagogastroduodenoscopy can be done to exclude this), ischemic heart diseases (angina, previous infarction, which is not case for your age). If you don't have any of the above mentione ...
