Suggest Treatment For Weakness And Loss Of Appetite While Suffering From IBS
I am 17 and I feel unbelievably sick. I was diagnosed in grade 4 with IBS but thats the only major medical sicknesses I have. I feel tired all the time, I get the shakes sometimes, feel really sick and have lost my appetite drastically. I have headaches and have temperatures. it feels like all the time. Can you please help me. Im studying uni online full time and also have a job. Do you think I should get a blood test?
IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome ) is pretty common in this age and it is the functional kind of disease and not the pathology.
There no grade given to this disease and if it is what explained to you, then you must be misguided but of course more sensitive you more the intense symptoms you would experience.
Just to rule out the viral infection, you can go for testing and clinical examination it is equally necessary, try to come out of the stress, it is just the teenage you have.
I would advise you to discuss this with your parents and doctor of counselling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Akhtarhusain
