I Haven't Been Feeling Well Lately. I Started Working Out.
Question: I haven't been feeling well lately. I started working out. Don't drink but I used too. Last week I had what was I think food poisoning. So I've lost ten pounds rather quickly. Since then I have noticed some blood while wiping. I think it may be a tear or hemorrhoid. Yesterday I noticed a dent in my lower abdomen. A little worried now..
