Lost 8 ibs past week and fatigued. Not sure of how to proceed to solve the problem. Insurance is temporary issue due to Medicare gap following retirement
Brief Answer:
Further data is needed...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am sorry for the situation you are in. I am also sorry for your insurance problems.
Now, from what you are reporting, further tests are necessary to run to conclude the final diagnosis:
- colonoscopy
- abdominal ultrasound
- abdominal ct-scan especially if your general health condition is not good and colonoscopy cannot be done
To confirm whether there's obstacles in the colon.
Meanwhile, I need to know:
- your current health problems (symptoms )
- reports of tests you already did
All the best!
