Question: I have had green stool, sometimes loose, upper abdominal pressure on and off and dizziness for a month. what could this be?
Brief Answer:
Investigations before the treatment is started.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The green stool, sometimes loose is indicative of an intestinal infection.
The on and off abdominal pressure in upper part can be due to transverse colitis or enteritis.
The dizziness can be due to infection, weakness or mild electrolyte imbalance.
I would suggest the following tests with consultation of your Gastroenterologist:
Blood- CBC, sugar to rule out diabetes, liver and kidney functions, Thyroid functions, Serum Electrolytes.
Urine-
Stool- routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity before you start the antibiotic treatment to get proper reports.
Colonoscopy and SOS biopsy
Ultrasonography and CT scan of the abdomen.
All such tests would help to get a proper diagnosis and a plan for treatment.
I hope this answer helps you to get proper diagnosis and treatment, please feel free to ask for more if you need to.
Wishing you early diagnosis and cure.
