Bloating, Sharp Abdominal Cramps Due To Stress. Passing Blood In Stools. See The Specialist?
Hi: My 22 year old son is in business school. He's had some stress lately and has complained of a feeling of bloating with sharp abdominal pains. It's been about 4 days and he says they're getting worse. He feels then when he stands up. He said he had a dark stool that made a red cloud when he flushed. He does have a hemmeroid but didn't think that was it. The university doc said it could be an ulcer and he was given Prilosec and told to go to the hospital if he kept seeing blood in the toilet. Should he go to the hospital or see a specialist?
