I started getting the signs of appendicitis, went to hospital. They did CT scan and found out that on top of appendix problems I had an infection in abdominal and or intestines. They said it would not be wise to open up my body to remove the appendix until they got rid of my abdominal infection. They gave me Metro and Cipro, went back to ER around the time the first cycle of antibiotics was finishing because I was having appendix pain. They x rayed me and it looked like I was backed up in my stool and that’s what was causing appendix pain. They gave me another round of Metro and Cipro, I had been having high heart rate, fatigue, shortness of breath, diarrhea, cramps. I was starting to feel good and these symptoms were decreasing but went out on New Years and the next day started feeling the fatigue, shortness of breath, some subtle but sharp pain in abs, subtle cramps again but stool seemed to still be solid. Meanwhile I still have low level pain in appendix. I’m wondering if the diarrhea might be coming back soon. But now my Metro cycle is done and Cipro cycle is almost done and I’m still having shortness of breath, fatigue and some cramps but the cramps aren’t as bad as they used to be. I went in for my check up this week and they scheduled me for next month of removal of the appendix, but I forgot to tell them about my shortness of breath and fatigue because when I went in I was feeling good. My question is, since I’m still feeling fatigue, shortness of breath, and some cramps…should I go back into the ER? Should I ask for more antibiotics? Do you think there is a chance that my stomach infection got into my blood stream and that’s why I’m having fatigue and shortness of breath? If so, should I get more antibiotics?
