Had Numerous Bowel Problems. Stools Are Loose, Had Mucus. Advised IBS. Have Muscle Weakness. Breathing Trouble. Burning Throat. Treatment?

For the past two years I have had numerous bowel problems. It started with adominal pain and a strong urge to go to the bathroom. My stools were loose, looked like they had mucus in them, and I'd have to go some days up to 5 times. My doctor told me I had IBS without checking me. It kept getting worse but it was on and off I'd go weeks without any symptoms, even eating things I shouldn't, then for the next couple of weeks I could eat anything. I lost a good deal of weight. Lately It hasn't been bothering me as much but there have been greenish-black spots and white spots in my stool, when I haven't been eating anything that resembles that. I've been exhausted and been getting muscle weakness, I can taste/smell some kind of metal. There is a slight trouble with breathing, I feel like my thoart is swollen. Been getting a slight burning the back of my throat and pain right below my sternum. I been more irritable and moody than ever, stressed over nothing, have panic attacks and I've always been a very calm and relaxed person. My doctor said it's anixety and put me on paxil. Though it has slowed my heart rate, I can still feel it pound almost constantly and hear it. I'm still exhausted but can't sleep and having extreme muscle soreness as if I been working out for days. Still having bowel problems, and a general Ill feeling. I truly believe it is not anixety, and suggestions I can offer my doctor to get this c**p over and done with. I'm tired of feeling bad all the time.

Hi, the symptoms all suggest I.B.S. only, and it will have a symptom of anxiety also. I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and and oily foods. Avoid taking milk and milk products, and gluten containing foods like wheet, barley etc.
Thank you.
