I Have Been Having Digestive Issues For 2 Weeks Now.
I have been having digestive issues for 2 weeks now. It started with severe heartburn / indigestion and I started taking Nexium. That wasn't helping so I added omeprazole and took one in the morning and nexium at night. That didn't help either and on Friday I was really nauseous and sick and vomiting some all day long. The nausea has still not gone away and my bowel movements are almost white, which is really weird, but I had some Phenergan and I've been taking that. I also have some pain on my right side but its nothing I can't tolerate. I haven't really been eating but yesterday I decided I was going to eat because I was nauseous whether I ate or not. After I ate my stomach swelled up and I was miserable. I've been trying to get in to see my gastroenterologist but they can't see me for at least 2 weeks. Last night I went to the ER and they said my spleen was enlarged and that my "liver is a little more fatty than they'd like" and that I needed to see a gastroenterologist immediately. They told me to try to eat nothing but ice chips and get in to see the doctor ASAP. I called the doctor back today and they said they would try to see what they could do about seeing me sooner but never called me back. Tonight I was hungry and I ate a little bit of macaroni and my stomach is hurting. I don't know what I should do. Should I go to a bigger hospital ER or just keep waiting and trying to get into the gastroenterologist?
