Menopause symptom or something more sinister?

MrsMitch:
Don't panic & jump to conclusions. It seems to be something they do as standard, they did with my husband. They seem to check for cancer even if you've sprained your wrist these days.
Just in case you're not a leaflet reader, I'm fairly certain Lansoperazole needs to be taken a hour before food, IIRC, so have a check.

VioletAquarius:
When I was diagnosed with silent reflux I was told people who have it usually get asthma, and vice versa. It happened to me.

The lump in the throat is common with silent reflux.

Rabbit1977:
Maybe that is it then. I have no feeling of a lump at all today and have not yet started the as I was told to do the FIT and fecal test before taking any. MrsMitch you are correct in that I need to wait before eating so will probably start them tomorrow morning as I have a pack of blueberry buttermilk pancakes staring at me right now.  ;D

Rabbit1977:
The doctor just rang me and because they detected blood in both the FIT and stool samples, I am being referred for a colonoscopy within two weeks. Now I am extremely worried both because I don't like that procedure (I have had it done once before in 2016 and spent weeks googling the safety risks of the procedure because my mind wouldn't relax) and the speed at which it is being done, which may end up being good for me as it means I won't be able to eat properly with worry until its done now and so I should shed some pounds.

CLKD:
...... breath.  2 week pathway may turn out to be much longer depending on where you live !  U survived the previous exam., 'nil of note'?

It is really up 2 U whether U google/not.  I advise U to look at NHS web-sites for the appropriate examination rather than wandering across GOOGLE per se.  He don't know much after all which is where your GP and Forums such as this are good a good basis for searching.

Or get an appt directly with your GP or Nurse Practitioner for a Face2face.  Do ask if sedation is avaialbe as none of us should be expected to endure pain etc., we will be tense enough anyway!

Me: I don't bother though 14 months ago when DH developed a rash across his chest I eventually twigged that it was shingles: NHS search confirmed it but he wouldn't believe until I dragged him to the Pharmacist  ::)

There are lots of reason for traces of blood in urine and poo which is why we have the benefit of further testing to rule out 'anything untoward'.  MayB making a list of your worries would help so that U don't forget to ask.
