New with problem obtaining diagnosis

I am having a hard time getting an actual diagnosis from my PCP and was wondering if I could get a few pointers in the right direction from here. Here is a list of my current symptoms: severe nausea often accompanied by vomiting after every decent meal; severe gas pains; painful stomach cramps after eating; abdomen often becomes hard to the touch after eating; when nausea hits, severe hot flashes and chills; the later I eat at night the worse it gets; excess saliva when nauseated; I am able to keep down all fluids without a problem so have been on a liquid diet for the most part; weight loss due to lack of ability to keep food down; and today I had a new symptom that has scared me to death: yellow mucus type stool with streaks of blood with constipation.

I have been to the doctor and he prescribed Pepcid for possible indegestion along with Zofran and Phenergen for the nausea. He had a CT done which revealed everything appeared normal. I know there is something going on and am very frustrated with the answer of everything is normal.

It should also be noted that I have a heart condition called Parasoxymal Supraventricular Tachycardia and high blood pressure although it is still unclear as to why I have HBP. I am 28 y/o and only weigh 95 lbs now. I am currently taking Clonidine HCL, Verapamil, and am on an aspirin regimine as well.

I'm with mammo, try and get into a Gastroenterologist.  They should be able to find out whats going on.  And if they can their probably more knowlegable about other avanues you should persue to get to the root of the problem.  Good luck and hang in there.

Your PCP is useless with this, you need to see a Gastroenterologist for an evaluation.  This is their specialty, and they will get to the problem quickly. You are very young to have high BP, have they done blood work to determine the cause of your high BP?  At this young an age, there is an underlying cause.  It can be caused by kidney or hormonal problems.  I would see an Endocrinologist and get a thorough work-up. If everything is okay there, then see a Cardiologist to determine what is causing this high BP. Take care.
