What in the World?

[Wewt11213]

So, very rarely do I ever get ill or injured or anything, but last evening and throughout today, the weirdest thing started happening to me.

I'm at work in camp right now, so up and seeing a doctor isn't exactly an option at this time; however, if this gets any worse, I most certainly have the inclination to take a trip back to town to get this checked out.

Anyway, it's really hard to explain, but I'll do my best:

I was watching TV yesterday while working on a piece of software I'm trying to write. When the commercials would come on, I'd shift my focus to my laptop and vice versa... well, near every time I'd look up to the TV, I'd get this strange feeling, it would last for just roughly short of a second and it kind of felt like a pulse. Almost as if it started in my chest and head then worked its way through my entire torso. I'm not entirely sure, but it almost seemed as if it blurred my vision for a moment as well. It's like a wave or something, like, let me think (that was worth typing) similar to when you injure a limb and you feel your pulse throb through it after it hurts, but affecting my whole upper body. It feels to have more origin from my head, though I am fairly positive I can feel it near my heart as well.

I was listening to music with my eyes closed and over approximately 20 minutes I also began feeling relatively nauseated.

The past two days as well, I've been having some rather ugly results in the john. Multiple flushes due to floating matter and what appears to be blood, though again I'm not sure.

Today, I felt it infrequently through my shift, and now that I'm in my room relaxing it seems to be much more frequent than even yesterday, though for the majority of it, less severe. It happens now sometimes 3-4 times repetitively and I feel it more often when I'm laying down.

I know when something is wrong enough with me, and if it were concerning enough, I wouldn't be writing this here, though if this strange sensation rings any bells (if it is even possible to accurately explain), then it'd be great to have an idea.

I suppose I'll know tomorrow if things get better or worse, 3-4 days is generally the best to determine in my opinion.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Since there is blood which you can see, it is coming from the lower gut. This can happen in hemorrhoids, rectal polyps, colon polyps, diverticulosis (outpouchings from the bowel wall), inflammatory bowel disease (IBS, Crohn's, Celiac, ulceative colitis), or dysentery.
Since you see floating matter—it could be that liver is affected. It could be hetaitis too from water contamination.
Apart from this dysentery due to food poisoning/gut infection is another possibility. It is important to rule out liver infection.
Take an OTC lactobacillus preparation (probiotics) and yoghurt with your meals. Drink plenty of fluids (clear soups, water, ORS in water, lemonade). Eat light, do not stay hungry but eat simple things like toast, porridge, cereals, crackers, banana, rice, peeled apple, etc. Take over the counter antacid and antiemetic (this SOS for vomiting).
Please try and consult a doctor soon.
Take care!
