Help Please

I was cleaning and i picked up something and went to put it on the floor. As i sat it down i heard popping noises from my stomach. immediately following i had the craziest urge to use the bathroom. and omg it was the most horrible thing i smelled before. now i am light headed and nauseous. Should i be worried. I called the doc and i am waiting for a call back. Has this happened to anyone before.

  • Wow - wish I had something to tell you - no idea what that was - a call to the doctor was the right thing - let us know how you are and what the doc says.

  • it was a Blockage of poop. (embarrassing) and when I bent over It moved lol. and they said the Light headedness and nausea was just coincidental. But I feel ok thank you guys. I was worried I popped

Doesn't sound good. I don't want to speculate but I will pray. If yoou do not get a return call, call them back and then the next step would be the ER.

Praying that all is well.

Are you saying you heard pop, pop, pop from kinda far inside? Did it hurt under your ribcage? When you had to go, was it solid, either followed by mushy or liquidy or gas?

If no pain you may have just pushed a bit of a blockage, er, on through. It could really smell bad because it's mostly protien.

If it were really multicolored, mucousy etc it could be a bigger problem. The pop could be an infection opening up - like a diberticulitis cyct - which means your infection drained, but now you have to deal with that.

Hope all is well. If you are running a fever or your tummy hurts you should def not wait on your doctor. Don't wait too long anyway or you will end up in an after hour clinic at alot more expense.

OMG thats too ironic - check out my post from this morning. I basically have the same thing but it hasn't budged yet. I have a heating pad wrapped around my tummy now...but mine hurts bad, cause its keeping gas from passing.

I am suprised they told u the lightheadedness was coincidental - moving a blockage can do that.

just glad it wasn't more serious!

Thank you everyone. So am I. Thursday is my second check up. the first week 10 days was 35 pounds down and since then i am only down by another 5 which I am not mad about 40 pounds is great to me in a months time. I may hit a stall like a lot of people do. I am prepared for it.

chigga77....SO glad it wasn't anything more. thank you for posting an update - was thinking about you & hoping all was well for you. question - had you been constipated before or had you been taking any type of laxative?

No I just had not moved my bowels in like 5 days. But was not taking anything nor did I have the urge to go.
