help?

i'm 16 years old and have been experiencing severe chest pain, rapid heart beat, constipation, bloody stool, and clouded urine. i was wondering if all of these symptoms are related and what could have caused them..

Jes, these symptoms could be something is wrong, or they could indicate some small things have all 'gone wrong' at once. But you need to call your doctor, or talk to your parents and have them call your doc. The bottom line is you need to be checked out. This isn't something that someone on a board can say, try 'x'. It's something that you need to discuss with a doc and talk about what things need to be done to make sure you find the cause and get some treatment.

if it were only that simple. i don't have insurance, and my parents use that as an excuse to not take me to the doctor unless there is an emergency. and they wouldn't classify this as an emergency.

Is there a health clinic in town that you could call and talk to someone there about getting some assistance in trying to find out what's going on? Anyone you could talk to at school that might be able to steer you in a direction toward some assistance?

[jes2010]

im not sure if there is a free clinic here or not. and i go to night school so we don't have a school nurse or counselors or anything like that. but i was just looking for an idea of some sort that might be causing my symptoms. i don't think it's that serious, but i'm just a kid so i don't know much about stuff like this.

thanks. (:
but i live in a pretty decent sized town. so we probably do have one. but i've been fine these past few days so maybe it was just a bad couple of weeks for me. but if it comes back or gets worse i will check into it.

also, i'm kind of scared to go to a free clinic bc if they do find a problem that can't be fixed by a simple presciption then even if i do get insurance it won't help me bc it would have been a pre-existing condition. i'm kind of  worry wart so i have to analyze every possible scenario before i go through with anything. not my favorite quality.

i had  some of the same problems as you. the bloody stools are probably caused from your constipation and the chest pain and heart beat may be caused from stress. cloudy urine is probably from a urinary track infection, bladder infection, or a discharge either way it goes with all the problems you have you need to go to the doctors before they get worse i ended up in the hospital for 2 days for letting it get worse. go to the doctors as soon as you can.

my diet hasn't changed at all in the past few weeks so i don't think that has to do with me feeling better. but i will go to the doctor as soon as i can..but i'm not sure how soon that will be.
