I have a list of symptoms as long as my arm which the gp has diagnosed as IBS or possible celiacs - I'm having an endoscopy at the end of the month to clarify things.
The latest is that 3 weeks ago I got a really stuffy nose and sore face - just thought it was a sinus thing, upped my fluid and took it easy. A week later the snot was still there along with a lump on the right side of my neck near ear lobe (have glands further down neck that are always up too) and a sensation in my tongue and throat that I can only describe as numb. I've had tonsillitis a million times and it was not a sore throat but a numb throat and back of tongue and swallowing was uncomfortable but not sore.
Anyway after 5 days of this I went to DRs on 23rd to check wasn't an infection (had a temp of 37 so not high but quite high for me) further down somewhere - GP said no idea what it is and no idea what lump is but to take antibotics and come back in 7 days.
Tomorrow is the 7th day, my throat and tongue isn't numb but the lump is still there, but smaller. In the last 7 days I have had quite a lot of blood on toilet tissue when going to loo, coughed up blood and just saw blood in my right ear.
Is this just connected to the snot or should I be going to the GP? Feel like a big hypochondriac and can't trust my own judgement!
