I’ve recently had an endoscopy due to to swallowing and acid reflux problems. I have also had for the past few weeks a constant ache on right side of abdomen that goes to my back and also been passing white mucus in my stools. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow just wondering if these are symptoms to be very concerned about? 

Thanks in advance
