Sensation of Fullness
Posted , 5 users are following.
Good day to everyone.
Like to have peoples apinion on these symptons:-
I am 50 years old with heart problem and COPD
For the last eight months I have had the feeling of being full. What I mean by this is that I can no longer eat alot, for excample:- Sunday Lunch. I can only eat about half of it where I used to be able to eat it all. I now eat little, but often, and not always the right food.
When I do try to eat a normal size meal, I become slightlt ill and start to sweat. I get a slight discomfort in the stomach area but I do not get anything like acid reflux.
My number 2's go in a cycle. I first get constipation, then they are loose, then diarreah, (not sure that's how you spell it). This will cycle once like this every month.

Thanks for your time. Have had test's done. Its not IBS or any similar condition. Basically, at this moment in time, thedoctors do not know.
That's why I decided to ask for info on here.
Many thanks

Have you been tested for Gastroparesis? It is also known as delayed gastric emptying. It would be worth ruling out. The test required is a gastric emptying study, which should be 4 hours long (as studies show that shorter tests - e.g. 2 hours - miss some people and give a false negative result). Unfortunately I have noticed some of the NHS tests seem to be 90 mins! You can get this test done privately if you can afford it.

You're welcome. I hope that it helps, and it is definitely worth ruling out. Let me know how you get on.
