I am writing out of concern for my husband. He is a 27 year old of punjabi descent. He is fairly healthy, but does have high blood pressure. Digestive problems run in his family. 2 weeks ago he started feeling waves of pain in the lower right side of his abdomen. After a day or two we went to the clinic and the doctor said he suspected appendicitis. So we went to emergency and they did a blood test and ct scan. Result was not the appendix, but the terminal ilieum is inflamed with some nodules around it. They sent us home and set us up with a gastroenterologist appointment. We went a few days later to him and he basically said it could be crohns or an infection, hes not sure. (His white blood cell count is fine so I guess its not infection though?) The GI booked a colonoscopy for him in 6 weeks. We cant wait that long for answers. He is so tired all the time, its impeding his entire schedule. He also feels very feverish but only has a temperature of 37.7 or so. He gets chills and dizzy spells too. I dont know what to do. Is it crohns? Is it an infection? Whats going on? Ive been researching like crazy and find nothing that really matches. And the doctor isnt seeming to take it very seriously. Any help would be appreciated.
If everything is normal chance of wheat gluten milk or lactose intolerance as it can develop at any age at a time I think with Chat Doctor.
