im a 36 yr female. smoke a little (3-4) daily. i eat a very healthy diet. i have been having intestinal problems for about 8 years and just thought it was milk allergy. something like that. in the past month i have been having very upset swollen bowels and have been putting off seeing a doc. now im having chest pains that wrap around my neck and armpit then run down my left arm. i have shortness of breath and it seems almost like i have to tell myself to breath. those have been going on for a few weeks. yesterday, for some mild rectal bleeding, i went to the doctor and she said that i have anxiety and hemoroids. they took my temp and b.p. with no exam and sent me away with prescriptions for stool softeners and anxiety pills. should i get a second oppinion? i was hoping they would be at least a bit concerned about the chest pain.
