I have pain in my left stomach and back pain on the left side. My stools are loose and green. Eating makes the pain worse. I had a fever and was vomiting a few days ago. Symptoms have been going on for about 5 days. I'm on several medications for schizoaffective disorder. Not sure if they have anything to do with this.

I just had diarrhea and a thick brown mucus came out. And like a lot! Is this bad? I experienced a stomach ache but feel better now. This has been bothering me for the last 30 minutes. No vomiting or nausea. My half brother has rectal cancer.

Is there a rule of thumb to adjust the maximum heart rate after a successful ablation procedure to treat AFib/Aflutter? I find that during high-intensity interval training, I can't reach my calculated 220-age max heart rate. I am 44 years old, had an ablation in February with no recurrence, and want to know how much to adjust my max heart rate for workouts like Orange Theory, which bases its exercises on the 220-age formula.

I have a mild pain that comes and goes in my right lower abdomen near where my appendix is, and I also have pain in my right lower back that developed after lifting my grandchildren and luggage. My bowel movements have changed to large marble-sized pieces. Could these symptoms be related to metastases, and what else could be causing them?

I've been constipated for 3 weeks with small and hard stools and occasional stronger bowel movements. I took Miralax for 3 days, and now my stools are mostly small and thin. I'm 35 years old and have mild discomfort in my abdomen, sometimes in the upper right area but sometimes lower or on the left side. Is this all due to constipation, and what should I do about the thin stools after stopping Miralax?
