I swallow long cany plastic on accident?

Question

PLEASE HELP! I think i swallow SOME PLASTIC and something from corn pops cereal , AND NOW I'M HAVING PROBLEMS. IT WAS STUCK IN MY THROAT, AND WAS STICKING IT FOR A FEW 8 AT FIRST. 2 WEEKS HAS PASS, AND NOW I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A BLOCKAGE OR SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IT DID NOT SHOW UP ON THE X-RAY OR NOTING! PLEASE HELP. The hospital won't really do anything, they just say oh, you're okay, since you're not dying you have to see a specialist . NOW I HAVE BEEN CONSTIPATED AND OUT OF WORK FOR TWO WEEKS! I CAN'T HARDLY eat ANYTHING! I pass out on my way to the kitchen yesterday.

Answer 1

Stress can cause every thing you have described.

Have you taken a laxative and if so what was the results? If you take a laxative and you have bowel movements, then you do not have a blockage.

Furthermore, most every thing people swallow by accident is passed through the body and out during bowel movements without any problems whatsoever. Only really sharp objects such as glass, etc. is much of a concern.

From purely an objective stand point, it sounds like your imagination has gotton out of hand and your problems are stemming from psychological issues.

Unless you stay constipated for more than three days, while taking a mild laxative (ex-lax), you are drinking plenty of water, minus any type of rectal bleeding and/or vomiting blood, you will be just fine.

I know this is not the advice you are looking for but that is my opinion.

GOOD LUCK!

HUH? I would like to believe if you went back to the ER with THOSE symptoms, they would do something now. They could call a specialist in, or transfer you to where there is one. Let that concept be your guide when you decide where to go. Who has the specialists on duty?! If there was inititally no emergent problem, did you follow up as instructed? Now, things have changed, so go back.
