Bowel Obstruction! Oh the PAIN!!! To the ER! Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome. Life with a Vent
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 05. 2024
- Last weekend, I was extremely sick. On Friday, I developed severe GI pain after eating breakfast. I refrained from eating for the rest of the day. On Saturday, I was again very sick. In the evening, my abdomen felt better. I ate some supper. On Sunday morning, I ate some pureed soup for breakfast. Shortly thereafter, I became severely sick with horrible GI pain. In the evening I started throwing up. The pain was out of this world awful. I wanted to go to the emergency department, but it was Sunday. I prefer to go to the hospital on a weekday. #lifewithavent #pain #vomiting
I fight through the night, vomiting over and over again. I shake uncontrollably from the pain. When the morning comes, I go to my primary care doctor’s office. I am sent to the emergency department where I wait all day before I receive medical care. For more details about my less than ideal ER experience, please see the video, ignored in the ER. God sends a rescuer: • Ignored in the ER. God...

Sweetie I have an obstruction right now and I'm very happy that you were sharing this
I am so sorry to hear this. I hope you are soon on the path to better health.
Omg this pain is the worst
I just got out of the hospital with the same thing. Ended up being there for 4 days. Worst fucking pain of my life. I wanted to literally die. They gave me a ton of laxatives which made it 100x worse and then bloated me up even more. I vomited so much that my stomach is soooo sore. Anyways, it was enough pain to make a grown man cry so I’m glad you’re doing good.
Thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I am so sorry for everything you went through. I hope you are now on the path to better health.
Was the pain so bad that you automatically knew something was wrong ? I’m trying to figure out if I have this.
You went to the ER right away ?
@@Copilot1204 it took a a few hours before I realized something wasn’t right
@@Copilot1204 I would take some gas-x and see if that helps first
🙏🏾🙏🏾 Prayers for you! I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’ve been dealing with SMA since 2002. I was misdiagnosed as having IBS since 1994. Sending hugs and love to you. Stay strong!
I am sorry you have been dealing with SMA for so many years. Thank you for the well wishes. All my best to you.
Same thing happened to me following abdominal surgery, I know exactly what you experienced and I know what excruciating pain you had to endure. Sorry this happened to you, hope you are feeling better.
I am so sorry you also had to endure such terrible pain. All my best to you.
I had small bowel obstruction and emergency laparotomy exploratory surgery on 2/25/23 at 2am. Four days in the hospital.
An overall horrible and extremely painful experience similar to yours. I am slowly recovering. The scar on my abdomen is totally grotesque. Glad to see you are recovering.
Thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I am sorry you have been through so much. I hope you have a complete recovery.
Did you have bowel movements or were you constipated before?
@@MrGeorgewf I was actually fine before the pain started with normal bowel movements. No constipation. The pain seemed to come on suddenly and unexpectedly. I didn't have a bowel movement for six days after the emergency surgery. That was probably due not eating for three days. During those first recovery days the doctors kept asking me if I was passing gas, which I was. Thanks for asking.
@@JackMartens-xc4cv
I don’t know how you could have bowel movements and a blockage at the same time. They say you can’t even pass gas with bowel blockage.
God bless you. Hope you are well.
Thank you.
Your spirit and joking under such pain. You go through so much. I'm not going through nowhere. What you are and I'm breaking down.
Thank you for your kind words. All my best to you!
@@LifewithaVent Thank you, keep fighting. You have my prayers 🙏🏿
@@yougotaluvme Thank you.
Everyone is so different…amazes me! My pain was so bad with a twisted small bowel, I was in shock and can’t remember anything and doped up and eight hour wait!
Wow. I am so sorry you went through so much. I hope you are on the road to better health.
@@LifewithaVent thank you for caring! I hope you are on the mend too Hon! I almost died because of the long eight hour wait…three hours of it was waiting for an ambulance to take me to Calgary, AB. Only when I collapsed and I was crashing, that they knew how serious it is! I lost 126cm of small intestine that died and I’m so lucky to be alive! Canada’s healthcare is bad and wait times and shortage of Ambulance’s! Hope your healthcare system is better where you live! Take care and stay healthy! Warm greetings from Canada💕
@@dianehansma1725 Oh my! I am so sorry to hear this! What an ordeal! I am so sorry you went through so much. I am happy you were able to pull through everything. All my best to you.
@@LifewithaVent all the best to you too Hon!💕
Omg I had that too it’s so hard to see you in that pain I had hernia mesh bowel obstruction throwing up for a week till my surgeon fixed it! It’s no joke!!! It’s unbelievable the NG tube is horrific god bless you for getting through it!
I am so sorry to hear this. I cannot imagine how challenging that must have been. Thank you for your kind words.
God Bless you ❤
Thank you.
Get well soon🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖🙏🙏🙏
Thank you.
Wow you are really strong everytime I get an ng tube I cry and I cannot even talk it’s terrible idk how you did it
Thank you for your kind words. I am sorry you have such a rough time with NG tubes. All my best to you.
Oh dear, you poor thing.
Thank you.
Can I ask what hospital you were admitted to?
I have SMA syndrome too. I had surgery for it in 2021. Before that, I was TPN dependent.
Thank you for sharing. I am so glad the surgery helped.
Any tips for getting an NG tube in? I had an SBO a few months ago and really struggled with getting it put in
The best way to get a NG tube in is by drinking water while it is inserted. However, if you have a SBO, drinking water during the insertion process is not an option. If you need an NG with a SBO, swallowing as much as you can help with the NG tube insertion process.
You will have to distinguish between a constipation and an intestinal blockage. In the first case you will have to swallow early in the morning on an empty stomach 1 tablespoon (= 15 ml) castor oil In the second case you will have to take early in the morning on an empty stomach 1 tablespoon (= 15 ml) castor oil and one hour later a second tablespoon castor oil, eventually another hour later a third tablespoon. In this manner there will be produced a sufficient amount of gall by the liver in order to split the castor oil completely in ricinoleic acid and glycerine, for exclusively the ricinoleic acid will activate the passive histamines in the intestine in order to achieve the peristalsis in the bowels.
Thank you so much for this information. I do have a question. When I have had bowel obstructions, even taking just a sip of water caused me to have violent vomiting attacks. My vomiting was so severe, they had to place a tube into my stomach to pump out the stomach acid because even the stomach acid in my stomach made me vomit. How does a person take 1 tablespoon of castor oil during a bowel obstruction and not vomit it back up?
@@LifewithaVent I am sorry, but being no doctor I am not able to answer your question.
@@enemanozzle Ok, thanks.
OMG! What hospital is this so I never go there. Such incompetence 😮
Thank you for watching. It is a small town hospital located in a rural area.
It's been 5 weeks for me and I'm terrified.
I am sorry to hear this.
Hello, I want to ask you, does this syndrome cause chronic constipation and gas retention?
Most of the symptoms associated with SMAS are directly related to the obstruction, most commonly being feelings of nausea, vomiting (especially after eating), stomach pain and tenderness, and feeling full shortly after beginning a meal. Symptoms are often more intense following meals.
When did all this begin? I try to look at your previous video’s, but can find the beginning?😢
I have another channel where I chronicle more of my health issues. Here is a link to a playlist which has some of my medical struggles: czcams.com/play/PLTvbHDoOBqfWMKI3C2sVtrjOE5kkdKkT7.html
I'm going through this right now.
I am so sorry to hear this.
I've had an ng tube, and bowel obstructions, I couldn't even talk with the tube up my nose and down my throat, it was painful and discomforting.
I am so sorry to hear this. I cannot imagine everything you have been through. All my best to you.
Hello are you healthy now?
Hello. The bowel obstruction is gone. My intestines are better.
How are you now mam? My daughter diagnosed has a SmAS..
Hello. I am doing fine. I am sorry your daughter has SmAS. I hope she is able to find relief from her symptoms.
How to you throw up with trache?
Throwing up is the same. The stomach forces the stomach contents up the esophagus and out the mouth.
There is nothing...worse than pain...bread lack of fibre....creates all these constipated issues..
Yes, pain is terrible.
Hi i have too this diseas how is manifested bowel obstruction ? I have costipation and no bowel movement
I am sorry you have this. It manifests as vomiting and severe pain.
@@LifewithaVent i see on internet you can take of pancreas and live a good life....put islet cell from liver! Whay don t you do this ?
It is a very risky procedure. Many people have complications. My friend, who had the surgery, passed away yesterday from complications.
@@LifewithaVent o my God! So sorry! But i see a girl on internet after procedure is doing weel a woman same ...is ok even pancreas!
@@luminitagheorghe6163 That is great to hear. I am glad she is doing well.
You look...like you lost lots of weight...you seems such a nice good humoured young lady..
Thank you. I did lose a lot of weight. I was very sick from chronic pancreatitis. Here is a video which explains what I was going through at the time: czcams.com/video/hH10YT9yHxI/video.html
It put me in the hospital a few months ago, third fucking time in 15 years.
I am so sorry to hear this. I hope you are on the path to better health.
You shouldn't have waited to go
Hi , I had a colonoscopy and they gave me a sedative but it didn’t work out . During colonoscopy I was moving and telling them to stop but they didn’t stop .now I am afraid maybe I have bowel perforation. I have diarrhea And abdomen pain . Doctor is not helping me . Please guide me
Hello. I am so sorry to hear this. It is common to have diarrhea and abdominal pain for 3 to 5 days after having a colonoscopy. If your pain is lasting longer than this, please seek medical attention at a walk-in clinic, urgent care or primary care provider.
If you have symptoms such as fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, please go to the nearest emergency department as this may indicate a serious health issue.
Why do you get so lousy health care. Getting an NG tube without any suction. Having a nurse push too much fluid through your already sensitive j tube and the just being there. Sounds like a hispital from hell. I'm so sorry you have to go there. Is ther a way you can go to another hospital for your care? I mean, to a place that doen's make your life misrable unnecesarily? I wish you the best
Thank you for your concern. This hospital is very good. It is the best in the area. Sometimes the patient care is less than ideal. However, my primary care team works at the hospital. They are very knowledgeable about my medical history and provide excellent care and follow-up after discharge.
@@LifewithaVent Gosh you are a trooper! I went through a 9&1/2 hour surgery after my 4th BO. Mine is due to cancer treatments (in remission now) I am presently going through it again 😞. I refuse to go to ER as I also went through heck with ng tube. Health care here is a mess. I’m at the point of just giving it to God. He will either heal me or take me as I cannot do this no more. God Bless you! 🙏🏼
@@MyAccount0225 Thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I am so sorry you have been through so much. I pray you have strength and can find medical care. All my best to you.
@@MyAccount0225 How you feeling now. I hope God healed you up.🙏🏿
The Lord will strengthen and restore you to a better health in Jesus Christ name 🙏🙏
Thank you.
@@LifewithaVent Heb.11.6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (KJV).
Hold on to God♥️
@@akadriopeyemi5347 Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Triphala!! So you never have this problem again
Thank you for the information. I have been taking triphala since 2013.
Pain wasn’t that bad if you “prefer to go to the ER on a weekday 🙄
Your comment made me smile. I am guessing you do not have complex medical conditions and have gone to the emergency department (ED) on the weekend. If I go to the ED on the weekend, they will not treat me. They will either 1. discharge me home and tell me to call my doctor on Monday morning. 2. Keep me waiting in the ED until Monday. Then they call my doctors to let them know I am waiting for them in the ED. If I stay in the ED, they will put me in the hall, place me back out in the waiting room or put me in an un-staffed area. No medical treatment is given while I wait.
I prefer to go to the ED on a weekday because that is when my doctors are working. If I go on a weekday, I can medical treatment.
If you watch any of my other videos, I have made the same decision. I was sick with sepsis and organ failure over a weekend. I waited to go to the ED. I was extremely sick with pneumonia over a weekend. I again waited until Monday to go to the ED.
What does that mean? She sat on a < >
What is the timestamp on that part of the video?

Hello. Thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I am sorry you are having so many issues. It may be helpful to keep a food journal. Document what you eat and any symptoms you may have. There may be certain foods which are causing symptoms. All my best to you.
