Will do man, don't think it's boxing related sadly... Originally thought it was sommit like being belted in kidneys too hard but sadly not. Could be some type of stomach ulcer or sommit... problem is cause of the blood loss I have possibly become anaemic (i.e. low iron count due to blood loss), which is sapping by energy and meaning I am very, very faint / dizzy / light headed / short of breath all the time... Not the best way to train!!! I'm still trying to shadow box using my dumbells / bands and I'm thinking about getting a bag at home. But I don't think I'll see a gym for a while... here's to hoping though!!!
I'm by no means an expert mate, but please make sure it has nothing to do with your diet combined with rigorous exercise. If I remember correctly your diet is very strict and not too high on nutrients. I'm not saying that's a cause because honestly I don't have a clue, but please ask your physician about it.
Yeah man, I've mentioned my diet and stuff, I've had my bloods done, so we'll see how that turns out. They checked my glucose, iron levels, kidney function, liver function and shed loads of other stuff. He doesn't think it's any off that stuff. Hopefully something shows up cause if not I gotta have some camera thing shoved in my throat and check out my upper stomach... I am thinking it could be ulcers or something but could be anything I guess... just from reading up on-line it sounds similar. GP's are nightmares because they always tell you best and worst case scenario but nothing in between, lol. I only actually went to doctors as my mate said: 'My friend had similar symptoms and ended up having a tumour the size of a Grapefruit in his colon...' On reflection seeing as I have like a 24-26 inch waist I wouldn't be able to fit a Grapefruit in here!!! But I still feel better for knowing that in 2-4 weeks I'll know why I'm puking enough blood to keep a vampire happy for a month!!!
Glad you're getting it checked out man, that's some nasty ****. I hope it turns out to be something relatively harmless, keep me informed. Tumours are highly unlikely at your age so don't sweat it too much.
