Dizziness, Constipation And Weak And Numb Limbs. Greenish Bowel Movement. Worried

Yesterday I was dizzy, constipated and my limbs were weak, almost numb. I did have 1 solid BM in the afternoon that was lime green, but after that, a whitish mucous came out. I experienced a lot of gassy feelings in my stomach but it never produced anything. Early this morning until now, I have been experiencing lime green watery stools with what appear to be string green clots of some sort... I am not sure if this should be a concern. I have no had any dyed foods or liquids either.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to:
1. Inadequate hydration status & electrolyte balance of the body
2. Dietary deficiency of certain nutrients like Iron, Vitamin B 12, Folic acid, etc. which helps in blood formation & nerve conduction.
3. Any infection in the Gastrointestinal tract: presence of green watery stool with mucous is suggestive of that.

So, kindly consult a Gastroenterologist & get a proper clinical examination done.
Investigations like stool microscopy & culture, Ultrasound scan of abdomen will be helpful.
If any infective cause is reported, then it has to be subsequently managed with antibiotics.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Please let me know if I need to clarify further.
Thanks & take care.
