Is colon cancer a likely diagnosis

Is colon cancer a likely diagnosis?
I am 20 years old. I know that it is unlikely for someone under 50 to get it, I have been having some of the symptoms. I have been perpetually constipated for over 8 months. My stool is hard and limited. I have low blood pressure (82/60). I am constantly fatigued. I have recently had headaches which I had never had before. And I have bloody noses almost every month. No bloody stools yet. Gas and cramps are common for me. No significant weight loss yet.

Aside from the low blood pressure which is usually congenital - runs in families - most of what you're describing sounds like symptoms from excessive levels of stress. I would recommend you start cutting back on coffee and sodas. I also think you should start avoiding artificial sweeteners, especially Neutra Sweet. Wherever possible try to eliminate excessive noise levels in your environment - loud tv's or radios, turning off the ringer on your cell-phone, etc. A lot of high strung people have problems with stress and don't realize how much stress they put upon themselves through their own personal habits.
