Could High Blood Pressure Medicine Cause Constipation?
Took a laxative but have not use it. I have a serious problem with constipation anyway, I always have to take something to go, but now nothing is working, it's making me worry. What should I do? I am also on high blood pressure medicine, could this help cause the constipation? I am having some pain in lower part of my stomach.

Hello,
Certain antihypertensive has side effect over intestine causing diarrhea or constipation. It would be better if you consult with medicine details which are currently being consumed by you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
