Do I Need Medical Advice For Bloated Stomach, Heartburn, Nausea, Constipation, And Tiredness?

Following a lot of major surgery earlier this year (bi-lateral mastectomy & reconstruction with 10 week hospital stay due to complications and bi-lateral salpingo-oopherectomy, due to being a carrier of the BRACA gene) & lengthy hospital admission I ended up with a sluggish bowel, which eventually impacted & I spent a further week in hospital, having an NG tube, high dosage movicol & 2x enemas per day. This was in August...since then I have continued to take movicol, having to increase the dose gradually to get the desired effect. I have now been on 8x sachets/day for over 2 months. Up until 2-3 days ago, all was fine. However over the last 48 hours I have passed very little PR, my stomach is bloated, I have severe heartburn & nausea. I feel tired & lethargic.......Do I need to seek medical advice tonight or can it wait until tomorrow...Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Josie.

Hi
Considering past experience of impaction,I would advice you to seek medical advice the earliest,to prevent recurrence.
I feel you also need complete check up ,investigations for your gastrointestinal tract as such& get treatment as per need.
A lifestyle with
Balansed ,nutritious diet,along with high fibers & water/liquids
Regular exercises
regular bowel habits would help in management.
Thanks.
