Suggest Remedy For Constipation With Belching And Stomach Pain

I have had abdominal pressure for about a week. I went to the doctor and they diagnosed me with constipation. I have since gone to the bathroom, but the pressure is still there. It is not painful, but it feels as if someone is pushing into my stomach. I have belching and have had heartburn as well.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

This may indicate a conditions called hiatal hernia and this means that stomach is protruding through diaphragm muscle.
It may cause breathing difficulties,nausea, swallowing difficulties and irritation of stomach. It will also be aggravated by certain food or medications, stress and smoking. You need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. Also, certain antiacid medications may be required and as last option, it is possible to perform surgical repair of hernia especially if there are progressive respiratory discomfort and dyspepsia. To diagnose it you should do gastroscopy and if this is negative as in your case then you should do contrast xrays of stomach.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
