Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Constipation with pain in the abdomen and hardness in the upper abdomen along with nausea can be due to fecalith obstruction in the transverse colon.

I would advise you the following:
• Get an X-ray of the whole abdomen in the standing position.
• Take a laxative and if this does not help, put a suppository in the rectum or go for an enema to relieve constipation.
• If the symptoms recur go for colonoscopy and CT scan of the abdomen to get a proper diagnosis and proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
