Hello,
You have symptoms of
constipation. Constipation occurs due to inadequate physical activity, aging, as a side effect to the interaction of certain medications, inadequate water intake & certain medical conditions.
Medical conditions causing such symptoms are IBS, neurological disorders(MS,
intestinal pseudo-obstruction,
hypothyroidism, poor blood sugar control.
You are suggested to visit ER & get evaluated & treated for any pathology causing such symptoms.
In the meantime take antacids, PPI's, Pantoprazole-40 or
Omeprazole for relieve. Take high fiber diet, probiotics, stay away from junk food & addictions if any. Take homemade food.
Take stool softeners & laxatives at bedtime. Papaya both raw or ripe, prunes(dried plums), kiwi & green leafy veggies are natural laxatives.
Do regular exercises, stick to a healthy diet, get constipation treated. Severe constipation can lead to
rectal bleeding, anal fissures or hemorrhoids.
