I've always had problems with being constipated but this time its been 12 days since i had a bm at what point should i worry? what's a fast way to bm

See a doctor: We are always worried about any change in bowel habit in older people. In your case , constipation seems to be longstanding. Also you are a little younger than the age concerning for cancer. This might just be worsening of your chronic problem, but since there is a recent change i will advise you to see a doctor for evaluation. Drinking plenty water, fibers , exercise , some medications may help.
