Er - i have a virus still discomfort & pain in upper abdimon & few in chest area, no bowel movement in day or so could it be due to lack of food intak?

Possible: You might be dehydrated, the viral infection may have effected your intestinal motility, and so on. There is no way to be certain, but my prediction is that this will clear up in the next day or so. If it doesn't and you feel uncomfortable that will be the time to seek medical help.
