Breathing trouble: The breathing trouble is not likely related to constipation. When was your last full bowel movement? IF it has been some time (a month?!) and especially if you have belly pain, you should be seen by a physician. Are you drinking enough fluids? Any other symptoms such as fatigue, cold intolerance? These could point to low thyroid function. This can be checked with a blood test.
