You need to be evaluated right away. While it's possible you have constipation from diet and lack of exercise, it sounds like you have gallstones (especially if you've ever been pregnant and are a little overweight) or even appendicitis. If you can't see your doctor right away go to the emergency department. What you don't want is to wait for complications to find out what's wrong.
