: It is difficult to know what this represents without examining you and possibly doing more testing. This could be a symptom of constipation but these are rather vague symptoms that could be due to another etiology. If the symptoms persist, then see a GI doctor for a full evaluation. You may need labs and imaging studies. Good luck!
