No constipation will not cause this. However what is causing the constipation might. Say severe hypothyroidism/myxedema. Google this & look at images to see if you look like you might have it severe enough to be the cause. Also some laxatives will deplete body K & make you tired & weak. See your local Dr. Review constipation @ uptodate.com . It should all pass eventually. ;-) Dr humor

You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948 Wish you good health!
