Hi,

From the symptoms you have described you seem to be suffering from severe constipation.

Antihypertensive drugs do cause this problem. However it would be safe to rule out other causes in view of your age and co morbidities as well.

I would suggest you to go the ER (Emergency Room) at the earliest and get yourself investigated on an emergency basis followed by an enema which will relieve you of the discomfort.

Please do write back to me in case of follow up queries.

With regards
