                                    Brief Answer:
It can be kidney stones and/or UTI.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you need medical attention soon.
I can suggest you to do an urine analysis and an ultrasound of kidneys.
Having urinary tract infection and/or kidney stones is the most probable cause.
Take anti inflammatory drugs such ibuprofen or ketoprofen .
You can send me the results of urine sample and ultrasound to check them.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

You may need an abdominal ultrasound.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
I think you should do an abdominal ultrasound to check for kidney stones because they can be the reason for your recurring pain.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again.
You may need to take antiinflammatory drugs such as Advil for pain.
You need to do an ultrasound to get checked.
If you are constipated you may try to use laxatives such as Sena leaves or lactulose.
Being constipated may cause you to have abdominal pain.
I don't think constipation or abdominal pain may put pressure on the wind pipe.
The pressure you have may be a sign of stress.

                                    Brief Answer:
You don't have spotting so it can't be cervical cancer.
Detailed Answer:
I don't think this can be cervical cancer since you don't complain for spotting or irregular periods.
If you had abnormal pap smear results recently it can be associated with cervical cancer.
