Hello!

Thank you for the query.

You have mentioned so many symptoms that without diagnostics it will be very hard to tell what are you suffering from.
Stomach ache, chest pain and back ache can all be caused by gallstones and pancreas diseases. It is also possible that peptic ulcer can give such symptoms.
Lower right pain and back pain can be caused by urinary tract stones. Such pain associated with constipations and gas blockage can be caused by some large intestine diseases like polyps, cancer, inflammatory diseases (Crohn`s disease, ulcerative colitis).
As you can see there is a lot to rule out. It is advisable for you to start with: abdominal ultrasound, full blood work with liver enzymes (AST,ALT,GGTP) and pancreas enzymes (amylase), bilirubin blood level, urine tests, stool tests for fecal occult blood.
Depending of this tests results upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy may be necessary if no findings.
When the chest pain appears it is strongly advisable to have heart condition checked with ECG and icheamic enzymes.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Hello!

Medicines prescribed by your doctor may be good when knowing what are you dealing with. Otherwise such treatment is pointless.
If your constipation lasts for a few days without stool and complete gas blockage, your abdomen has gotten bigger and you have nausea this might be intestines blockage and needs to be treated as soon as possible.
Immediate help for cnstipations may be hard if this lasts for a long time. You can try Biacodylum (Dulcolax), Lactulose (Generlac), Metoclopramidum (Metocontin), drink more mineral water and increase physical activity.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
