Brief Answer: Follows. Detailed Answer: Dear Sir, Thank you for posting your query on HCM. Well looking into your problem in my opinion you could be suffering from constipation predominant Irritable bowel syndrome. From the history you gave of irriatabilty and progressive constipation this remains a possibility . I dont see a reason for you developing obstruction at this age but still it needs to be ruled out for which you are undergoing testing . Dizziness can occur due to raised abdominal pressure thus activating the sympathetic system when you strain hard You will need to take a call on your diet and have to add loads of roughage to get rid of this problem . A thyroid hormone testing is also recommended to rule hypothyroidism which can present like this. Take care. Dr. Shruti
