Hello
I really appreciate your concern and it can be treated very easily
Looking at your description your symptoms are suggestive of gastrointestinal disorder which can be related to abnormal intestinal movement, infection or stomach hyperacidity
Since I can't physically examine you to get more clues about your illness so I would advise you to upload your complete medical history and any investigation report if you have so that I will be able to guide you better for further course of action
I would advise you to take stool softeners or laxative for constipation like liquid paraffin or lactulose with anti acidity medicines like pantoprazole or omeprazole with antacids for symptomatic relief
You should avoid smoking and drinking as well as fatty fried spicy an drunk food
In my opinion with present situation you should consult a gastroenterologist for detailed evaluation and an endoscopy if need be
Hope this answers your question
Please feel free to ask for more clarification I will be happy to help you
wish you good health
