How To Treat Constipation,hemorrhoids And Tightening Around The Chest?

Hi Im 42 female and relativly healthy I've noticed I've had a little blood in my stool over the last few months and cronic knots in my neck and at the base of my skulls which are causing me headaches. Over the years I've had problems with constipation and hemmororids but not for along time until now. Also I just go back from a trip over the holidays and I'm noticing alot of shortness of breath tightening around my ribcage and back pain and a slight dry cough just all of a sudden. It won't seem to go away and gets worse everyday.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, here the most concern condition could be hemorrhoid if this is confirmed, surgery is the only option for this, else it can not be managed medically however the severity is the case where treatment can be decided, for other symptoms it could be due to hyperacidity with some allergic condition that might be causing the shortening of breath, some time it may be the hyperacidity that causes the breathing symptoms, I would suggest to try PPI and the best is Omeprazole 40 mg once in day, I even advise to get done the routine blood test, just to rule out the anemia hope this information helps.
