Pain Under Stomach And Chest, Constipation. Have Thyroid Condition, Fibromyalgia. Taking Citalopram

I had a servere pain in my stomach 2 days ago under my chest it went across the whole of my stomach. it felt like wind but then went into my back the same place as my stomack. it lasted for 20 min.i felt sick and faint. what was this. my dr has taken a stool sample off me as my stool habits have changed although my diet has not. I have always been constipated but although I do not have loose stools I have to rush to the toilet when I need to go and my stoolsare so large they will not flush and then I can go back to being constipated again. I suffer with terrible wind gas . I have a tyroid condition which I have had a test for two days ago to see if that is working ok and I have fibromyalgia which I take paracetamol for so this could cause the constipation. I have also been taking citraloprham 10mg for my anxiety thanks sue
