Hello .
Welcome to HCM.
You may be suffering from constipation, and the loaded intestine may be causing problem. Your leg pain may also be related to this.
Constipation is also one of the side effects of pepto.
My advice to you is,
1.Drink lot of water and other oral fluids, in small and frequent sips.
2.use PEPTO less frequently , to avoid this sort of episode.
3.For time being you can use glycerine suppository, or enema, if you are passing gas.
Good luck
