What Causes Stiffness In Stomach While Breathing And Constipation?

Hi, For the past 2 weeks I am having stomach issues. First week I was dealing with a tightened stomach felt always needed a deep breath to make it better. Did not feel hungry at all. Did not have a big bowel movement. I thought maybe it is just bloating. This week my stomach is fine. I feel hungry now too but still not having that bowel movement. I only had a good bowel movement maybe twice in the 2 weeks. I felt around my anus and also noticed extra skin on the outside on the bottom. Dont know of it is recent or just got it. Please help

Hello
I share your concern
Looking at your short description your symptoms could be caused by any of these conditions
Acid peptic disease due to stomach hyperacidity
Aerophagia or swallowing of air
Faulty dietary habits
Malabsorption syndrome
or food allergy

If you can provide me more relevant information for better asseessment of the condition like your age sex and complete medical history like diabetes or Liver or thyroid disease
Have you seen any doctor?

Meanwhile please follow these guidelines
you should avoid fatty fried spicy and junk food
You should take laxative or stool softeners like liquid paraffin or lactulose.
You should incorporate lots of dietary fibers in your diet which helps by increasing bulk of the stool.
You can take anti acidity medicines like pantoprazole or omeprazole with antacids
Avoid smoking and alcohol
Have plenty of fluids, fresh fruits and vegetables
Exercise as much you can easily do like walking or swimming.

Hope this helps you
Please feel free to ask for more clarification I will be happy to help you
Best wishes
