Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The upper stomach discomfort that you are having is likely to be related to GERD(Gastro esophageal reflux disease) of which you already have a history. This sometimes causes constipation which is frequently associated with mild pain in abdomen and bad breath. The pain in flanks might be related to a renal cause like infection or calculus.
Headaches could happen due to tension, stress, raised blood pressure, inadequate sleep, etc.
All your symptoms do need a thorough physical examination and a comprehensive evaluation with the help of investigations under the guidance of your primary physician.
Meanwhile take plenty of fluids and magnesium XXXXXXX foods- XXXXXXX leafy vegetables and fruits, engage yourself in a regular physical activity. This will help in reducing the constipation.
Taking probiotics and yogurt will also help in reducing your symptoms.
I hope this answers your query.
