Constipation, Sharp Pain Below Belly Button, Tight Band Below Rib Cage, Pain Getting Worse, Dizziness. Treatment?

I have symptoms of constipation with sharp cross pains below the belly button area and a tight band below the rib cage. This has been increasing worse over this last 6 months. Also, with the sharp pain area has been a near passing out feeling when sitting as in driving. All physical examinations seem perfect, though these were routine examinations. Age 66, 170lbs, and no medical history of problems

Hi, thank you for posting.

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

Your symptoms are caused by colopathy that is manifested with digestive and bowel transit.
In these cases, to my patients I recommend to follow these guidelines.
1. Eat a lot of grain, fruits and vegetables.
2. Eliminate spicy foods, carbohydrates, alcoholic and carbonated drinks from your diet.
3. Quit smoking(if you do smoke).

However a fibrorectosigmoidoscopy is necessary for the diagnosis.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
