first of all you avoid constipation
take plenty of water and high roughage diet
take some laxatives that suits you
regarding chest painand other complains get a cardiac check up
any cardiac cause should be excluded
hoping earlyrecovery

Shortness of breath, with chest pain (your age ?, any risk factors- hypertension, diabetes), please get yourself evaluated.
Regarding hard stools- Tke food with fibre content and a laxative (bulk forming- isabgaul) may help.

don't take laxatives.
drink water. tea, coffee and alcohol dries you out.
eat ground flax in cereal or on salads or in breakfast shakes.
flax seed oil is also great, but keep it in fridge or it becomes rancid.
eat prunes. they make cherry infused ones that are divine!
posted this as answer to another Q but works here:
took me years to figure out what my prob was: thought it was chest pain, thought it was my lungs at first, then when it got bad i thought i was having a heart attack. then it got REALLY bad and i realized that i could feel everything (food, spit) going down slowly and painfully. (after the initial feeling of "pill stuck in throat.")
then i heard - on "scrubs" no less - "what are the 5 main causes of chest pain?" one of them was gastro esophageal spasms! aha! started paying attention to when i get them. RED WINE PAIRED WITH CHOCOLATE SEEMS TO MAKE IT WORSE. CERTAIN MEDICATIONS SEEM TO MAKE IT WORSE. (just cuz the docs think you should take it doesn't mean your stomach thinks the same!) had it bad after dental work, thought it was my lungs from drilling dust, but it was this from the pain meds!
incidentally, you doctors should be ashamed of yourselves, suggesting painful and expensive tests and more drugs, when changing what and how you eat is such an obvious solution. FOOD ALLERGIES AND ALLERGIES TO AIRBORNE TOXINS, MOLD, DUST, POLLEN, ETC ARE A HUGE PROBLEM. AS IS DOCTORS PRESCRIBING PILLS LIKE CANDY...
