Hi Dear, Welcome to HCM. Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of constipation and trapped wind in chest and back area . There can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like irritable bowel syndrome, some medications like antidepressants, eating a lot of dairy products, acidity and lack of fibres in diet. Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of hot, sharp and spicy food substances. For now drink lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. Drinking warm water throughout the day will also be helpful. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon. You should get barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. You can also be advised to take stool softeners like Docusate, laxative like Polyethylene glycol. You can be advised prescription medicines like Linclotide and Lubiprostone. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
