Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Abdominal Pain Followed By Headaches And Nausea?
I recently went to the hospital and told them I was experiencing severe stomach pain followed by headaches and nausea. I know that I am constipated as well, however, I have tried many enemas, laxatives, and medicines from the hospital as well as from my normal stomach doctor. I have this problem all the time, at least a few times a month and I just want to know why and how to fix it. Eating more fiber and drinking more water has not helped in the past either.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I understand your concern.
Constipation can cause digestive disturbance nausea &head ahe due to physical &psychological stress.
You had tried change in diet & water intake along with enemas,purgatives &medicines.
I would suggest stool examination to find any infection (amoebiasis/worm infestations) which can lead to constipation followed by specific treatment. Also exercises of abdominal muscles (pranayama) along with regular exercises including walking for 45 minutes a day.
Forming a regular visit to toilet as a habit, this would help you. A big glass of warm water with few drops of lemon and a spoon of honey- drink first thing in morning, helps a lot along with all of above things would help you definitely.
Thanks.
Regards
