General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello
I appreciate your concern
I would advise you certain dietary changes and lifestyle modifications to relieve from constipation like
Have plenty of fluids, lots of dietary fibers with fresh fruits and vegetables
Avoid smoking and alcohol
Exercise regularly like brisk walking or jogging or swimming
You can do abdominal exercise like moving it in and out while bending down with keeping your hands on the knees

Since you didn't have adequate sleep that's why your BP have raised you need not to worry it will be alright once you will have or plover rest and sleep.

If you can provide me more information about you and your health like your age and complete medical history, I will be able to guide you better

Hope this answers your question
thanks and regards
