Hi,

You asked for:
1. "What causes severe constipation along with high blood pressure?"
2. "Used a suppository earlier and finally had a bowel movement and she said she had a lot of blood in it. What could be causing this?"

My answers:
1. Constipation has many causes, but it may be also a side effect of anithypertensive drugs like: calcium channel blockers, clonidine, hydralazine,
monoamine inhibitors oxidase [MOAI], methyldopa.
2.But constipation and blood in stools in old people may be due to cancer of bowel.
I find this answer helpful
