What Causes Tightness In Stomach And Difficulty In Passing Stool?

last night after I had fallen asleep I woke up feeling a strong urge to go to the bathroom (Bowel Movement) when getting to the toilet there was no ability to void the bowel but the feeling was still there...and in fact my whole tummy felt very tight and my head was feeling really FULL of pressure? Like I could actually feel my ears, my, eyes, and all of my teeth throbbing. I finally eliminated something after sitting for about 5 minutes (seemed like) wondering about the whole thing...got back into bed and fell back to sleep. woke up with a sinus type headache when I cough

Hi
Thankyou for your quiry.
Brief answer... It is called constipation.
Detailed answer..
Constipation can occur because of decreased fibres in diet, drinking less water, and also can be side effect of some medicines like antidepressants.
I would suggest first of all increase fibre in diet , have plenty of vegetables ,raw fruits,decrease non veg. diet ,start exercising daily and you may take syp lactulose before sleeping.
