9. List of your complaints -

It all started at the age of 14 years when I was down with
Jaundice & simultaneously with typhoid & Para-typhoid. Developed a weak liver & digestive system. Gradually developed into a weak body structure. Unable to digest food properly.
Feel bloated after a small meal. The bloatedness remains throughout the day. Feel uneasy in breathing due to the bloatedness (shortness of breath). The severity has increased since the last 4 years.
There is an uneasy feeling in the abdominal region when I wear some clothes.
I feel difficulty in passing even a soft stool. Throughout the day, there is an urge to pass the stool.
There is totally no activity of intestine or rectum. All this results in loss in concentration towards my work. Inferiority complex has also developed due to lack of vigour.Bowel movement very rare, most of the time I don’t have bowel movement for more than 8 days. Then I resort to taking laxatives as the pain in the back becomes unbearable.
Stool is soft & yellowish/brownish with lot of mucus & intestinal linings.
At present, I am taking Naturolax as a laxative.I remain constipated for days as a result I feel very uncomfortable, aggressive, can’t tolerate anything & don’t feel hungry at all.
Feeling of pressure at the point of anus & in the rectum. Severe back pain in the morning especially at right hand side of the spinal chord.

Since last few days I am having pain right on the front lower end of the left chest- just beneath the sternum.
