Hello QuazimRaza, I’m so sorry you are having such trouble. I’m no expert bar my husband had a mild heart attack and couldn’t tolerate statins and I’m on blood pressure medications. However I am prone to constipation and I find anything new to my body such as medications or even travelling abroad and slightly different diet/food triggers it. Maybe what’s having a bigger impact is your difficulties with walking as walking and moving helps with constipation. I really think you should go to your own doctor for help and advice as this difficulty will bring its own problems. There are stool softeners and other products like psyllium husks that could really help. Psyllium is very effective for constipation but it’s vitally important to drink loads of water with it and some people may be allergic to it. It can be taken 2-3 hours away from medications early in the morning or late at night to avoid interfering with medication and I personally don’t think it’s a good idea to be on these aids long term. It’s better to train the body to stimulate bowel movement itself. Just remember to always drink plenty of liquids daily anyway as this helps. Your pharmacist is trained to know what products interfere with medications so ask for advice and I strongly recommend you visit your doctor you need help

Ps. I forgot to say that dry mouth can be caused by bad constipation and dehydration. Start drinking lots of water, herbal teas like peppermint and other liquids will help.

first of all i m very thankful to that you give me advise and care about my post. i think codtipation is dur to one psychology medicine.

i m much worry about my heart problem. my heart does not tolerate light walk. doctors are also double minded that is it due to psycho problem or due to my heart problem. i m again thankful to u for giving me in detail answer.

You’re very welcome. I really hope you get your heart problem sorted. There seems to be so much doctors can now do for the heart but maybe in these covid times everything is delayed.
