gastrointestinal...constipated...pop under ribcage

gastrointestinal...constipated...pop under ribcage

I felt a pop under my ribcage 4 evenings ago.  I had a bm, very hard the next morning which was 3 days ago.  I have been constipated over a week now.  I've eatten prunes 5 to 7 per day and when they ran out started sennakot 2 per day for 2 days and today I took5.  Still nothing.  In addition I am consuming only 1000 calories per day and eatting mostly vegtables.  I have also eatten hard boiled eggs, pita bread, turkey and cheese, which could be part of the problem.
I'm wondering if I may have a hiatil hernia?  It is not like me not to go after eatting prunes.  Also I was on pain medication up to Sunday but have not taken any since Sunday morning, the last time I passed, 3 days ago.  I am drinking moreliquids too.  Remember, I'm eatting mostly salads and fruit.  Am I in danger?
I'm also have severe menstrul cramps, but no bleeding.
Sorry for the grossness but its what I need to talk about.
I have taken long walks three days in a row as well, but not today because of menstrul pain.
Thank You
Should I call my dr or go to hospital?  It is 8pm

Yes i think you should contact your doctor, you shouldn't have to put up with that pain, it could be something serious and if u leave it too long it may be too late so dont wait see your doctor now.

hi i am so sorry to hear that you are in pain and are finding it hard to go at times. i think i am 99.9% sure you have constipation in the bowls where you could have cramps or pains e.g. sharp pains. speak to your doctor he/she will feel your tummy to see how it feels. ask if you can be prescribed lactulose and movical.(lactulose makes it feel more comfortable to go. you recieve it on prescription by your doctor and it is a liquid and comes in a bottle.) (movicol helps you to go within twenty four hours. it is a powder and comes in sachets.) your doctor will tell you how much of these you will need. or he/she might prescribe something different. i heard cranberry juice helps you to go to the toilet . you also need alot of fibre in your body like wheatabix. i am an expert on constipation in the bowls i have suffered with it mosy of my life. i know how much pain and how annoying it can be for you. if you do not get this treated you could die from it just before or after a year if you havent gone in that period of time. your bowels explode then all the poisen(poo) gets into your bloodstream, poisens your blood then you die. please trust me on this. i have allot of experience. go see your doctor. i hope you feel better soon. please tell me what happened and if i have helped you in any way.
