Developed severe constipation

2023-12-07 13:24:25
Hello Doctors, My Blood pressure medication was changed from Ramipril to Amlodipine 5 mg in the morning and Dilzem CD 120 at night. Since I started with Amlodipine, I started passing hard stools and since past 4 days I am having severe constipation and extreme difficulty in passing stools. I get feeling to defecate and bloating feeling but when I go to loo, I am not able to pass stool. It has become so hard it doesn't come out. I feel pain and it is stuck, so day before yesterday I tried to take it out with finger but blood came out with it. I took half teaspoon Evict that night, so next day evening I was able to pass stool very little, but no blood came. Today again, I went to loo, it was not coming out, so I tried to help it out delicately with finger, no scratch but still blood came out. I am very worried what do I do? This didn't happen before. I eat very less spices or salt, I have been taking milk, apple, papaya, oats with milk and khichdi to relieve for past days.

Sir kindly consult a general surgeon also once to get a per rectal examination (examine the anus with a gloves finger) bleeding without any injury sounds a bit odd!.. kindly consult once and get it done along with the suggestions from other physicians

Both, Amlodipine and Ramipril have been blamed for Diarrhoea and Constipation and Bloating of the abdomen. In other words you need treatment for constipation as if it is a new entity. Please consult with your General Physician regarding the reason why you have been shifted to Amlodipine, and if you can go back to Ramipril. You should also consult a Gastroenterologist for further treatment because your Constipation is becoming a bigger problem than your Hypertension.
