At your age, constipation like this is often linked to lower fluid intake, less fiber, reduced activity, or some of the medicines you're already taking.
Next Steps
Please mention this to whoever prescribes your BP, thyroid, and other medicines, since a few of them can slow the gut down.
Health Tips
Don't rely on laxatives long term without a doctor checking the actual cause first.
