Constipation
Hi I am experiencing constipation from past few days. Stools were hard initially and normal in later part for past 2 days. Very mild stomach pain is there sometimes.From today morning constipation has become more and haven't passed stool at all. I am taking esomac 40 mg for gastric alternate days from past 2 yrs and cardace 5mg for BP from past 1.5 yrs. Pls advice how to reduce constipation and when should I consult doctor if this issue doesn't reduce.
