Based on my LMP, my blood pressure is 120/70 and I do not have nausea or vomiting, but I suffer from frequent constipation and gastric issues. What medicines can I take to treat these symptoms safely?
Your blood pressure of 120/70 is excellent. Since you mentioned your LMP (Last Menstrual Period), you may be pregnant, so safety is our top priority. For constipation, increasing dietary fibre and water intake is the safest first step. If medication is needed, bulk-forming fibre supplements like psyllium or mild stool softeners like docusate sodium are generally safe. For gastric issues or heartburn, calcium carbonate-based antacids or famotidine can provide safe relief. Please avoid strong stimulant laxatives and consult your obstetrician or gynaecologist before starting any new medication to ensure it is perfectly safe for your specific situation.
