I'm having a really tough time with constipation for the past two days. It's so painful, and to make it worse, there's blood whenever I try to go. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I've been having this issue where I feel a strong urge to pass stool, but once I'm actually on the toilet, it just doesn't fully evacuate. It's like I can go a little, but then something seems to block it. It ends up happening in bits over the day, like 3 or 4 times. Is this something I should be worried about, like why can't I just get it all out in one go?

I've been experiencing some chest pain that's worrying me, especially when I bend over or first thing in the morning. Its more like a pinning sensation sometimes. I've had an ECG, echo, TMT, and chest X-rays, and they all came back normal. I'm currently on gastric meds like Razl, VSL#3, Sucraloc, and Normaxin. The pain mostly bothers me when I wake up, but not so much during the rest of the day. Could this be muscular or something gastric-related even though I don't have heartburn? I do notice the pain very occasionally while eating, but it doesn't last long. What could be going on?
