No. Constipstion can be from poor food choices and lack of liquids going into a person's system. Medication can also have a negetive impact on a person's bowels. A person's digestive system has nothing to do with the person's circulatory system. However, a common factor between constipation and heart disease is a POOR DIET. There is a relationship between constipation and heart disease, but remember that RELATIONSHIP does not mean CAUSE!

No. Are taking any pain meds? Or any other meds? Please be aware that Constipation can lead a major medical problem. Talk to your doctor if has been going on for the last few days and if you havent had any bowel movement in the last 72 hours, or major discomfort in your abdomen area.

When your body lacks potassium,you get constipated and if your potassium gets too low your heart will stop. That's what happen to Karen Carpenter. She drain the potassium out with limon water(diuretics are very dangerous). Then she took laxatives.

No , it means you have a lack of fiber in your diet.

no. it is just inconvenient. It is a sign of dehydration and dehydration can lead to heart failure. Unless you have been jumping on a trampoline, the problem is that you are just dried out. More water. Take a laxative and deal with those effects for a day. You are fine.

No. You probably have heartburn. Constipation can build up pressure. I drink Kiefer with Garden of Life's "Super Seed" to keep me regular
