My symptoms include a very slight headache but no fever, sensitivity to light, or fatigue.

I've been constipated for two months, my primary doctor put me on laxatives, sometimes they work sometimes they don’t. Last night I fell asleep on my stomach and now my stomach and abdomen hurt. Not sure if it's something I should be worried about. My whole body is shaking when I lay on my left side and I feel extremely tired. I’ve also been put on antibiotics because I’ve gotten a yeast infection. And I believe I also have a sinus infection due to headaches, ear aches, and a cough. How can I address these issues?
