Any doctors out there...

[colderthancold]

This is going to sound ridiculous but...

I keep having random moments when I feel faint or dizzy or spaced out.

Here's the bonkers bit...

Once I've had a poo the feeling disappears.

Is that a thing? Is it in my head?

Hmm . I think you should see a real doctor. You need to have a proper diagnosis for your dizziness. If you have a poo you increase your intra-abdominal pressure which may have an effect on your BP. It doesn’t sound silly at all - us GP’ s love that sort of detective work but you need a real one to sort this out!

You probably have low blood pressure and/or postural tachycardia. You need it looked into. Are you eating and drinking (fluids, not alcohol, obviously...) enough? For the time being I would try increasing water intake and see if that helps a bit.

I feel embarrassed about telling a doctor because my theory sounds so completely mental.

They're already investigating but I just haven't told them about the poo bit.

I feel ridiculous even thinking it could be related
