Can digestion issues cause dizziness and exhaustion

[Pollypower]

I think I have constipation and trapped wind but also experiencing tiredness and dizziness. Can they be linked.

I am not medically qualified - but yes, in my experience. I get terrible acid indigestion, and in the midst of it I feel like I’m going to die - dizzy, pale grey face, sort of weak in my body and as if I am fading away. It’s hard to describe, but bloody awful. Once it starts to go I can’t believe how ill I felt. I think a lot of people go to hospital thinking they are having a heart attack when it’s actually indigestion - that’s how bad it can feel.

However - maybe get yourself checked out if it persists. You could try a course of gaviscon before food, and there are lots of things you can take for trapped wind.

I've had this. The Doctor gave me a diazepam because I thought I was dying. Sounds ridiculous but I felt horrendous. And told me to take gaviscon for 2 weeks. I've also cut out fizzy drinks and watch what I eat now. Stress can bring on digestion problems and trapped gas which I think was the cause of mine.
