Tmi - anyone else get really poorly when they poo?? 😳

[DameDestressed]

As the title says! I get so hot and sweaty and dizzy I have to sit naked in the toilet. Then afterwards I have to lie on my bed with a fan on to recover 😳!! It makes me feel so poorly during and for about half an hour afterwards.

Anyone else??

What’s your blood pressure like? I get like this when I have a nasty IBS flare (loose poop) or if my blood pressure is low (i have pots)

I have always had low blood pressure but not too low needing intervention. Its horrendous, I dread going. It happens every time. What is pots? I totally sympathise!

I have low blood pressure and always went dizzy while pregnant and going to the loo.
Used to throw up most times too 🤦🏻‍♀️

I used to get this a lot the week before my period. Are you anemic?

My bloods came back fine during my booking in appointment and I'm taking pregnancy supplements.

Maybe it is something worth mentioning yo my midwife. I'm only 11/12 weeks and I cannot imagine going another 28 weeks like this!

I don’t get that but I do get shaky and weak and I’m 11+1 so I think it’s low blood pressure xx

It's ridiculous how poorly I feel from pooing. I'm not even straining or the opposite. I've had it three times today 😔 I have two children I don't have time to be poorly from going to the toilet!!!

I get it regularly with my IBS to the point I've lay on a cold wet bathroom floor to get relief, apparently it's from the water in your body pushing into your bowel to help you pass the stool, so it's like a rapid dehydration. It also affect you more if you have low BP I have IBS C and get this with a flare up, are you constipated?

Best advice I can give is drink plenty of fluid and even take a bottle of water to the loo with you (I know it's the last place you fancy a drink but helps with the dizziness)

I had this once a few months ago...I was about 4ish months pregnant...I had bad belly cramps like I had diorea coming...sat on the loo & passed a bit...But I came over all hot sweaty breathless stomach was really cramping...I had to lay on the floor...then rang my partner screaming about the pain telling him to get home (feel very dramatic now,but at the time it was dreadful)...Sat on the loo head on the sink hands under the cold tap...splashing my face...It passed & I've never had it since...but it terrified me at the time.I do get really constipated...never go regularly...once/twice a week...but it's got worse in pregnancy...using lactulose but I get so scared of that happening again...I feel so bad for you!If it keeps happening I'd defo go doctors...
