dizzy before bowel movement

Omg i thought i'm the only one who experiencing the same symptoms! it sucks so bad, i thought im having a panic attack or highblood I'll get so dizzy,cold hand and cold feet then i need to rush in the toilet, after i empty ,i started to feel normal again...and this only happened at late afternoon

wow just the way i feel please update your stats if possible i just started to feel this way landed in the er and done a bunch of test but found nothing so far im going to fall in to depression if i dont fix or find out whats wrong whit me

I definitely feel nauseous before a bowel movement. It's awful because my anxiety is connected to emetophobia so usually triggers a panic attack! 

Hi!

Please check your Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D level.

I am being diagnosed for these deficiencies and having all these symptoms we all are discussing here.

Take care.

I also get lightheaded before a bowl movement almost every time and it's awful. I also get shaky and anxious and dizziness. Seen a GI doc a few years ago and he said could be from my Vagus nerve. Not much I can do about that but I do know I can't libe like this!

I really thought I was the only person they goes threw this.. Shewww ,lol but I get dizzy sometimes my heart papatates but not to much..

I feel like I want to pass out and even get weak. Then a lit while after I have a moment I feel so much better.. But this is causing me to have panic attacks with I do suffer from once in a while... Does anyone know what this is are what causes it

Hi there,

I suffered from faintness, cold sweat and occasionally nausea followed by bowel movement, for 5 years now, while the last couple of years the situation got so worse that my social life was affected.

Many visits to all kinds of doctors, many tests, no finds. Most of the times I was advised to visit a neurologist.

Well, I had a breakthrough and I want to share it with you.

Three weeks ago I visited another gastrointestinal doctor who prescribed:

1)one tablet pantoprazole 40mg every morning 30 minutes before eating, taken for 2 weeks

2)one tablet diazepam+clidinium bromide (2mg+2.5mg) morning and one tablet night, 30 minutes before eating.

The change was immediate! During these 20 days, I have found myself again. My energy is back. No fainting spells followed by bowel movements.

I know it maybe too soon to tell, but my problem was so frequent and I was feeling soooooo bad, that the change is overwhelming!

Hope this may help.

All the best

Hi Carl36762

I have just came acroos your post after I have started searching for answers myself as I to have this problem and have had it now for a few years. In my case it seem to have started after I got very ill a few years ago and the Doctors diagnosed me with CFS and a possible Autoimmune disease. I have slowly gotten better over the last 3 years, but I to still have a few ongoing issues and this problem is one of them sometimes it even feels like i'm going to pass out. But the same as you after I go I start to feel better..As this is an old post just wondering if you have found any answers..

When pushing you lower your blood pressure. Do you have blood pressure issues at all? Low or high. It is actually a way to lower it and lower palpatations oddly.

If you are still suffering with any symptoms and the doctor as done all the checks. Like everything you are describing is exactly what I went through and after a long time I then was diagnosed with a sort of anxiety and panic attacks witch are very bad of left untreated but it's very treatable

I know your pain.

I have suffered with panic and anxiety for a few years now and have been on some meds with some cbt for it and it has pretty much killed random panic attacks dead which is great.

However now that the constant attacks are over I have noticed that I still get random panic feeling pre certain type of bowel movement, also pre vomiting often for no reason.

I have no problem believing that my anxiety has a root cause and has been at least been sort of dealt with.

I am 35 years old and one of the tests my doctor did was hormonal anxiety in your 30's can be a sign that you are peri menopausal it can be triggers just by being a bit older and a drop in your hormones.

My hormones came back normal but they said that because they had nothing to compare it with they could have dropped still within normal range but less for me if you see what I mean.

For me right now I am starting to wonder if it is a chicken or the egg type thing.

Do I get panic and then bad tummy or do I have a bad tummy then anxiety.

So many studies are showing the brain and the bowels are linked more than we knew, so much so they are starting to call the intestines the second brain.

My mum suffered from ibs for years and years and I have always struggled since teenage years with issues, all my tests for thyroid, diabetes etc have come back clear for years.

So this long rambling post is basically me saying I have no idea but I think the gut and brain are so linked that an imbalance in one causes the other to mess up.

Also I am epileptic and on long term meds for it so...wtf knows
