dizzy before bowel movement

Hi. I just discovered this thread because I was doing a search on the same topic. I, literally, just had the same thing happen to me and it has happened several times before. I was feeling fine, although my appetite has been weird off and on, but, I drank one of those equate chocolate nutritional shakes (kinda like chocolate milk). Right after that, I started feeling really nauseous. I ended up having to go to the bathroom(#2) and was feeling even more nauseous during that. After I was done, I took a motion sickness pill to help with the nausea and did some laps back and forth in the hall to relieve some anxiety. I've had this happen many times before. I am on meds for anxiety and I have a horrible fear of vomiting (emetophobia) so it's an awful feeling because the nausea causes anxiety and then the anxiety causes more nausea as well as getting really hot, sweats, racing hurt, etc. Just trying to figure out why that drink made me feel sick and why having to go to the bathroom causes anxiety and nausea sometimes. I can drink that shake other times and feel fine. Also, sometimes I can think about eating certain foods and it makes me feel nauseous...like eggs for example. Weird😕

Hi.  Can you tell me if you ever had this issue diagnosed?  I am having similar issues and my doctors have found nothing.  I am just curious.

Thank you

Firstly thanks to everyone for their posts. It really is quite soothing to hear that so many people have virtually same thing as me.

FYI: I used to get severe panic attacks. I mean "call the ambulance I'm friggin dying". This happened to me after I put my self through hell. I say put myself because I think had a taken a different approach I would have been a lot better able to take on the issues at the time. The weirdest thing at first was accepting that the issues were not physical but only mental. That alone was a massive hurdle. Once I accepted that - I started training again and got myself into pristine physical condition. I was an animal - I ran 5kms every morning. Whether it was raining or not. Freezing or not (too crazy for some). Within 6 months I had lost my 20kgs of flab and 3 months after that I have a very defined 6 pack. I don't know if the anguish and pushing and effort that I put in is what made the anxiety go away - or if it was simply the fact that I was doing something positive for myself - but it went away. I went from feeling like I couldn't breathe and having heartbattacks to feeling like I was 18 and on top do the world. This was at 32 yo.

I'm now 35, landed a high pressure job, got engaged, bought a house, got married, had a few nagging issues and got a moderate case of vitiligo as a result which all caused me to put the weight on again and get the feelings people are describing above: random litttle episodes throughout the day, dizzy (usually before toilet but not always) feeling weak.

Trust me people - it's just deeper issues that have been left untreated. These make your body give you signs that stuff needs to change. It almost always is for the better.

I've started now again - 4 weeks in actually - to eat right and move around a lot more. Being outside (sun) and exercise gives you a lot of good chemicals and let's your body do a lot of the good things it might not get to do with its current lifestyle. Everything from going to the toilet properly to breathing comfortably. Sometimes even pushing through what you think is too hard - lets you build up trust with your body again.

Keep working at it people - I'm beginning my journey again- see you on the other side!!

Hi, yes I have been experiencing nausea and dizziness before bowel movements. My GI doctor says it's nerve related, our nerves in the brain and bowels go hand n hand. Plus I have a GI condition. Do you still experience this?

Yes. This happens to me all the time, add since I was 18. I would have got flash then straight to sweat as I lay on the floor. It comes in waves. And usually ends in movement. As I've gotten older I am finding triggers. I've had everything done with no big findings but ibs and lactose intolerant

I don’t know what’s going on to me I need help because I was doing this one job for 5 months I just had quit because I got sick on the job I was losing a lot a weight fast always weak it does not go away then when I have to go to the bath room I’m  dizzy my head hurts my  stomach hurts hard to breathe that’s what I feel like when I got to go to the bathroom then all Thur the day I lay down cause I’m so weak if I try to do a lot I will pass out and when I go to the doctors they check my blood and they say they don’t know what’s wrong with me and I have to always try hard to breathe my name is Melissa I’m 20 years old I don’t know what’s going on but I’m scared because passing out blacking out and seeing weird things while it happening 

I have been getting dizzy spells for the last 3 hours...then i went to use the bathroom and it was gone for about 12 mins...btu now its back

As a 75 year old male it is alarming to find no one seems to know what the answer is. Nothing is wore or more humiliating than falling down in a toilet just to get the cold floor next to your face and finding you have defecated into your clothes. Worse still someone has to help clean you up. I used to go to parties and would be an ice breaker but now I hide away; I was young then. A recent visit to a local hospital telling doctors what would happen asking to be put in a toilet so that the waste could be washed away; no one listen (to what I was telling them) and when the event happened again I was called disgusting and a dirty old man. Doctors and nurses seem to walk around with make up on and doctors prance around with a knowing every thing but fail to understand no one knows it all. But what I do know is in my case my neck was not broken in a car accident but stretched almost straight. This stopped the flow of blood to the brain and caused a vertigo effect. Dropping to the floor vomiting relieved the pressure; may have been the ride to hospital in the back of a ambulance type the smaller ones. Every one was bounced over every pothole in the road. However when you cannot vomit because you have dry reached for over 4 hours the only other place that can relive the pressure I dont have to paint the picture. 100 mg of asprin helped taken daily releave that, works for me most times. In conclusion real nurses are angels, real doctors are great people all the rest riff raf in-between and should look elsewhere.

I've had these issues right before and since neck surgery but none if the doctors I've seen really have any answers. It seems like when there is a nerve being triggered in my colon or something. I'll

just be doing my daily routine and it comes on suddenly. Occasionally the world starts spinning and I have to carefully get to the restroom to throw up. Very frustrating!
