Poop when you have a hot flash?

Hello,

I seem to have a hot flush just before I poop, but now I'm starting to wonder if it's the actual hot flush that causes me to poop.

So before pooping, I get hot, sweaty, fast heart rate, shortness of breath...

Sorry about the question, it's a horrible feeling and very distressing and doctors are not helping.

Anyone else?

Thanks!!

      Horrible isn't it?

      Doctors say they have never heard of such symptoms yet on forums I have found a few people who have them.
