dizzy before bowel movement

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?

My GI doctor and Neurologist say it's nerve related... I recently have it.

Hello, those drinks are bad, they made me sick too, it's one of the ingredients in them, look at the ingredients, it's called celiane or something I forgot how to spell it, the nutritionists at UCLA told me about it, she said drink ensure juice boxes instead.

Both of the Rx are not good after long term use.

Yes the vagus nerve in the brain, the gut and brain go hand n hand.. I have the same issue.

It's the Vagus nerve in the brain...

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 

Hi Susan.  I have been experiencing the feeling of rocking on a boat for a little over a year now.  The ENT ran a videonystagmogram (?), hearing tests and an MRI.  All came back negative.  He said he believes I have vestibular migraine.  All the symptoms of a migraine without the headache.  What type of specialist did you see?  What kind of medication did they prescribe?  Were your symptoms constant or would they come and go?  Mine have been constant since last January and I'm really tired of it.  I feel off all the time. 

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

If you don't have anything related to acidity or gastroenteritis, go to doctor asap.

Hi Melissa

Have your dr check for thyroid antibodies, I believe it is called Tpo and TSI , its blood work to check for autoimmune immune thyroid disease.  These diseases can cause rapid weight loss if its Graves disease or Hyperthyroidism.

Also make sure to take Magnesium, food based supplement is better it helps with breathing and anxiety too.

Buy yourself a good Raw , Whole Food multimineral/ multivitamin as our body goes out of whack if we don’t supply our body with them properly.

Check your Vitamin D level too as this is usually low in many of us,  you can try buying some at Vitamin Shoppe or Fruitful yield.  

Hope this helps, Blessings and stay positive 😊

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!

I also have chronic neck pain and issues. I wonder if my nerves are acting up as well. Dr’s are no help anymore. They seem to just treat symptoms and never try to figure out the cause. It’s a shame

I was told to take 100 mg Asprin daily and this would enable the blood flow to the brain and stop the vertigo incidents. It has worked but if I lay off the Asprin then it can along with any virus cold etc it can produce what happened the other day. It is a terrible feeling because almost no one talks about it but over the past few days relating what happened to me everyone knew about Vertigo.

Wow. I have had this problem for a few months now. Same thing. I have narrowed it down to when poop is moving through my colon, it causes me to be very dizzy and suddenly very anxious. Like I’m about to have a panic attack. I go to the bathroom almost immediately after and BOOM it all goes away. Until tomorrow when it happens all over again! I was diagnosed with IBS and recently found out I had an alpha Gal allergy. I suspect it has something to do with my colon just being very pressure sensitive. My doc has run every test under the sun and said I’m fine.

I am a 43 year old male and I have been getting the same symptoms for the last few weeks.
Tingling especially in my leg and buttocks before a bowel movement.
I have a compressed nerve at C5/C6 which creates havoc so maybe this is related
Either way an awful feeling especially when the Anxiety dragon rears it’s ugly head.
Hope you manage to get this sorted.

YES! I do, its because if stimulating the VAGUS NERVE and causing Vagal Syncope. You probably already know this since your post id 5 years old. i simply hate the feeling.

Hi, I also suffer from these same symptoms and yes, anxiety and panic attacks can be a tremendous burden on those who have them and those who are in their every day lives. I have been having them for years now. My SO is getting about as tired of hearing about it as I am experiencing them.. They affect me at all times of the day, at work, at home, while driving.. I’m still searching for answers and am very happy in a selfish way to see so mainly others with the same concerns and issues. you know what they say, “misery loves company!” All joking aside, I hope you have found a cure for your ailments or at least a way to cope with them.
I have found that meditation has helped me learn to clear my mind easier when it all becomes too overwhelming. Stretching also helps to relieve stress in my neck and shoulders when the anxiety starts to build, causing me to yawn which also releases stress. I wish you well and hope you feel better!:blush:
