Question 1

chest pain after bowel movement? have been slightly constipated lately. is this the cause or is it something else?

Accepted Answer

Probably unrelated: I believe it is coincidental that you noticed chest pain after a bowel movement. Straining to pass stool does increase intra-abdominal pressure, but it would be unusual for this to cause chest pain, especially in a young woman of your age.  If this is the only time you have chest pain, I think you can watch and see what happens. Work to relieve your constipation with more water, fiber, exercise.

Question 2

is this a sign of a damaged vagus nerve? every day before i have a bowel movement, i feel hyper stimulation in my intestines & it causes me to vomit!!

Accepted Answer

Vagal stimulation: This is a normal reaction to a valsalver 
maneuver like stooling strong or strong coughing.
The vans nerve is innervated causing GI effects inc;luring emesis, but is not nerve damage!~ No worries...

Question 3

why do i sometimes get chest pains before a bowel movement?

Accepted Answer

Reflux: Straining to have a bowel movement increases abdominal pressure and can result in gastric reflux which causes heartburn.

Question 4

can lack of bowel movements cause hbp, pounding racing heart rates, and chest pains?  been checked w/ct, heart monitor. all negative.

Accepted Answer

Try Miralax (polyethylene glycol): Find colorectal surgeon or gastroenterologist. Try MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) before appointment. Directions are on the box or call pcp.

Question 5

for the last 1.5 months ive been having these episodes that include: migraine, increased bpm, ear pressure, lump in throat, bad taste in mouth, chest pain, bowel movement light headed, burning body sensation. comes and goes and no answers?

Accepted Answer

Varied symptoms: These varied symptoms may not be explainable by one medical disorder. I recommend consulting a specialist in internal medicine who will take a thorough history and system review, perform a complete physical examination and order testing. After the assessment you may then be referred to appropriate specialists which may include stress management therapy, neurologist, Otolaryngologist.

Question 6

i am experiencing stomach cramps without cramping in lower abdomen, severe chest pain or discomfort of sudden onset, on both sides, that gets worse with deep breaths, sudden movements, pressing on the chest, exercise, bending forward, and that gets better

Accepted Answer

Chest pain: If you have had sudden onset of chest pain, you should be seen by a provider.

Question 7

why endometriosis causes painful bowel movement during period?

Accepted Answer

Because: endometriosis are islands of the uterus cells scattered outside the uterus majority are located around the uterus and the ovaries some could be located on the colon and the small bowels rarely they could be located inside or on the lining of the stomach,small bowels,or large bowels
So when it is your periods started ,these cells bleed as well and cause inflammation and sometimes bleeding
