Valsalva?: You may be experiencing a valsalva reaction as you bear down and strain. This may affect blood pressure to your brain which may make you feel dim in vision, dizzy, or a faint feeling. It looks like your md is evaluating your heart ; bp, ; eyes ok. Maybe a neurologist could help to rule-out a structural problem, particularly if this is frequently occurring.
