A member asked:
I just had an enema at the emergency room because i was so constipated, and after i got severely nauseated and shaky, cold sweat and rapid heart beat, why did that happen to me???

Fluid shifts: Depending on the kind of enema (sodium phosphate?) you can have rapid fluid and electrolyte shifts and have what's akin to a vaso-vagal reaction. It's better not to have to use enemas. Consider a daily maintenance dose of a laxative like Milk of Magnesia (magnesium hydroxide).
