A member asked:
I have been experiencing dizziness when i need to have a bowel movement . it happens 1/2 before and mostly subsides within 1/2 hour after. should i be?

Take your pulse: Sometimes bowel moveents trigger a vagal response with associated low blood pressure and pulse. The duration of time that you experience these symptoms is much longer than would be typically expected even if this was the cause. It might be best to be seen by your doctor since the cause may be something more unusual.
