A member asked:
Everytime my stomach is brewing for a bowel movement i get really dizzy and lightheaded. why is this? can i faint from it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible to faint...: It could be due to the pressure built up in your intestines which can elevate your total blood pressure, then your body counteracts this by sending signals which lower your pressure by rebound. Yes, some patients can faint from this but it's rare. Constipation makes this worse, consider that if it's a factor.
