..Valsalva Maneuver: 30 y/o woke up 1.30am with bad abdominal pains...struggled to pass stool for one hour & started to get bumps on forehead like allergic reaction. Bumps may be result of excessive straining for BM, producing the Valsalva Maneuver which can transiently increase BP and damage small blood vessels (looking like bumps). Best to see one's PCP or go to the ER for evaluation and proper management.
