A member asked:
I have ibs so i strain on the toilet at times. recently when i strain ive been getting a headache type pain in the back of my head. is that from the straining? is it something to worry about?

Does other straining also cause head pain? Do you have frequent headaches? Any family history of intracranial aneurysms? If you answer yes to these questions, I'd consider checking for intracranial aneurysms. Like coughing, straining for a BM can temporarily increase venous pressure within the brain and also tightens scalp muscles, both benign issues. Discuss this with your MD or a neurologist
