Hi last night I was pooping had a bad stomach ache. I passed out and when I came around the right side of my felt like it had shut down. I couldn’t open my right eye for a few minutes. Am I looking at the right page or should I go to mini strokes
I'm the same way, severe stomach cramps , cold sweat , nausea, I can't tell if I'm going to have a bowel movement or throw up sometimes it's both. I have passed out when this happened and ended up in the hospital because when I fell I hit my face and head, broke my nose, knocked 4 teeth out and split my lower lip in half. I've had more than one incidence of this happening but at least I know now not to try to stand up and too immediately lay down.
@@jgraf2307 Sorry this happens to you as well. Ouch, that must have hurt. My husband’s had to hold me up on the toilet while I was passing out, so embarrassing. I did get a tv tray that I put in front of me with a pillow on-top, so if I pass out hopefully I don’t fall over. My doctor gave me an antispasmodic that lessens the cramping time, thankful for that. Take care. (Hugs)
@@jgraf2307 I got the folding tv tray, $10 bucks at Walmart. I can tuck it away in the bathroom until an attack hits. It’s nice to lay on while I try to relax as much as possible.
Went to the ER today, almost ended up passing out after pooping. My heart rate fell well below 48BPM (was wearing my Apple Watch).. skin got pale, sweats, dizziness etc. ambulance took me in, even tho I started to feel a lil bit better but was still extremely fatigued. Ran some blood work, came back normal, except slightly elevated white blood cell count so maybe an infection? However, I was warned by my primary care doctor not too long ago that I was at risk of getting a heart attack or a stroke since my triglyceride levels were extremely high along with high cholesterol and a history of high blood pressure. Night before this happened I drank a lot of Coca Cola and a lot of red meats with carbs. So all this might’ve contributed to my little episode this morning.
Finally ! Someone knows what she talking about .. Iv Experience this for over 5 years still having episode to the point I address my peeps with please lie me to the floor asp .. I wish more people understood this painful embarrassing conditions !! Thank you for posting this …
@shahzaibhassan6201 I literally didn't even know what happen. One minute I was on the toilet only to wake up sweating on the ground after passing out for 30 seconds or so
Happened to me 3 times. Last time, I was being careful not to strain too much. But once it started, I couldn't stop it, even using techniques I saw on TH-cam. The nausea, followed by a rapid decrease in BP - I knew what was happening, but still couldn't prevent it.
I keep getting cold sweats after pooping. Fainted twice now after pooping, does anyone else get an impending sense of doom before it happens? That's the worse part for me
It feels good like you know youre not the only one... facing this...like I get a sense of relief after seeing comments.....that this is not that serious and the fear which i had about this... it's literally gone...!!!!
The best part about you is the way you make the content more reasonable+ with your soothing voice it actually makes us feel to watch the video with a more concentration , like literally I get positive vibes whenever I see any of your videos , knowledge+ positive vibes 🌼🌼 lots of love hugs and happiness to you from me and from my fellow Indian mates ☺️ ,for delivery such a content , definitely would spread much more words for your channel!!!
I have Ulcerative colitis and this happens to me a lot. No straining,just regular bowel movements and I get dizzy,weak and nauseous. I installed grab bars to protect myself so I can use them instead of falling off the commode.
I've never full on fainted while having a bm, but I've come pretty close!! I have blacked out before and quickly snap out of it going "I'll just go later, I need to get off the toilet" lol...it's scary.
Im experiencing this multiple times a week for the last 6 months now. Starts with severe stomach cramping, this internal sickly feeling, clammy skin, cold-sweats, by then im rushing to the bathroom despite not even feeling like I have to go. Its just this feeling as if you need to push the pain out. This is usually when my hearing starts to go, and then my vision starts to go black. Usually, I run back to my couch or bed to lay down immediately out of sheer panic before actually passing out. Then my sight and hearing slowly comes back. Then the process repeats until im actually able to use the bathroom. Its horrible 😣 I think I have IBS but haven't gone to the doctor to confirm it since I dont have health insurance yet
Same here. I have had several mild panic episodes from the severe cramps and awful feeling while going to the bathroom but yesterday I got clammy and really hot, pale, hearing and sight kind of grayed out, couldn’t think or speak well, moving my hands was hard, I felt so out of it that I was going to pass out or die. I called 911 and normally I hate people being around when I go #2, I turn the shower and fan on, but yesterday I was so terrified by these new symptoms that I had my partner hold my hand while I pooped. It was so embarrassing. I am terrified to go again.
Thank you for your video. I do believe that the Vagus nerve goes past the abdomen as well. I had a syncope episode having a normal bowel movement and I knew it was a vagus para-sympathetic nerve symptom. (retired R.N.). Can't convince my family physician that this is why it happen. I woke up on the some time later on the floor in bathroom, falling face first. Ended up with the racoon look. Still have a lump on my left orbital area near the eyebrow, one year later. Was glad I didn't break any facial bones. Will be watching more of your videos.
I started fainting about two years ago, to the point of completely passing out and waking up on the floor, not even knowing how long I have even been there, but when I come to, I feel perfectly well and like nothing even happened. My doctor had me examined and couldn’t find anything! I just did it again 30 minutes ago and I was determined to goggle and see if other people are experiencing this.
@@joycedistler4332 I have come to sore in my shoulders and forehead, soiled or see that I’ve thrown up, but the disorientation only last a few seconds. I only experience a few of these episodes a year, and each time I am afraid as the first, because I know it is going to happen and I can’t do anything to stop it.
Only the last few months, I have been extremely tired after a bm. I have tried everything you suggested and nothing works !! I wish someone had some answers. Even a nap hardly helps!!
Wow, that must've been so scary for both of you! It's a very real phenomenon, and I sincerely believe it has to do with the parasympathetic nervous system/vagus nerve - but fainting can result in serious injury, and this kind of fainting needs to be discussed so much more! I hope you've figured out how to manage this and no longer experience it 🧡
Everything you said, I can attest that this is accurate, as I have suffered from, what I just found out was Vasovagal Syncope. I did have a doctor tell me years ago that my blood pressure dropped and when that happens, to lay down on the floor and elevate my legs. I was relieved to know the name of what I have experienced! But, I have to tell you that your credibility would skyrocket if you corrected your posture and get those things that looks like boogers in your nose out of your nose. I’m sure I will hear a lot of flak for telling you that, but it just isn’t very professional!! I’m doing you a favor! Much love, Janette
I'm trying to see/find out also if diet has anything to do with it. As in dehydration from coffee and fiber afterwards. And wanted to also know if resting with elevated feet. It seems you scarcely noted to elevate feet. But this morning I had a different experience. Yet, this was helpful. Thank you.
This has happened to me before, and I’ve fainted for other reasons than this so I’m not entirely a stranger to it (although insanely terrified of fainting still lol). But if there’s anything I believe now, it’s that it’s diet. I eat pretty well lately. But last night I had 3 fruit roll ups and goldfish. I just woke up and had one of the worst experiences & didn’t even go to the bathroom. Ended up gagging and sweating and crawling to my air conditioner. This only happens when I eat processed sugary & salty products!! I have 0 interest anymore 😭
Fainted last night and another time earlier. Its scary. Dammn. Your discussion and content comforts us. Just want to know, is there any preventive action when we feel like something like this gonna happen soon
Me too. It’s very scary. My stomach started acting up and I wasn’t near a toilet and I passed out pulling into Home Depot. I woke up safe with foot on break. Good luck to you too
This has been going on with me for as long as I can remember. Just happened to me. It usually happens late at night, during the night, or very early morning. I’ll sit down, usually the first symptom is chills, then I start feeling a little dizzy, then my head starts to hurt, then my ears start ringing, and finally I start to black out. I’ve never found a way to treat this but usually before a faint I lower myself on the bathroom floor and that usually fixes it immediately.
My mom keeps fainting while on the toilet after having large BMs. We've brought her to the ER 3 times now in the past 2 months due to passing out. No doctor has been able to advise us what to do to prevent it. It wasn't until the 3rd visit the ER doc diagnosed it, and said to have my mom use a bed pan so that way she at least can faint in bed :( Not a good solution, IMO. It's so scary. My mom is almost in her 80s and various diseases have her lacking most mobility so there's no way she can bend to put head between legs safely. I've read that among elderly patients w/this condition, many die within 2 years of it starting, and I know someone personally who's older relative had it and no solution was ever given by drs. There must be a good solution for elderly?!
It felt like drying, was so painful and that awful feeling you want to vomit but at the same time your poop won't come out 'cos your lack of strength. What an awful experience won't wish to anyone. I have anxiety and pretty sure I have also IBS these are rare but I hate when this happens.
I will get lightheaded for a second when I poop sometimes, it doesnt seem to matter how much I am straining. This also happens in the kitchen sometimes if I am washing a glass. I will black out for a split second and drop the glass. I have also dropped something out of my hand if I am upset. I have never fainted though. Can any of this be related to blood pressure or blood sugar? I am pre diabetic. What type of specialist should I start with? My PCP isnt much help. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Can an anxiety attack cause this problem due to being sick, like having food poisoning that results in diarrhea and vomiting? I fainted twice yesterday like this while sitting on the toilet . I had diarrhea about 20 times in a 12 hour period. I also threw up 6 times. I also had a headache, a runny nose, stomach cramps, and a fever. I was sweating and I had shivers (I felt ice cold). I also had an anxiety attack, and nausea. All prior to throwing up. Afterwards they all went away except the cramps. I also had bloating due to excess stomach fluids, which were causing the repeated diarrhea. Symptoms of the fainting. Note: This was not like standing up too fast and getting light headed. Symptoms In order as they happened to meover a period of about a 1/2 a minute. 1. Load ringing in my ears 2. Higher blood pressure in my head , my temples throbbed. The muscles in top part of my head tensed and hurt. I had a blood/ metallic taste in my nose/ mouth. 3. Tingling in my head and hands 4. Tunnel vision. Thing got darker around my peripherals. Note: no sparks 5. The feeling of ice coldness in my arms. 6. Numbness in my arms 7. Hearing loss, like my ears were being muffled. 8. My vision got bright white. My eyes must have dilated. 9. Then I lost consciousness. 10. The headache and ringing in my ears came back afterwards. I also had trouble thinking and trouble talking. I knew clearly what I wanted to say but I couldn’t compose it properly. This symptom only lasted for about three minutes. Note: Aspirin and sleep made those two symptoms go away. Standing and walking helped make the symptoms subside. I went to the hospital on my own after I recovered. I thought that I was dehydrated. The doctor did not find anything wrong with me. The doctor did give me an IV drip for dehydration, and some Imodium too. My guess was that I was not dehydrated but that I passed out due to anxiety, like going into shock. Personal history: I’m a male, I’m 49, and I’m 235 lb I do get travel or wait anxiety. Where I automatically feel the need to go number two if I anticipate waiting for a long duration of time between restroom breaks. I have sleep apnea. I grind my teeth when I sleep. I also have mild high blood pressure. I have had at least four anxiety attacks in my life all due to being sick. Those all had uncontrollable rapid breathing. I have fainted two times before this. One was due to pain the other was due to sickness. The latter was the one time that was similar to this time I passed out. The last time was about 30 years ago. My family members with diabetes warn me to get checked for diabetes. Active life. I walk half my shift and sit half my shift as a full time security guard. I bicycle long distances on a regular basis as a hobby.
anxiety can be connected with fight - flight or freeze. That can be connected to adrenaline and other neurotransmitters and hormones. Like playing possim.
I have been diagnosed years back when i was a teenager with orthostatic hypotension and when i pass out i get sick from both ends afterwards. Is that considered the same thing? To loose bowel function and stomach AFTER passing out? Or is that something else? It's happened to me more than once and it concerns me. Im 31 now and passing out episodes happen more often, i would hate to be in public if this should happen to me again it's so embarrassing!!!
I’ve had fainting episodes with vomiting afterwards multiple times when I was in late adolescence. Doctors never gave me any information. I got a 24 hour heart monitor once but no useful answers. Fortunately for me, it has stopped. Curious tho….
I am prone to fainting and I have fainted in the toilet. I think it does involve the parasympathetic nervous system, as I experience similar symptoms as when I faint from other causes (blood, pain, heat). Interestingly, I have also fainted during intercourse, which I think has a similar mechanism. Thanks for the video :) have you ever fainted?
I haven't been shopping in a while, but I've heard there are a lot more adult diapers on the shelves. I've seen a few advertisement for them. Is there some increased need for those lately? Unrelated to this video I was just wondering.
I was just working out at high intensity and needed to poop, I held it in for a set than ran to the bathroom…. when I sat down and let go I felt weird then…
can you do a video about having anxiety masturbating? I'm a 22 year old virgin and I want to have sex but I also want to explore my body first but I always get so anxious and kind of uncomfortable. Also I think I might be tighter than the average person? (sorry if this is TMI)

I recently had two incidents of fainting, both preceeded by drinking and then pooping - I did get a lump on the head on one of these incidents.

Can an anxiety attack cause this problem due to being sick, like having food poisoning that results in diarrhea and vomiting?
I fainted twice yesterday like this while sitting on the toilet .
I had diarrhea about 20 times in a 12 hour period. I also threw up 6 times. I also had a headache, a runny nose, stomach cramps, and a fever. I was sweating and I had shivers (I felt ice cold). I also had an anxiety attack, and nausea.
All prior to throwing up. Afterwards they all went away except the cramps. I also had bloating due to excess stomach fluids, which were causing the repeated diarrhea.
Symptoms of the fainting.
Note: This was not like standing up too fast and getting light headed.
Symptoms In order as they happened to meover a period of about a 1/2 a minute.
1. Load ringing in my ears
2. Higher blood pressure in my head , my temples throbbed.
The muscles in top part of my head tensed and hurt.
I had a blood/ metallic taste in my nose/ mouth.
3. Tingling in my head and hands
4. Tunnel vision. Thing got darker around my peripherals. Note: no sparks
5. The feeling of ice coldness in my arms.
6. Numbness in my arms
7. Hearing loss, like my ears were being muffled.
8. My vision got bright white. My eyes must have dilated.
9. Then I lost consciousness.
10. The headache and ringing in my ears came back afterwards.
I also had trouble thinking and trouble talking. I knew clearly what I wanted to say but I couldn’t compose it properly. This symptom only lasted for about three minutes.
Note: Aspirin and sleep made those two symptoms go away.
Standing and walking helped make the symptoms subside.
I went to the hospital on my own after I recovered.
I thought that I was dehydrated.
The doctor did not find anything wrong with me. The doctor did give me an IV drip for dehydration, and some Imodium too.
My guess was that I was not dehydrated but that I passed out due to anxiety, like going into shock.
Personal history:
I’m a male, I’m 49, and I’m 235 lb
I do get travel or wait anxiety. Where I automatically feel the need to go number two if I anticipate waiting for a long duration of time between restroom breaks.
I have sleep apnea.
I grind my teeth when I sleep.
I also have mild high blood pressure.
I have had at least four anxiety attacks in my life all due to being sick. Those all had uncontrollable rapid breathing.
I have fainted two times before this. One was due to pain the other was due to sickness. The latter was the one time that was similar to this time I passed out.
The last time was about 30 years ago.
My family members with diabetes warn me to get checked for diabetes.
Active life.
I walk half my shift and sit half my shift as a full time security guard.
I bicycle long distances on a regular basis as a hobby.
anxiety can be connected with fight - flight or freeze. That can be connected to adrenaline and other neurotransmitters and hormones. Like playing possim.
😔I fainted
I have been diagnosed years back when i was a teenager with orthostatic hypotension and when i pass out i get sick from both ends afterwards. Is that considered the same thing? To loose bowel function and stomach AFTER passing out? Or is that something else? It's happened to me more than once and it concerns me. Im 31 now and passing out episodes happen more often, i would hate to be in public if this should happen to me again it's so embarrassing!!!
I’ve had fainting episodes with vomiting afterwards multiple times when I was in late adolescence. Doctors never gave me any information. I got a 24 hour heart monitor once but no useful answers. Fortunately for me, it has stopped. Curious tho….
I am prone to fainting and I have fainted in the toilet. I think it does involve the parasympathetic nervous system, as I experience similar symptoms as when I faint from other causes (blood, pain, heat). Interestingly, I have also fainted during intercourse, which I think has a similar mechanism. Thanks for the video :) have you ever fainted?
Can this explanation be for passing gas ?
I haven't been shopping in a while, but I've heard there are a lot more adult diapers on the shelves. I've seen a few advertisement for them. Is there some increased need for those lately? Unrelated to this video I was just wondering.

Muting the words trauma and orgasm is ridiculous. You are talking about the body and health conditions. Stop editing this for children.
I was just working out at high intensity and needed to poop, I held it in for a set than ran to the bathroom…. when I sat down and let go I felt weird then…
can you do a video about having anxiety masturbating? I'm a 22 year old virgin and I want to have sex but I also want to explore my body first but I always get so anxious and kind of uncomfortable. Also I think I might be tighter than the average person? (sorry if this is TMI)
