Jacquie802 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I know everyone here has some GI problems, but do some of them include your heart rate to go up when you have to use the bathroom. I noticed that when I have to use the bathrooom for urination, etc. (I'm sure you get the idea!) my heart rate spikes up and I get very dizzy and faint. Then other times I feeel dizzy and when I use the bathroom I feel better....Just wondering what it is! Thanks for any input. Take care guys!

taylortotmom Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Yes, many people have syncopal or presyncopal symptoms when using the bathroom. I believe it is related still to the vasovagal reflex. My cardiologist stated he has a patient who passed out everytime she tried to use the bathroom and had severe constipation as a result. (I wouldn't want to go either if I was afraid of cracking my head open on the toilet!). Anyway, yes, it is part of the package, too.Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
