Brief Answer:
you can try bisacodyl containing laxative
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
From what you have described here it looks that you must be requiring to strain at stools a lot.
Sweating, paliptations, flushing is seen when there is vagal stimulation which occurs if you strain hard for stools which causes increased abdominal pressure and the symptoms you mentioned.
You need to have a easy bowel movement without much straining.
Movicol is like an iso osmotic laxative which may need straining.
I would like to advice you to take laxative containing bisacodyl. It comes with trade name dulcolax in XXXXXXX You need to find out from your pharmacy in your area what is the trade name.
Whenever you feel constipated and need to evacuate your bowels you should take 2 tablets in night for clean bowel movements the next morning.
Try this tablet and I hope it will surely help you without causing the problems you mentioned.
If you have any questions kindly ask me back will be happy to answer them.
