Are Hot Sweats, Nausea, Vomiting And Diarrhea Post Intake Of Dulcolax A Cause For Concern?
I was constipated for 2 days so I took Dulcolax laxatives it took about 6 hours to work but when it did I became dizzy I broke out in hot sweats I was nauseated. I first threw up then followed the diarrhea with severe stomach cramps I even lost conscious at one time this went on all night so my question to you is are these types of symptoms normal or not?
HI, Welcome to HCM, I read your query and i appreciate your concern regarding this issue.
As per your question these symptoms were because of Dulcolax. which lower your blood pressure at that time and you became dehydrated aswell. I would not suggest you to take Dulcolax next time. In case of constipation, you should improve your diet like add fresh fruits and vegetables. Take alot of water and fresh juices. Go for walk regularly. Take natural laxative like Ispaghol Husk two table spoon with lukewarm water or milk at night, If the condition remains same then you should visit Hospital.
Hope so it will be helpful. You can write again in case of any query or follow up. Wish you good health. Regards
