What Causes Excessive Sweating And Nausea While Having A Bowel Movement?

I have sweating, nausea, feeling like I will faint and pain when trying to have a bowel movement when constipated. This has just started, the last 2 times. I have normal movements most of the time. I take a laxative when the constipation goes 2 days.

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear this is probably due to vasovagal response, due to over straining during defecation stimulate the Vagus nerve which will cause brain stimulation lead to vasodilatation of blood vessels with Brady cardiac lead to below symptoms,

1.Dizziness, feeling faint or light-headed
2.Feeling suddenly warm, sweaty, or having your
skin feel cold and clammy
3.Blurry vision or tunnel vision (blackness in the
periphery of your vision)
4.Feeling nauseous
5.A ringing in your ears
6.Turning pale
7.Temporary loss of consciousness through a fainting spell.

So please avoid risk factors. Eat plenty of fiber, regular exercise, avoid alcohol and smoking,use laxatives. Still your symptoms not improved consult your doctor.
