Heart Palpitations and Constipation

yes!! i actually fainted last month from the pain and panic that it induced

If I don’t go for days it feels like I’m “pregnant with a poop”. This is how I describe the uncomfortable feeling to people who don’t experience IBS or constipation. My whole day is essentially ruined until I go. But I’ll silently suffer through it and push myself through the day because I don’t have a choice. If I’m lucky relief comes early or I’m up at night after the household goes to sleep dealing with it. But to answer your question, yes I feel my heart rate go up and I’ve even popped blood vessels in my face and neck from pushing so hard. When I was a kid I’d pass out on the toilet from exhaustion.

happens to me too
