Reply to "Exertion of Bowel Movements"

Straining can cause blood to gather in the belly. But I don't know if that's enough to have your heart rate increase like that. I experienced that straining could cause me circulatory problems because of a lack of blood in the head, especially if I was low at weight with too much diarrhea.

It may help to breathe deeply instead of straining, to support digestive movement. That works easier if you don't take too much loperamide during daytime. Another point is Scott's advice to stay well hydrated.
