I have asthma and it s usually never severe as long as I have my inhaler. However, I get these bowel movements that are different from normal bows movements I call them death poops because they have almost killed me about 6 times. I get an urgent need to evacuate my bowels and I can generally hold it until the urgent feeling passes but this is not always the case sometimes the feeling is so painfully urgent that I have to evacuate my bowels and when I do I get an insanely bad asthma attack that exacerbates quickly. It s so bad that if I do not call 911 immediately I will probably die in a matter of minutes. Why is it only when I poop that I have severe asthma attacks? Cause I ve never had a sever attack that wasn t during or right after a Howe movement.
