What Causes Constipation, Dizziness And Weakness?

I have constipation on a regular basis due to medications I am on. I have some straining but it s bearable. My problem is that I occasionally have an episode of a large (in length and diameter) bowel movement. (It is obviously easier to expel than the clod or rock like constipation emptying.) But when I stand, I m dizzy and weak after the full evacuation. These episodes happen maybe once a month. Should I be concerned? Thank you for your service! Brenda C.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You maybe suffering from constipation with defecation synchope. Need to take high fibre diet, regular exercise and drink plenty of water. Use stool softener like syrp.lactulose at night. If symptoms do not improve, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
