if you stayed for long time on toilet then you stand it could cause some thing called postural hypo tension, and this leads to headache. so try to not sit a lot there.
also it could be disturbance movements you don't feel during pooping . so try to change your position , like squatting on the bathroom seat, get the sensation that things are coming out more smoothly
avoid caffeine stress
