What Causes Light Headedness And Profuse Sweating During A Bowel Movement?

Yes, I have been having trouble with my bowels. At times, during the process of going, I get extremely light headed, to the point of almost fainting, I break out in a sweat, I feel like I am going to vomit, then I will have my bowel movement with no difficulty and everything goes away. Now I am having frequent diarrhea.

Hello,

You are experiencing alternate bowel movements that means sometimes you strain a lot due to constipation and now diarrhea which is a classical pathology of some bowel diseases. We need to do a colonoscopy to check out what could be wrong with you. An ultrasound abdomen will also help us in the process. Hope you get these two things and come back to us for further follow-up.

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

Regards,
Dr. Archana
